Don't buy a T760. It's been superseded by the T751 and T761. I'm not sure of the details but I think the newer range corrects some of the menu problems in the T760. The 751 has the same power rating as the 760. The 761 is 80W all around and has more inputs. In some countries the 761 also comes with a learning remote. You can see all three at the link below.

I chose the T751 because it has sufficient flexibility for my system and in Canada the T761 doesn"t come with a universal remote. I didn't compare the NAD to anything in its price range. I bought it because I've owned NAD products in one system or another since 1979. NAD is about music, not numbers and is always good value. And the EARS system is actually useable for some music, as opposed to distorted DSP settings like Hall and Toilet. I tried a cheaper 100W Teac, thinking that sound quality wouldn't matter much for HT, but I was wrong. It sounded horrible, no punch at all. The NAD has amazing musicality for the money. I compared it to my stereo separates to judge it. Not as good certainly, but damn good just the same.

I've never heard the AVR-100, but Arcam is a fine company. The AVR-100 is double the price of the T751 and 1.5X the price of the T761 in Canada. NAD is commonly sold at a pretty good discount.

Hope this helps.
