 I really don't know which route to go. I could go with the NAD for cost. I liked the NAD's but always found them a tad "dry" sounding. And then there is the risky quality control issues I am even more familiar with
BUt I have never heard any of the newer Marantz's. And at twice the price I'm not sure I'm getting twice the value.

My use is purely low level classical listening. No loud stuff. Just easy classical with DIY 3 way speakers.

 Do yourself a favor and order the Outlaw 2150RR for a 30 day trial it trounced the NAD I compared it to and is built like a tank and you get a great phone section and FM tuner. Its the best intergrated I ever owned and no quality issues..

 Bold Eagle over at vintage has had the 325BEE and 352 models for some time with nary a problem. My T763 receiver has been problem free for six years.
