My comments about many are in my MITR column at stereophile.com. I suggest you look at Marantz, NAD and Anthem in the medium price range and Trinnov, Storm and Bryston as a step above.

Bryston PrePro totally different league, but the price tag shows you that. And if you want room correction you're in the 5-figure range.
Are you two referring to what Marantz calls their "AV Separates"? As in, the AVXXXX and the MMXXXX equipment?

If so, would you mind telling me the difference(s) between AV and MM?
