Recommendations A/V RCVR


Hello,

I'm in the process of buying an new A/V Rcvr and would like to get some input as to which ones are best sounding with reagard to music. I am going to use this about 80% of the time for music. I am relplacing an old Sansui G5700, which in my mind has a relatively warm sound for a solid state rcvr (and particularly nice for organ music so I'm told). I suppose I would like to replicate that if possible. I'm looking at an output power of around 100 W/CH and am will be using Snell E.5 mains (as well as the accompanying center and surrounds). I am currently looking at the Denon 2800/3200 and Marantz SR6200/7200 as well as some Yamahas and Onkyo's.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Most popular currently is the Outlaw. See Outlawaudio.com

Onkyo still makes their high end Integra line. They dropped the Onkyo name for these. They are now called Integra Research. See IntegraResearch.com

I have not heard the NAD HT receivers, but based on audio reputation I would give them a listen.

Sugarbrie is on target with his comments about the Outlaw. As to the ones you are considering, the Marantz SR6200 was just reviewed very highly for music playback in What Hi Fi (British magazine). From experience, the Denon (2802) was not great with music.
