- Although the speakers make the biggest difference in the sound- after all,

- I upgraded my system from a Technics receiver to Adcom separates, and I

- dynamic range, especially noticable at higher volumes.
- Nakamichi is supposed to make very high quality stuff, but depending upon
- what you are going to use the receiver for, there are better alternatives.
- If you are going to use the receiver only for your stereo, I would suggest
- buying separates instead of a receiver. IMHO, much better sound for the
- same price.
