Recommend you audition the NAD C740 receiver. I have had an older NAD receiver for about 8 yrs in a 2nd system and have been very satisfied with its performance. While it is not the best made or most attractive piece of gear, it offers sound quality that may surprise you, especially at its modest price.
Is there any such thing as a high end receiver?
I am putting together a system for a friend who knows nothing about electronics, has no technical skill, but is a professional acoustic musician and likes sound that is smooth and sweet above all else. I intend to find her some LS3/5a's and maybe a tube cd player and I don't want to burden her with amps, preamps, tuners, interconnects and the whole rigamerole. Therefore, my question: Anyone know of a receiver (under, say, $750 used) that sounds sweet a la e.g. a Grado cartridge or LS3/5a's? Do all receivers sound like Sony's?
