Strength:
crisp clean sound, great power.
Weakness:
no DTS I really like this reciever. I wish it had DTS decoding, but, it doesn't. I find the base to be tight, and the HT and music both extremely satisfying. I've got wharfedale modus 8's hooked up to it, and they sound great too. Great value as you can find it for well under retail. |

Strength:
clean, warm, wonderful and incredible sound
Weakness:
it's only a AC-3 ready receiver(no big deal to me though) I paid $227 for this baby @ ubid.com. Oh my god, that's a unbelievable deal.... love it so much. I use it mostly to listen classical music (symphonies, piano music and it did a great job). I am totally satisfied with this Nak receiver. Way to go Nak!!! |

Strength:
Clear Full Sound, Solid Build
Weakness:
None unless you consider not having binding posts for the center channel & sub woofer a weakness Over the years i've owned several systems going from a run of the mill Technics rack system to a pretty nice Yamaha 200 watt rms system with Genesis speakers. Several of my friends are way into the audio thing, Carver Amps, Dalquist speakers yada yada yada, so I had a fairly good idea of what fell where in the audio spectrum.

Strength:
Best mids. One of best neutral sounding Receivers. Good build quality.
Weakness:
Remote is too big The Nakamichi AV-7 is an ultimate receiver. This is what I have concluded after a week of auditing on this AV-7. Similar Products Used: Marantz SR685 |

Strength:
Price
Weakness:
no phono input, distorted sound past 1/4 volume, cheap feel to dials and push buttons I got rid of my old NAD, don't remember to model number, but it was rated at about 35watts and high amperage. I push a set of Paradign 11SE's rated for 400watts. The Nad never distorted the sound due to the soft clipping feature. The Nak. distorts the sound once you get past 1/4 volume. Also the LED on the volume knob no longer works. Felt like the wiring for the LED inside pulled out when I cranked the volume past 1/2. Similar Products Used: n/a |

Set up the AV-7 two days ago. If you want to buy a unit that stands head and shoulders above the rest of the receivers in production today as far as sound quality goes, than this is it. It has the sound of true separates in a receiver. The amplifier is superb, tuner aceptable, surround modes perfect. If you want a bunch of DSP modes, go elseware. This is superb sound, pure and simple. Four soundfields including dolby pro-logic are offered, that's it. The same unit with a built in digital decoder is the AV-8. The AV-7 has 5.1 inputs. At a price of $499.00 at a local retailer, it is a fantastic buy. Can be had for $469 mail order, but Nakamichi won't honor the warranty. Does a great job with the whole musical spectrum from Classical to Rock. Nak has done a great job. |

Great crisp sound, solid base, good casing. Bought this piece from Ubid for about $300/shipping. Very shocked to find any Nakamichi's for that price...especially brand new - not factory refurb. Hooked it up and it fired away crisp, clean, solid sounds. The highs crisp, bass very solid. The only thing that this receiver lacked was the dolby digital decoder...but it is 'READY'. All in all, AV 7 is a great catch!! Great job to Nakamichi. Hands down. |
