Marantz SR7005 OR Pioneer ELite SC-35


Hello,
I'm putting together a surround sound system and was wondering if anyone using either of the AVR's in my title would care to comment on them. I'm considering a purchase of one or the other and I'm thinking that between them its a "flip a coin" type of a decision. The PE uses Class-D amps; Marantz has a good rep for audio. Both have multi-year warranties, both are in the same price range.

All comments are appreciated..

Thank You

I have a Pioneer Elite 25. Upgraded from a Denon 3805. I'm very happy with the PE 25. It was much easier than the new Denons to set up. I have some ventilation issues so the D class amp helped. It sounds great to me, I know it's not really high end, but will do untill (if ever) I can afford the really high end stuff
