Streaming Sonos - Best H/T Receiver

I have a 2004 NAD T773 flagship receiver that has performed flawlessly and has a "seperates like" amp section and very good 2-channel performance. The T773 can usually be found on the used market around $350.00 to $500.00+. I know a bit more than your budget but superb performance IMO. It is built like a tank and tips the scales at over 52 pounds.

The "lesser" T763 and T753 are just as musical but can be found closer to you budget.

Mid 2000's B&K receiver's like the AVR305, 307, 505, 507 ar all very musical and powerful and built like tanks also.

I have a Marantz SR 7000 5 channel receiver in a second system and I now use it mostly in two channel to drive Triangle Comete monitors. It had excellent reviews when new and has a solid 100 watts/channel and sounds very good. I believe the SR 8000 would be at least as musical and powerful.
