Any thoughts on the new Marantz HT separates?

I have heard many great things about the new AV 8003 - Mine is still sitting in its box waiting for me to purchase power - I opted not to get the Marantz Power - my speakers are 4 ohm, add to that long speaker wire to the rears and I believe the Marantz would cook - looking for a krell or Theta -
Google AV TALK and check out the review by uncle Eric.

I finally have the theater system up and running - I matched the Marantz AV8003 with a krell Showcase 7 - without writing a book I can say that The pre/pro is Awesome !! If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask...TONY
