Onkyo TX NR3007
I would gauge your price against new refurbished prices. Accessories4less is currently selling the 3007 for $899.99 with mfr's 1 year warranty.http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/ONKTXNR3007/Onkyo-TX-NR3007-THX-Ultra2-Plus-140w-x-9.2... 
Anthem AV receiver better than Denon as a preamp
I am going to stick by my NAD AVR suggestion in the other thread. I am completely amazed daily how well my older NAD T773 receiver and T175HD pre/pro handle 2-channel music. Get the 2nd from top T775HD or T775HD2 and don't look back. I have had ze... 
CD player with digital input
I have heard nothing but good things about the NAD C565BEE CD player and DAC. If just redbook CD play, this is a pretty good deal.http://app.audiogon.com/listings/cd-sacd-players-nad-c565bee-cd-player-with-manufacturer-s-warranty-2013-01-24-digita... 
Amps - New vs. Used
English210,If you have the $$$ and you want complete peace of mind, by all means get new gear. If you are a bang for the buck kind of guy like I am, get the best used amp you can afford. I have purchased a total of 21 amplifiers in the last 5+ yea... 
Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp
"Yes..I "want to get another AV rceiver with a good pre section"....so it also works "well for 2 channel music" Sorry for the confusion, but that seems pretty straight up. "another AV receiver".I also mentioned twice that a separate 2 channel setu... 
Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp
I also experienced the same thing with my NAD T773 receiver since OP wants another receiver.Bill 
Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp
"The Onkyo PR-SC5509 is a bargain."That I agree with totally."Wenn you use it with Audessey pro there is nothing to beat."I agree with mostly but would use "difficult to beat"."Denon, Nad, Marantz and even Bryston are all 2-dimensional brands. The... 
Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp
"The NAD is one I have thought of. What about the Anthem ?"I have heard really good things about the Anthem MRX receivers, both from users and reviewers. Their ARC auto EQ is where it's at(as well as Audyssey MultEQ XT and XT32). I have no persona... 
Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp
If the OP still wants suggestions for an AVR with a great(open to interpretation) 2-channel preamp section,I would highly suggest an NAD T775HD, or the T785HD. The T775HD would probably be the better choice because with the Bryston amp driving the... 
Good Processor
I am totally pleased with my NAD T175HD pre/pro for HT, multichannel music, and 2-channel music. It really does do all three very well, IMO.Bill 
NAD T 787 ethernet port
"I went from a Marantz SR6006 to an NAD T775HD and I couldn't be happier with the sound that comes from this system. I just wish they would get up to speed with the features the other AV companies offer."I am also very happy with the sound quality... 
Recommendation for new 5-ch Amp
01-12-13: Finsup says:"I have an older Acurus 5-channel amp which I like very much. Now that the company has been re-born, so to speak, I think it might be worth the effort to try an audition a pair." If the new offerings from Acurus(Indy Audio La... 
Looking for revel b15a - do i wait for new revel
I knew it was a Revel B15 because of the cast aluminum feet. I can't understand why Revel decided to eliminate them with the introduction of the B15a. The back panel on the B15a is more user friendly but functionality is still about the same with ... 
Looking for revel b15a - do i wait for new revel
I have owned my B15 for almost a year and could not be happier. In the last 14 months or so, I bought a pair of Paradigm Servo 15a's, a Sunfire True Subwoofer Signature and a Revel B15. Let's put it this way, I no longer own the Servo 15a's or the... 
help on picking new old processor please...
A B&K Reference 50 S2 is a nice processor. A sweet sounding feature rich pre/pro without HDMI in your price range.Anthem would also be a good choice.Bill
