    Pearsal, you may have already seen it but if not, SaturdayAudio does have a used M25 in stock if you're interested. fyi, I was able to negotiate price on the last 2 pieces of eq I bought from them. they're used gear does come with warranty.

    Andy Zimmerman is pretty helpful if you want to drop him a line.

    Emotiva makes very neutrel sounding amps. www.emotiva.com.

    thats funny right there boy, wow.

    I forgot the model of the NAD I was looking at and was very impressed. They do live up to their measurements and give a nice clean sound. If I had the money I would try and do a side by side comparison of the ones you listed to get a better feel.
    I'm tempted to go NAD possibly for HT amps at some point.

    Well, if your looking for 2ch duty as well, then it's probably a very good choice. So initially you're going to use your NAD T765 as a pre/pro?

    Yes, I'm currently using the T765 for both HT & 2ch venues. I know you're not a fan of using an AVR for 2ch but I must tell you that NAD takes that part of their AVR design very seriously. I previously had a CJ tube pre & a Krell SS pre both with HT bypass & the NAD T765 more than stands up to both of them sound quality wise. It's like anything else in audio, there's good & bad from all manuf. But I believe that NAD is head & shoulders above most other AVR's when it comes to playing pure "music". They have a design philosophy of "Music First" in all their designs & it really shows.

    NAD makes a superb pre, the Masters Series M15 HD which is also on my radar. And their new M2 Integrated is really turning some heads in the audio world. It's new ground breaking design is something no other manuf. has accomplished yet. Very interesting!!
