NAD C352 vs Cambridge Audio Azur 640A vs Marantz PM7200 to go with a pair of Polk RT1000i.

All are about equal in price. Which would you get?

I like the Marantz sound the best of your choices.

It's not for me guys. My wife's brother in law is trying to build his first serious rig. They already have a couple of cheap HTIB units. I'm going to let him use my pair of RT1000i.

It will be set up in the sitting area of their bedroom, so it will be in a small area, but yet open up to a bigger area. I think the RT1000i will be adequate for that.

The amp load will be relatively easy since the RT1000i is a powered tower and it will only have to drive a 1' tweeter and a 6.5" mid with a 90 DB efficiency rating crossed over at 80 HZ.

I'm familer with NAD and even CA, but that Marantz looks interesting except that it does not have a torroidal transformer and the other 2 do.
