Your Advice on a good HT receiver

Onkyo Integra or NAD

"I want to have good 2 chanel amplification"

Buy a descent receiver, ie Denon 3802 and then buy a seperate (used)2 channel amp and use the preout on the Denon for your fronts.

Sarah,
I agree the Outlaw 1050 is a great bargain at $499 (and I know someone selling a used one at $350 if it isn't already gone), but it is only 65wpc and is a little limited on digital inputs. Website is www.outlawaudio.com

Musically, I think a used Nak AV-10 is one of the best and also very good ergonomically.

However, as I said before, this is a tough load. Nominal impedance of 4 ohms, and dips to less than 2 (1.32 according to website), with sensitivity of 89 dB/W-m. Play this puppy loud and you'll smoke most receivers.

Buy a receiver with the feature set and ergonomics you like, and put a good quality stereo amp on the M-L's.

Inscrutable is correct with the impedance issue. ML's are very difficult to drive effectively. Therefor you need a receiver that doubles into a 4ohm load. To my knowledge Denon is not one of them. Taste is subjective and I certainly don't know yours, but the dynamic range becomes a real issue in HT. Brighter receivers tend to be very harsh in HT(perticularly with ML's). Most HT receivers are Japanese made(or at least designed), most Japanese products tend to be on the harsh side...this may be a real problem for you. There is one exception and that is Marantz. The Marantz receivers will double into a 4ohm load, and tend to be a little warmer. Good luck!

Martin Logan's and BOSE???... lol what a pair... Anyway maybe a NAD i have the C-370 integrated and am VERY happy with it. A great place to buy is www.yawaonline.com they are authorized and hae great prices. was the best online shopping ive ever had. Also maybe you would wanna try a multichannel amp?
