KF,
I would send you my main rig but I think I misplaced my Oracle turntable box and I can't lift the ML Quest Z's alone. Dammit!
Howie, I'd rate the NAD amp as slightly better than average and a good value; like any HT receiver the inputs/outputs on the back of the thing is mind-boggling. Takes several beers and some patience just to get everything plugged in in the proper place. I'm not a believer in mixing HT and two-channel, I think the two applications are really trying to achieve different goals so this system is stand-alone HT. I've tried some CD's out of curiousity and was less than enthused, but then again that may have as much to do with the DVD player as a source and/or the speakers. As a HT receiver the NAD is just fine, plenty of juice for the all-important car crashes and such and it is very flexible. I do recommend you buy it from a dealer (I lost the left channel on it and had to have it repaired under warranty).
