I was speaking with one of our local establishments and learned they recently picked up NAD and dropped Cambridge. They said the reason was side by side comparisons like NAD's $800.00 HT receiver was far superior to the CA's $1,300.00 HT receiver, in both stereo and surround. They said the NAD Master series HT separates was very good, their 7 channel power amp is like 95 lbs.

I have not had hands on experience with NAD in quite some time and generally believe they have a reliability problem. Especially when they began putting out DVD. This has been quite a while as well though. So I look forward to going in and being able to re-evaluate NAD.
