I presently have an HK AVR receiver and like so many people, I find it
adequate for home theater but not for stereo audio. I have Mission 752's
and Audioquest biwire Slate hooked in, and I'm disappointed with the sound
on the HK for stereo music -- rather thin.

Upgrading to a new NAD home theater receiver is not practical at this time
(and I'm rather alarmed at some of the failure reports of these anyway). I
was thinking of picking up an older NAD power amp on Ebay, something in the
60 or even 100 watt per channel area, and running the front channels through
it. (The AVR has preamp outs for all channels.) Does anyone think I might
gain an improvement in the sound for 2-channel stereo music listening? Or
is the problem not only the power but also the preamp part of the HK?
