Is there a Musical HT Receiver....?


I currently use a Luminous Audio Axiom volume knob and an Acurus A150 with an Adcom GCD 750 but I now want to include HT in my setup. Is there a receiver that will sound as musical as the Acurus but provide DTS and pro logic? I'm using Paradigm Monitor 9's for the fronts. I would appreciate any advice for brands or configurations to the setup.

I have been very happy with my Nakamichi AV10; it sounds quite good to my ears. I auditioned many of the Denon and Marantz receivers in the sub $2K range and this was the hands down winner, at least for me. You should be able to get one new for around $1K (though I have not checked the price recently). Excellent for 2ch and theater (pro-logic, DolbyDigital and DTS). BTW, I have the Paradigm Esprit bipolars as my mains; the AV10 drove them quite nicely (at least before I put a Parasound power amp in the chain). Good luck and happy hunting...
