Thanks for all of the feedback guys! My room is 18' x 25'. I was looking at the NAD T773 a while back but kind of got scared by the hissing posts I was reading. Are you saying that I should reconsider? I havent ordered the Marantz yet so I am not stuck with it by any means. I am still open to other receiver suggestions. I have about 1500.00 I can use on a receiver including tax.
