Waferman, I still have my NAD 7240PE receiver which has got to now be about 20 years old. Still sounds terrific. I had driven 4 speakers (A&B) from this unit at times and it handled the load very well. This is a remarkable receiver with a great deal of reserve power. I wish it would crap out so I have an excuse to replace it !!

Would you be interested by the way in purchasing my existing NAD C541 CD Player? I have 3 CD players now and I really no longer need this one. It can play HDCD's but it doesn't do well with CD-R's just so you know. It's 7 years old. Good idea in moving away from your old Kenwood components and moving to preowned NAD equipment. NAD stuff seems to last forever !!
