It is really nice. No regrets and no problems, yet. I did my usual rigorous market research which consisted of asking the person next to me what was good. Although I have not had any problems yet I am concerned that some will develop in the future. Before I bought mine there was some bad mouthing of NAD reliablity on the net (which I ignored). Also just recently a Tweeter store in Rhode Island stopped carrying the NAD line because too many people were returning stuff. Does anyone know if all Tweeter stores have done the same? I also bought a pair of Bose 601 speakers. These are wonderful speakers. I bought these toys at Tweeter. I do not know if they are available from discount houses. I believe that Tweeter will treat me well if the NAD becomes a lemon. Price: NAD 7140 $450 Bose 601 $750 Monster Cable 20ft $20 NAD 7140 AM/FM receiver with 40 watts/channel has inputs for a CD player has a great FM tuner look nice, no flashing lights all the reviews that I read had only good things to say Bose 601 Speakers that reflect part of the sound off the walls Don't listen to them if you can't afford the price ( I have been eating a lot of peanut butter sandwichs ) Very realistic sound.
