In a nutshell, the Anthem will sounds more neutral with more upper-level detail and have better room correction and is the more reliable of the two. The Marantz will sound fuller and warmer with less treble detail. Best of luck.
Marantz 7706 or Anthem MRX 740
Hi,
I would like to get some inputs on choosing between the Marantz 7706 Processor or Anthem MRX 740. First I have set the budget for a new toy at under $3K. I do have a seven-channel AMP I can use for the processor or could even use for the Anthem if I choose.
I have a 5.1.2 setup with B&W 705s as the mains and another B&W as the center channel is a B&W. It's mix-use with some two channel audio and movies.
I was going to go with the Marantz since that's what I'm used (moving from their 6011 AVR) but people keep saying that I should go with the Anthem for better processing and ARC. Note this is basically a living room with a couch and chairs.
Thanks a lot in advance!!!
