...you like the classic NAD sound (I do) and the unit is reliable. Another option is a nice '70's vintage Marantz 22xx. Both can have an earthy, slightly warm, plenty of power sound; seems to be more sonic variation in house sound between the Marantz' than the NAD's. An H/K x30 or dc series or Yamaha CRx series receiver from the same vintage are also excellent choices; the Yamaha Natural Sound series will tend to sound sonically purer than the Marantz but you might prefer the Marantz or H/K if you like the characteristic NAD warmth. All to my ears, of course; but I have owned each of the above.
