    What Setup do you have with your 805?

    What type of system are yours in? Which model do you have, and what power's them?

    B&W Nautilus 805
    Powered by Sony 777ES
    Yamaha P850 Turntable, Shure Cartridge
    XBOX 360
    Blue Jeans Cable Internconnects

    -I am looking to replace the Sony soon as that and the XBOX are my weakpoint, but it is connected digitally and I dont listen to enough CD's to make it worth the upgrade.

                                Looks like you like the Marantz sound. Have you heard the Mc already and like it better?

                                    Well, I've only had two Marantz. I bought the SR7002 because I wanted a receiver only to begin with (sold everything when I moved). I did not try out the McIntosh yet. I was suppose to last two weekends, but things came up. Hopefully I will have time to test Nuforce and McIntosh this Sunday.
