Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Which receiver HK,Denon,NAD?????

My vote goes to the Harman if you're doing strictly 5.1 movies. If you're going 6.1 or 7.1 I'd go for the Denon because it has superior processing for multichannel matrixing.

In my history with NAD...I wasn't as impressed as I was hoping I'd be because I really wanted to buy one.

I owned an H/K, my friend has owned two Denons and I've demoed NADs. That is the basis for my recommendations.

Also I've owned a Sony and Yamaha. Yammys sound kind of sterile to me, not bright, sterile. And Sony will blow up on you unless you get a higher end model. Stay away from the bottom dwellers. I had mine go in for repairs 3 times and it was a $600 model from Best Buy.

Good luck!
