It has been a while but I had a very bad experience with an NAD receiver and then with the difficult process of getting it replaced. That being said, the NAD sound was quite good for a receiver. Someone I know was just telling me how much he loved his NAD integrated and had never had any issues. I would look for an integrated or separates that have the drive needed for your speakers. You should have some good options in your budget range. Maybe MF kW500.
