I have an older NAK receiver although it's not the Stasis design. I have it hooked up to older B&W 601s. Good match--not audiophile, but it works for the computer system. If I had the Stasis and was in the $1k range I would seriously consider the Totem Arros. Great little speakers. I have heard them with quite a lot of different equipment, and I think the NAK would be a great match. I do agree to some degree that $1k is a bit overkill for that receiver, but I think this combination would be extremely satisfying. You could probably pick up used arros for considerably less--although they don't show up used that often.
What speakers for an old Nakamichi receiver
My daughter is into audio appreciation and, just starting, the early stages of audiophilia. She is ready for new speakers after bearing with budget-driven JBLs and old Genesis for several years. The electronic driver is one of the Nakamichi receivers of over a decade or more ago, with the Stasis circuitry somehow licensed from Nelson Pass/Threshold at the time. The power of that receiver is small, I think about 35 watts, but the sound is clean. She has easy access to dealers with B & W speakers and perhaps others, and her budget would be around a list price of $1200. While my own system is an audiophile system, I do not have the chance to listen to the zillions of new-generation speakers and models which are in the market. Any help would be appreciated.
