My Dad had a Yamaha CR-220 receiver paired with the Advents I have now back in the late '70s and it sounded wonderful.

I had actually been looking for NAD stuff on my local craigslist, but didn't know what was good or bad...

Thanks for the suggestions!
I recently sold an NAD 7240PE receiver for $80. Sweet piece but I just didn't use it any more. Mine was from the late 80's. Look for a used NAD receiver and you likely can get a killer deal. Many clean ones out there that have been put in the closet, replaced by A/V units.
