Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater NAD 762 or HK 525?

After 3 months in the work bench, my dealer gave up on my NAD T61 and is now offering a T762 as a replacement with their apologies. I really liked the detailed-yet-not-harsh sound of the NAD T761 but the center and rear left channel disappeared when I set them all to "LARGE" and
subwoofer "OFF". This happened, thank God, within the 2 yr warranty.

My question: Is it wise to give NAD a second chance with T762 or opt for the HK AVR525 instead? I'm aware that the AVR525 is cheaper than the T762 but is AVR525 reliable? Which is a better match to the somewhat bright M22 speakers?

My listening habit is 80% music and 20% movies. This is my setup:
Axiom M22Ti fronts
Axiom VP150 center
Rad Shack LX5 surrounds
Velodyne CT100 sub
Aperion Audio 8" musical sub
Toshiba SD3750 DVD player using the Coax output
Monster M1000D silver digital coax cable
generic 14 gauge speaker cables

Thanks for insights.
