Does anyone know of a NAD seller that might ship internationally?

Well now I have read that for around the same money, both the Arcam A19 or NAD C 356BEE might be better choices. I guess I will never reach a conclusion just by reading. Anyway, what is you opinion about them?

Ok, so I have narrowed it down to these: Marantz PM8005, Yamaha A-S1000 and Onkyo A-9070. Any comments on the pairing of any of these with the RX6's would be greatly appreciated! Vladimir, comments I have read say the PM8005 is really well built, maybe you were tlaking about other models?

So a lot has been suggested, does anyone think I could do better than with the Yamaha A S-1000 for the same money (or less)?

I know that the best would be for me to demo first, but unluckily the only demoing options I have (that I know of) are a few onkyos (TX-8030, TX-8050) and a couple of 5.1 and 7.1 Yamahas and Marantz I'm not really interested in. So it will most likely be a blind buy and that is why I appreciate...

Man you are getting me worked up on the A-S1000, it really looks like it would rock. It is a bit out of my budget though, I suppose I could make the effort if I had to, you guys really think it is worth the price premium over the A-S500? This one seems like a good buy too.

Yes! That would certainly be the best I could do. Unluckily there are not many audi stores here, and the only ones I know of have just a few onkyo stereo amps to test. There are Yamaha and Marantz models but those are 5.1 or 7.1 which I'm not really interested in. They can bring other models If...

Thanks for all the suggestions! What about th Yamaha A-S500? It is more within my budget, I would like to spend up to 600 USD or so, since my financial future is uncertain at best :roll: I would like to have at least 2 or 3 analogue imputs, and a digital one with a nice DAC but I don't really...

I'll check the availability of those just to make sure, thanks! I was under the impression that the marantz amps might be underpowered, but this is just from reading specs, I guess I'm wrong?

Hello everyone! I'm setting up a new stereo system and don't have a lot of options where I am. So far I have decided to go for the Monitor Audio RX-6, but I'm not sure of what the right amp would be. My options are the ONKYO A-9050, A-9030, TX-8050, and maybe, if I can justify it, the A-9070...
