Oj, just keep in mind an important fact about Marantz AVRs. While you can't go wrong with a Marantz product and I've had a number of Marantz u irs (still have two players), don't be fooled by their power/ch rating. If you look closely at this model for example, it states 125/w/ch 20hz-20khz but that's rated at TWO channels driven not all channels driven. I wish Marantz would stop doing that. Rotel and NAD do NOT follow this practice. They rate their power ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN which is a far more honest specification. I was told by Marantz a few years ago that the power rating for all channels driven is about 70% of the two channel spec. So just something to be aware.
Is the marantz SR7007 a good receiver?
