I currently have an NAD T762 receiver that I am very happy with. Said receiver powers a complete set of 5 Magnepan MMG speakers (MMG L/F, MMG-C center, MMG W for rears).
The above will be set up in a new HT room being built in the basement. The room was designed by Rives Audio for the Maggies, and will have all of the accoustical treatments you would expect. The NAD and MMG L/R have been played with and sound great, but the entire set up has not been connected yet.
Once the room is operational, I expect that I will need to upgrade the MMG L/R due to the size of the room. If I do this, I will likely jump to the 3.6 model, which may be too much for my NAD receiver. Thus, I am thinking of using the NAD to drive the rears, and as a pre-amp for the fronts. Many maggie owners are raving about Odyssey Amps. What say you, would the HT3 be an good addition to the above? If I order now, I just might get it in time.
Thanks, John
