Hi there, any suggestion on upgrading my current receiver a Pioneer VSX-D814.
My speaker set up is as follow:
Main: Monitor Audio Bronze B4
Rears:MA Bronze B2
Center: MA Bronze Centre
Sub: Infinty Beta SW-10
I'm looking for a receiver wich will make the speakers sound more warm, yet detailed, also i would like an receiver wich would make my speaker setup sound detailed, even at low listening volume's.
A second hand receiver is an option.
The budget is around €400- €500.
These ar the ones i'm considering:
Marantz: SR-7400 / SR-5500 / SR-5600 / SR-5400 or SR-5400 OSE.
NAD: T753 / T753v2 / T743v2
Onkyo: TX-Sr703 / TX-sr702 / Tx-sr801
Harman Kardon: AVR 435/ AVR 335
Any suggestions/ listening experience.
Greetz

MA and NAD work well. 753 over the 743, even a 763 would be better. |

So, HK & Nad should give the kind of sound i'm looking for, warm and detailed even at low listening volume's.
I'm currently bidding for a second hand Nad 753 V2. I've read about a lot of problems with the current NAD line up of receivers. What can i expect? |

Stay away from a second hand NAD with no guarantee. |

Does the HK AVR 435 deliver 4 ohm loads, in other words can it drive difficult speakers.
My current speakers are fairly easy to drive, but in the future i would like to upgrade to Dynaudio's (the Audience range)or maybe B&W (600 series). So the receiver should be able to drive these speakers. |

I've come across one Onkyo TX-DS898, also second hand, in mint condition. This one can be bouhgt for about € 450.
Looks like a serious contender.
Will it give the sound i want with my monitor audio's. |
