I'm sure you will enjoy the 773. NAD has an excellent reputation for sound quality. It is really simple to work the menu, where as it's closest competition, the HK 7300 has a complicated menu to work through. Tonnes of current to satisfy the db hungry. Just ensure it is the version 2 with the latest upgrades. My thoughts are if this is not enough for an individual, the next up the list is Rotel and or seperates. Both a fair bit more expensive. I added a 3 channel MCA3 amp to run the fronts and center. The main reason is that I use the L/R front 773 channels to run my Monitor Audio S8's in the zone 2. That way the wife can listen to music playing off the CD player while I watch a movie using 7.1 surround in the recroom. The MCA3 does boost the stereo listening pleasure of the M80's to a higher level but not everyone likes to crank it that loud.
