Stereo reciever / integrated amp suggestions?

I am looking for a two channel reciever or integrated amp. It would be running Jbl s38 bookshelf speakers in a fairly large room. Source would be cd/sacd (considering a used Sony dvp-s9000es).

I was thinking maybe a used nad c370 or c372. What else should I be looking at?

Thanks,
mark

Thanks for all the responses. I already have 5.1 (Sony DA4ES reciever) in my den and want strictly 2 channel for the living room.

Anyone know how NAD's "BEE" series compares to their regular stuff? I see I can get a C355BEE for about the same price as a C372. The 372 is rated for more power, what is the advantage of the BEE?

NAD is fantastic, if you can deal with the looks they are tough to beat. I love my 754 receiver I bought from AA a few years ago. Quite modest with their power ratings considering it weighs 50 lbs!

You can google to read about the BEE series. Personally, I consider far above similar priced main stream products.

Actually as luck would have it my NAD C355BEE integrated amp just arrived today! I should have it set up by the weekend.

It is only 80 watts per channel but I have been told it will have plenty of power (average speakers in a large room).
