Anthem if you can afford it, Marantz if you can't. Personally, I think Marantz has been doing a great job for the last few years in both the mid-price and higher end spaces. My only issue: I get the 'porthole' styling as a nod to earlier - wayyy earlier - models, but there are better styling cues.
A/V Receiver Recommendation for a newby.
Hi folks. I'll be the first to admit I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to home theater systems. I know the basics . I recently bought a pair of Bowers and Wilkins 702 s2 speakers along with the htm 71 s2 center channel. I have a pair of PSB GB1 book shelf for the rear speakers. I currently have an Onkyo TX-NR676 a/v receiver. I've been told by multiple people that this receiver isn't powerful enough to drive the B&W speakers and am looking to upgrade. I do have a limited budget after shelling out $6000 in speakers. I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Onkyo TX NR 797 or Denon avr 2600h or recommendations My max budget is $1000.
Thanks in advance.
