Strength:
very good for stereo music imputs and connections
Weakness:
Looks moderate power I've bought this receiver two years ago, and i'm using it with a $250 chinese DVD player, Sony XA20ES CD player, Lin Basik TT, with akito arm, and K9 cell, Kef Reference 104.3 main speakers, monitor audio silver 12i central speaker, monitor audio ruby 3 surrounds, and REL Stadium II subwoofer. The main speakers use TNT triple T home made computer Cat 5 cables(http://www.tnt-audio.com/ clinica/ triple_t.html This is a very musical receiver, and I use it mainly for enjoying stereo Music, and it never let me down. It´s not an high end product, and it's not very powerful, but in moderate volumes you cannot notice the difference from much more expensive receivers. Connected with a good quality source it sounds fabulous. It has good connectivity, (2 coaxial digital imputs, 5.1 pre-outs, 6 ch direct imputs-for sacd) The case looks cheap, in the line of some older nad products, but the sound is so good that makes you forget those small defects. Its not very heavy(about 9 Kgs), so it means that the power source its not very large, Similar Products Used: denon avr3300 marantz sr5000 H-K AV7000 |

Strength:
Power, Build Quality, 5.1 inputs and outputs, price.
Weakness:
At this price? are you kidding? At $700, this would be a good receiver at a good price. But at 350? This could be one of the deals of the century! If you are looking for separates performance with the convenience of a reciever or are looking for hifi on a low-fi budget, this is definitely the way to go! With 5.1 inputs and outputs it is also future proof! Forget the mass-market junk! Buy from a REAL audio company. Similar Products Used: Carver, Newcastle, Onkyo, HK |
