Extra Info:

I bought these brand new about 3 years ago and have been using them quite often since. Original price was just over $4k the pair. The sound is truly amazing and I have put these side by side with the following integrated receivers with my Tannoy surround config for direct comparison: Denon AVR-X3100, Integra DTR 50.3, Onkyo TX-NR676E and the NuForce wins for me every time.

 

The downside to this setup is that it will not pass through 4k HDMI as its only 1.4a and not 2.0 and doesn't support the latest ATMOS or DTS-X formats. For True-HD and Master Audio 1080p it's amazing. What I did for a while is run the audio return from TV back to processor for sound only then I could have 4k source directly to TV and the awesome sound through the NuForce processor... but I have just about finished my house renovation and have an ATMOS system in place so am upgrading to an NAD M17 v2 + M27 combo....quite pricey so need some funds!

 

The DAC on the AVP-18 is awesome for stereo aswell - if you want a home cinema and 2 channel digital solution in a compact, classy design (they are both 1RU each) then look no further.
