Seeking good advice on electronics for my ML 's.

Hi fellow enthusiast - I currently have Martin Logan Ascents (mains), Cinema (center), NHT (surrounds). I have (lol) Sony Tae9000es proc and the matching amp Tan9000es - both of which i'm going to sell. This brings me to my Q. I was considering Sunfire, Bryston, Aragon, or Anthem as my electronics in 7 ch setup. I was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction as far as what would be a good match in electronics with my Logans. I also intend on replacing the NHTs with Martin Logan surround so all speakers will match - though undecided which model to use. Thanks for any input (no pun intended)!!

"You might get better input if you tell us what you listen to, and what you are trying to achieve."

Thanks for everyones response. I listen mostly to rock and some jazz - from the Beatles and Led Zep to Diana Krall. However, i will be using the system mostly for movies and multi-channel audio playback once i also decide on a digital player - which brings me to another Q if i may: Should i go with a HD unit that plays either blue-ray or HD DVD's, or wait until more brands are available??? Or, stick to a good DVD, sacd, DVD-A, redbook cd player, such as a Denon 5900, etc.???

I had the ascents. The Krell 2250 (and I assume their multichannl varients) worked awesome with that speaker. Ditto for my Cary SLM200 and Plinius SA250 Mk IV. I have used all of these with the ascents with great success. For home theater ( and not audiophile listening), my previous denon 4200 series home theater receiver did a decent job also (had aerius for rear and a logan center channel). Good luck.

I have SL3s in front, logos in the center and clsIIz in the rear (current setup due to space limitations). I have experimented with many amps and find those with high current, not wattage, make the difference. Any amp with 100 current per channel will work.
