Need receiver

[nighthawk]

My sony 333ES recently died. While I thought it was a pretty good amp, i'm
pretty ticked that I only got 4 years out of it.

Looking for a good amp to match my paradigm monitor 7 fronts / titan v3
rears

Some local shops offered me these that looked pretty decent, but would like
opinions on how to best match the paradigm speakers. Choices were:

Yamaha RXV650
Denon AVR1905
Harmon Kardon AVR135
Onkyo TXSR 602

Any opinions on these or suggestion on a better receiver?
Thanks

I'd consider an NAD home theater receiver. A bunch have sold recently on
Ebay for the $300 range, though the cheapest new 5.1 (I forget the model #)
retails for $599, so probably sells close to $500. I consider even that one
as better than any of those you list.

I've heard that NAD has many bugs

I had a NAD before and had problems, so I'm staying away from them, as much
as I love the sound

Thanks for the suggestion though!

I saw a lot of positive comments on avsforum.com for the Pioneer
VSX-1014TX.

It sounded more clear to me than my NAD T761. It has 110w x 7 ch MOSFET
amp, rated at all channels driven (that is important). It also has a 5
band eq, THX certified, a 192kHz/24bit DAC. You can find it online for
$400-500. It is a great bargain. I liked its sound better than the $800
Denon and Yamahas.
