Re: best all around receiver? (kinda long and rambling)

If I've learned anything from hanging around here it's this.You'll never get an agreement on "best" .Another is matching speaker to receiver.For example I matched an HK-930(a very nice receiver) to stacked Advents,Advents-A-25, etc. and didn't like the sound(bloated bass).Same stacked Advents with Sansui 3000a or 5000x sounded excellent.Now, I have the HK-930 with Dahlquist DQM-9 Compacts alone and the sound is magical, a truly great match.I hear the HK-430 is great too.
I have a Rotel RCD-850 that plays CD's very analog like and still works reliably.But I'd have to say more than half the CD players I've picked up at thrift stores break in short order.I'd probably do better at Costco or something like that ,for less than $100.
