Like Michael, I thought that the idea was to spend roughly
half your budget on speakers. Of course, this was the received
wisdom in the days of two-speaker systems. No idea how that
scales in the 13.1 era.
I seem to recall spending a hideous amount of money on my
mostly under-used Denon AVR (purchased a fortnight before
some goon worked out that an extra speaker in the center rear
was *essential* for good sound) and accompanying Krix speakers.
But it *does* produce a very nice sound.
My opinion of NAD has sunk hugely over the past decade. Strangely
Marantz is now on the up, though I think I'd still feel silly buying
one. A friend was looking at one of the $3k onkyo's recently, but
I think he went H&K instead - something about the 27 inputs and
the ability to have disparate output streams. He also only drinks
genuine Italian coffee, so make of that what you will.
Jedd.
