$1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee
"psb works particularly well with nad--you should be able to find something used in their imagine line within your budget"You took the words right out of my mouth.  https://nadelectronics.com/nad-amplifiers-with-perfectpitch/Bill   
stereo receiver recommendations
Don't discount the Onkyo/Integra offerings.  I once drove my Klipsch Heresys with a "legendary" Luxman R-117 stereo receiver and it was pure bliss.  Through much heartache, I sold the Luxman after I picked up an Integra DTM-40.4 network stereo rec...

That Yamaha R-N803 looks very intriguing.   Yamaha is known to be reliable, neutral, and built well.  If I was not set with my rigs I would put that 803 near first in line for a budget system.Bill 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
Great to here that your results are now very pleasing.  I have always had great results with HI's and HII's with Luxman gear.Bill 
KLIPSCH Heritage speakers .
Klipsch Heresy I's and Heresy II's.  This Central Florida(Kissimme/Saint Cloud) boy loves them.My good buddy in Plant City has LaScalas L-C-R in his theater room.Bill 
Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what?
Sorry about your less than happy experience with your HIII's.  I have never owned or even heard HIII's but do own HI's and HII's and have been more than pleased with their performance.  I have tried many different receivers, integrated amps, pre-a... 
One receiver for music also
Not sure of your $$$ budget so I am taking a shot here.  If you like the sound of NAD, then I would say one of their AVRs like the T-777 or T-787.  Both have plenty of grunt to drive most speakers out there.  They don't come equipped with "all" th... 
Cambridge CXR200 vs Anthem MRX720
Though I have never personally heard either AVRs, I do have experience with both brands.  Both of these units have gotten pretty stellar reviews(I know subjective) but I would give the edge to the Anthem solely because of their ARC room setup/EQ.Bill 
Cambridge Audio 751BD has failed--worth repairing?
I owned a 751BD for a few years and it operated trouble free during that time.  Sounded great, for movies and music, and loaded very fast.  I sold it only because I got a steal on an Oppo 105 which I wanted to be able to use it's DAC feature.  How... 
Yamaha A-s2100 vs A-s1100

Onkyo HDMI bad boards.
I have owned an Onkyo TX-SR705 AVR since the fall of 2007 and never a failure.  Soon after, I think the TX-SR#06(possibly SR/NR#07) series is where the troubles began.  Onkyo/Integra did make good after much outcry and warrantied most of the troub... 
KLIPSCH TWEETERS, WHICH STOCK TWEETERS ARE THE BEST
Yes, shoot over to the Klipsch Forum.Bill 
Review: Yamaha A S-2000 Amplifier
Love my A-S1000 but if I can find an A-S2000 for the "right" price, I will sell and get it.Bill 
Looking for vintage system suggestions (maranta, klipsch, etc...)
@rawchuck,Vintage Marantz, Sansui, McIntosh, Yamaha, Pioneer, Luxman, etc. all would mate well with HIII's.As mentioned earlier, shoot over to the Klipsch Forum and see what is for sale.  Some great guys that will point you in the right direction.... 
Looking for vintage system suggestions (maranta, klipsch, etc...)
" I was planning on buying and already fully restored 2275, and possibly some upgraded Heresy I's."" However, I am starting to get the picture that this may not be the best set of speakers for this unit. "Don't discount the Heresys so easily, esp...
