I picked up an NAD C372 today. I just tried one CD, Def Leppards greatest hits. MAN, does this thing go! Too many people in the house right now to go nuts. I was thinking that the 60's, while nice, weren't going to cut it. However, with a nice new amp, these things really sing. If you start replacing an old system, you must replace both the amp and speakers to truly know what you are getting (I have now decided).
It is so cool to have a remote for the amp.
While I don't think that you need monster power for home theatre (IMHO), it is a must for loud music and Axioms.
Now if these people would just go out for something/anything :-).
