i second what he said. i just bought the t751, which is the newer imroved version of the t760 and it is wonderful. music is just fantastic. dont pay attention to the lower power rating, its just as powerful as anyhting else and sounds better than anything at this price point (around 750 us.) if music is important to you, you just cant go wrong with this receiver.

There's a review of the T761 at AR, about 2/3's of the way down, submitted by: David , from Wallingford, CT. USAHe's an NAD dealer and in his post he discusses the differences between the T761 and the T760.
I've never heard talk of any sonic differences between the T-751 and T-760, but I've never listened to a 760. AFAIK, they're equivalent except for two things. One is the menu changes.
The other is far more significant if you have a turntable or high quality CD player. The newer NAD's allow true analog bypass in stereo mode. AFAIK, very few receivers do at this price point. Most use a digital volume control, so they route all signals thru the ADC.
The Arcam also offers this feature.

i am not sure of all of the problems with the older model but i do know of one. apparently you could not use the sub in 2 channel playback on the old model unless you were using the analog input, on my unit the sub works on all sources. this is obviously good if you are using bookshelfs and need more "oomph"
