Hi Dannyg,

Besides the already recommended H/K 3480, the Sherwood Newcastle RX-770 stereo unit here is an excellent performer at a bargain price with a robust amplifier that will drive the 4-ohm Axiom M80s with ease.

If you have vinyl, it also has a built-in phono preamp (many others do not).

Any of the Denon AV receivers are excellent if you want to allow for future expansion to a surround system. The Outlaw stereo unit is gorgeous looking with some excellent features but it was fairly expensive.

NAD gear is nicely designed but tends to be overpriced and sometimes lacking in features.

Regards,

Alan
