In reply to:

but have heard the quality is not what it was.




To be honest I think this is complete BS. I know a lot of people say NAD has QC issues but I have known the NAD dealer in town for here for almost 10 years and he hardly ever gets anything back.

I have owned a few NAD items the last one being a 751 or maybe it was a 752 anyway I have yet to encounter a problem with any of them. I know 2 people off the top of my head that are die hard NAD people that swear by them. I think this is a case where they may have had a few problems and it got blown out of proportion and people just won't let it go.

To be honest I think I see more people complaining about Denon stuff then I do NAD, but when it's NAD it seems to "stick" longer.
