NAD with LSI speakers

Options
I have an opportunity to buy a NAD T 748 receiver.

I want to use it to drive a LSIC (center) and to LSIfx speakers (rear surround), but have separate amplification to power the front towers.

Can NAD receivers handle the Lsi line?

    Yup. No problem.

    I'm going to be the lone dissenting voice here. Not because the Nad doesn't have the power to run those speakers, but because I think Nad has a more laid back sound and the LSI's are also a more laid back sound. You might lose a bit of dynamics for those said speakers and in those positions. I would choose Nad for more forward sounding speakers like the RTI line.

    Just my .02, I believe a Pioneer SC series or Yamaha Avantage line may be a better match up, sound wise, for the LSI line.

    Thanks for the replies..

    I picked up a NAD and will power the fronts with a ML amp.

    really looking forward to having a modern AVR.
