Hi.
If my Rotel 1056 doesn't come back fixed (which I hope it does), I have chose the following in my price range to consider (Rotel included for comparison).
I was quite surprised to see quite a difference in weight.
NAD T753 $1500 CAD 90 w/ch 6.1 ch - weighs 45.1 lbs.
Rotel 1056 $1999 CAD 75 w/ch 5.1 ch - 37.4 lbs.
Denon 3805 $1920 CAD 120 w/ch 7.1 ch - weighs 37.5 lbs.
Marantz 8500 $1800 CAD 125 w/ch 7.1 ch - 33.1 lbs.
There is a significant difference between the Marantz at 33.1 lbs. and the NAD at 45.1 lbs.
If price was taken into consideration, that makes the NAD even more of a buy if weight is taken into a consideration.
Does anyone see what is included or missing in these receivers that I should be worried about, since a lot of us "audio enthusiast" equate weight with quality?
Better transformer, power supply, copper shielding, fans instead of larger heat shields, ?????
Any comments are appreciated.
I gave the links so that you could maybe point out something of value that adds to the weight of the component, or something that actually is heavier, but not as technically proficient as a lighter component.
Thanks!
