Hifi blew up - chance for new AV amp? Suggestions please :)

[RichL]

Cool

I'm thinking of getting a Nakamichi AV10 to replace my Rotel RA820bx as both AV/Hi-Fi amp (pending a back to back listening test) and possibly replacing my Castle Trent speakers with either Mission 773e's & a seperate Sub or Mission 704a's with built in 120w subs. They're both the same price from Richer Sounds, although with the 773's I'd have to buy a Sub also.

Space considerations mean the 704s would be better, but the reviews I've read rate the 773's very highly and the 704s as not being quite so good.

Cheers Maggi, but I already tried there : they dont list the reveiws as such on their site.

I've been using Audio Review recently, although it does tend to be biased towards US Spec products and have an annoying number of people who spend $000's on equipment and post reviews like "This Rox! 5*'s!!!"

true, but whatever shows up in that list, is worth its money ...
