I have the NAD C370 Integrated amp and C422 Tuner driving Athena Audition AS-F2 speakers in the living room and purchased the Rotel RX-1052 from THYNAME used, for a den setup. Right now, the Rotel replaced my Yamaha RX-595 in the bedroom. I have to get rid of a guest bedroom set in June then convert that room to a den and get some Axiom M50s for the Rotel.
I'm in Michigan. I went to look at the Rotel before I purchased THYNAME's unit. The guy at the store was quoting $900us for the RX-1052, giving no discount on Rotel stuff.
Oh, don't worry about the 50 watt "overkill" of the NAD. You'll probably have it for a long time and maybe upgrade your speakers years from now or move your system to a larger room where you'll need the power. A 150Wpc unit is nice to have. If you lean toward an all-in-one receiver, I think the Rotel is the best choice of the bunch!
