What receiver to use with Gallo Micros?

[jon smith]

I've got a full set of gallo micros, with 2 BK Gemini's on the way.

What receiver would you recommend to match the Gallos.

I've been using a Denon 3805 over the past couple of months (but after years listening to Pioneer amps i'm struggling to get used to the Denon sound).

Happy to go 2nd hand and don't want to spend over a grand if I can help it.

Would any of the following be an improvement on the Denon:

Arcam AR300
Sony 7100ES
Pioneer AX5ai

I use a small NAD L53 (dvd-receiver) to drive two of them as a small stereo system. Also the local Gallo importer tend to use NAD receivers on demos and shows. Perhaps you could consider the nad t763 I guess.

As a side note I also use a 3805 on the main system, driving kefs.
