Marantz is a 2-dimensional brand. I sold it for many years. I would go for a Onkyo PR-SC5509 witht a Primare poweramp. It will give you a deep and wide and 3d sound. Wenn you go for Audyssey Pro you will hit the jackpot.....
Amp and pre-amp
I have about $5,000 to spend On an amp and a pre-amp
50% home theater
50% music. It's more important that the music sounds great rather than the thx if I have to sacrifice. I listen to both soft and classic rock
I haven't been in the market for about 9 years and it seems a bit confusing to me ( I'm to old and tired to re-learn )
I have
Snell XA-60 towers
Snell XA-55 center
Snell SR30 surround
McIntosh PS112 sub
The new room is big 17' X 26'
I moved and sold my
MX 134
MC 126. Seemed to have a very difficult time driving the Snells when I get drunk and turn up the volume
