I am just about ready to take the plunge (again) and upgrade my onkyo sr504 avr. i am quite happy with onkyo so i am thinking of remaining loyal and just going a few steps up.
but i have read so many comments on how it's better to have a pre-amp/power amp combo. i can get a good deal on a nad t744 avr (50 watts x 5) which i will use as a preamp, then hook it up to a t955 (100 watts 5 channels, minimum continuous power(i'm not sure what this means).
the nad pair will cost me double what i will pay for the onkyo. but as what we always say, you have to pay to play.
by the way, it will power a B&W 683, htm61, 686 system.
guys, what do you think?
