Crap GadgetsWe wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.
Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

There's a simple solutionGet an integrated or pre-power amp that has a bypass AV input (this bypasses the volume control on this input only). Then plug the left and right front channels from the av processor into that. Then you'll have an uncompromised stereo system with surround added on when required. ARCAM and Cyrus (Cyrus needs a three finger salute on power up) have this feature, along with others. Cyrus are good musical sounding products. Not as warm and cuddly as your NAD, but once you're used to it, much more rewarding.
There's a good chance NAD seeded the design with their amplifier circuits. However the devil is in the details.
