$1000 receiver dilemma: Marantz, NAD, Denon

Posted by pcalvin (A) on January 21, 2003 at 21:25:19

I am looking to power a set of PSB Image 4T, 2B and 8C. (Currently a set of 5.1 Bose) The receiver needs to be advanced feature wise to last a good many years without an upgrade. The price point seems to be just a bit over the 1K mark.
I have a Marantz SR7300, NAD T752 and NAD T762, and Denon 3803 in the current list for possibilities. I plan for this system to run about 50/50 music/HT. The music doesn't need to be played at extreme volumes, but it should sound very crisp and full at medium volume with the option to annoy the neighbors...

Any suggestions are very appreciated, as dealers will always put a certain...spin on the brands they have chosen to provide.
Other models or brands that fit are more than welcome...

I have heard about some quality control issues with the NAD, and about some low power production from the Denon with all channels running. I do have a 100+ watt Carver Amp that can be used to power the Main set if required.
I have heard nothing about the Marantz unit, except general comments on Marantz...all good.
