    AV Receiver vs NAD 3020b amp

    Hmm ok. A lot to ponder about and fiddle with. The Denon do not have enough musicality and oomph to me.  And I am a sucker for old school equipment....I will try and make sense of all your extremely confusing but excellent terminology.  Please be patient. I am an ecologist. Now a lot about fish...

    AV Receiver vs NAD 3020b amp

    Thanks.  I do have limited space to move the speakers around - but will see - it make is a BIG difference (although my wife do not believe me... :ticked:) Something else: I also have a Musical Fidelity A1 amp which I bought in the early 90's.  One channel is not working -  something has blown. ...

    AV Receiver vs NAD 3020b amp

    Thanks. I do not want the NAD to become redundant as it is such a classic piece of equipment, but I will keep it in mind.  Any opinion on the REGA Poweramp? It is also almost 16 years old but have not been used a lot.  I am taking delivery of it next week.

    Home theatre options with old school equipment?

I have listened to the JBL Loft 50 SS system which impressed me quit a bit as well as the Boston Acoustics Classic series II ss system and the entr?e level and Jamo S426HCS3 ss system.  Impressed by...

    Home theatre options with old school equipment?

    Hi Neil yes I listened to the HK AVR150 and the Denon AVRX 1000 on a set of JBL Loft Surround sound system. I agree there were not a big difference in perceived power output, but the Denon sounded clearer to me, while the HK sounded more "neutral". Any reliability issues with these products...

    Home theatre options with old school equipment?

    Thanks! I have decided to go with buying an AVR first.  I am looking at the Denon AVRX2000, which one can pick up currently at good prices - I guess due to the new models being launched.  I see that the AVRX2000 did get some good ratings and a What Hi Fi best buy award. Alternatively the...

    I have a NAD 3020 classic amp that still works perfectly. I also have a set of Infinity i1 bookshelves and a set of Phillips 484 3 way speakers linked to a Harman Kardon DVD 22.  I use this solely for listening to music, but want to set this now up to view high quality music DVD's (mostly live...
