Your Advice on a good HT receiver


I want to have a good HT receiver for my speaker system : Martin Logan Aeon front speaker , B&W HTM center , Bose 301 rear. I want to have good 2 chanel amplification and nice Doldy digital and DTS HT receiver for less than 1300$ used or new.

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?
Those Bose have to go! If you keep them, then forget about getting a good receiver, and buy a cheap and dirty Sony receiver from Best Buy. The best your system can sound is it's weakest link, and the Bose are beyond weak!

In terms of Receivers, the Outlaw is a no-brainer. I have one in a system with a 1000w sub and four tower speakers and a high quality front and rear center. Don't let the low price fool you, it is easliy the best A/V receiver under $1000.
Thanks for all your reponse. Can I plug my martin Logan with the outlaw even if my martin logan are 4 ohm?
The receiver has a 4/8 ohm switch, which is a current limiter, telling me it may be a bit challenged by tough loads. With dips to 1.3 ohms, I would NOT try to run them full-range and loud, but you may get away with having a sub taking the low frequencies off it. I'd suggest you send them an email or post a question over at the Outlaw Saloon (discussion forum on their website) to get an accurate informed response.

If you have a speaker system like the Martin Logan Aeons as your fronts, then I would have to concur with one of the other posters that has posted here. Nothing less than one of the top Marantz models will do for this application. Though hopefully, those Boses will be disposed of pretty soon, I hope. But being that the M/Ls tend to be difficult to drive, I would just as soon buy a good mid priced A/V Receiver with "pre-outs" for the two front channels and then just buy a good stereo amp to drive the M/L when you are listening to music, and then use the A/V Receiver itself to drive the center and surround channels when you are watching movies. Let's see if that works????
