I really like NAD equipment. I think it has a rich, warm, full bodied sound. Very good bass response. Maybe exactly what you are looking for.
Best "warm" receiver for MA Silver 9i's?
I just purchased the Monitor Audio Silver 9i's and accompanying speakers after testing countless systems. I've yet to purchase a receiver though, and my budget really doesn't allow for a separate pre/amp setup. I've read a ton about how these speakers need a "warm" receiver to sound their best. I think breaking them in will help, but can anyone recommend a receiver out there, for below $1,500, that will be a great match for this system? Currently, I'm looking at the Marantz SR-7000 and the Pioneer Elite VSX-37TX (which I can get a pretty good deal on). Also, I hadn't even considered biwiring these speakers, but everyone I talk to really thinks I should. What all is involved in that process, and will it really make a differnce? Thanks a ton! Jason
