Thanks so much for your input Schubert. Much appreciated. To substantiate what you're saying, there seem to be youtube videos highlighting CA receiver problems too.
Marantz SR5008 vs Cambridge Audio AZUR 650R
Hi...I just purchased a pair of Anthony Gallo reference 3.5's. I also purchased a Reference 3 SA amp to drive the 3.5's. In addition, I purchased the TR-1 sub and strada 2 centers and rear speakers. I am in a fix between the Marantz SR5008 (more bells and whistles, more modern) versus the older Cambridge Audio AZUR 650R. Any thoughts about what I ought to go in for would be much appreciated.
