    Price?It's of late 80's Vintage with 55 watts per ch .Decent amp but long in the tooth and may need a reburb.

    If it's in working order and in good cosmetic shape $100 seems fair.

    I just spend my first couple hours with my NAD T175HD and so far I concur with that statement. I knew I would have a hard time deciding between the NAD and Anthem, and I was right. The NAD offers a warmer and more relaxed listening sound and at the moment is my favorite for stereo use. However, the Anthem seems to offer more dynamics with movies in its own way. As I mentioned before, during action that pans the screen, the Anthem nails it. I really feel the gunfire as it strafes across the screen and the sound of the explosion or rounds fired slightly to the left or right versus dead on are completely different and distinct. The NAD doesn't get it that right, but at the same time it offers a more palpable surround sound, I feel more enveloped by the sound with the NAD.

    On another note, at least I finally was able to see DTS-HD and PCM go head to head. I honestly couldn't say there was a dramatic difference, but it may have been a contributing factor to the more intense sensation of being surrounded by sound by the NAD. Overall, I would say that I would be fine with PCM multi-channel and saving a few grand over the latest variant of some of the processors out there.
