Surround Receiver For Zu Druid ?


Hi, first post so be gentle :)

I've got a full surroundsystem with the Zu Druids and I was hoping someone here got any idea what would be a good pre/pro or receiver for this system?

This is obviously a compromise in the music department, and a expensive 2 channel tube amp wouldn't be practical enough for me, but I would like the receiver to sound good in stereo, what brands do people use with Zu? or Is It just me who got the Druids for a 5.1 system?

I just bought a Onkyo 906. I'm used to using top products, and even I found it very enjoyable. 2 channel isn't as good as Ive heard, but still very good. And as far as home theater- good as it gets! All the latest HD formats, and a nice 1080p up conversion makes this a real bargain at $1300 new. I looked at the denon and yamaha receivers and this crushed both, other then there current flagships, which are much much more.

Believe me, the compromise isnt near as much as some audiophiles will have you believe. Receivers have come along way. Unless you own the latest seperates, Id actually prefer this receiver over all.

And a cool feature is the bridge and bi amp modes to the front channel! 280 rms watts!
thanks for the good advice! I'll have to check that Onkyo out. Do you use Onkyo with Zu? so you actually know its a good match soundwise?

I get good prices on Denon, Marantz and Onkyo, So I guess I'm considering buying one of these flagships, like Denon AVC A1HD.. I can't se that Onkyo have a flagship?

I also get good prices on Parasound and Nad, so I'm considering the new Nad M15 HD Pre in combination with either parasond A52 or the Nad M25.

But It all depends on how got they sound i stereo.
