Luxman R-115 vs Nad 7175PE
Better in this case is very subjective. Only you can decide which sounds better.With that said, the Luxman R-115 is a wonderful stereo receiver with a top notch tuner on board and plenty of neutral/warmish and detailed ooomph to mate with many a s... 
New Yamaha a-s3000 and a-s2100 integrated amps ??
Tasos1,Excellent review of the Yamaha A-S2100. Your thoughts and descriptions mimic almost exactly what I feel about my new(4 months) Yamaha A-S1000 integrated. As the little brother(48 pounds) to the 2000, 2100, and 3000, this 1000 is no less ove...

12-09-14: Mapman"Which ones use Class D?"I know the current Pioneer Elite models SC-81 through SC-89 do.Bill 
AV Receivers not using Class D or Ice amplifiers
NAD, Cambridge Audio, Marantz, Onkyo, Denon, Yamaha and yes Anthem. I am sure there are others.Bill 
Would Klipsch forte ii go good with my system
If me, I would move the forte II's to a 2-channel rig and get the RF-7's to match the rest of your speakers in your HT rig. The forte II's are wonderful speakers that can rock out as well as display the detailed nuances of complex music as well as... 
Cambridge Audio 840-C cd- problems
I think the 840C may be worth repairing and keeping. Give Audio Plus Services a call and contact Michel Rousseau. They are the US distributor of CA and authorized repair center. My experiences with them have been positive with great communication ... 
Acurus A250
Congrats on a great amp. I have owned two A250's, two A200's, two A150's, two A200x3's, two A200x5's, one A100x3, and one A100. Okay, I am an Acurus fan boy. Needless to say, used Acurus amps are IMO performance bargains especially the A250 which ... 
nad m25 no thx logo on front
The M25 is a pretty potent multichannel amplifier.Are you considering a full setup of B&W, Klipsch, or some other brand?If Klipsch, your NAD would have no problem driving a full RF-7II(RF-7II's, RC-64II, RS-62II's) setup. Can't say about B&... 
NAD C372 versatility?
Also, that NAD C542 CD player is one fine sounding player. Best $180.00(used) I have ever spent on a player. Definitely one of my better "bang for the buck" audio purchases. 
NAD C372 versatility?
From my understanding, the 372 is virtually the 162/272 rolled into one chassis. So adding the 162 would seem redundant. As mentioned, "upgrading" the jumpers should offer a bit more performance.Bill 
Best 3 channel amplifiers under $750?
09-24-14: Matti"Find yourself a used Parasound HCA-2003A. Or if you can up your budget a bit - an Aragon 8008X3. The older stuff is where it's at...."And to add to that list, an Acurus A200x3. I currently have one in my main system and have owned ...

Need help deciding on Rotel Amp for 5.2 sys
There are also a couple of Proceed Amp 5's for sale here on Audiogon that will easily complement your system.Bill 
Need help deciding on Rotel Amp for 5.2 sys
As mentioned don't just look at Rotel.Here is a 5-channel B&K that should mate very well with your B&W's and offer tons of headroom to blow you out of your seat.http://app.audiogon.com/listings/multi-ch-b-k-reference-200-5-s2-b-k-high-curr... 
PSB Tower Speakers - Amp Matching
"IMHO NAS is among the most unreliable gear sold and I would go for a Yamaha A-S1000 if integrated is desired."While I have heard quite a bit about NAD's unreliablity, I own and have owned several NAD pieces and all have performed wonderfully with...
