NAD T 747 vs. Marantz SR6005


Should I expect a significant difference in sound quality between these two receivers? I can find the T 747 for a small amount more than the SR6005 brand new, but don't have a chance to audition the NAD.

Kelntash,

I'm pretty sure that your receiver went into "protection mode". Dangerous operating conditions don't trip a breaker or blow a fuse on the Marantz AVRs - they engage "protection mode" (and blink at you). That happened to mine.

Marantz tech guys explained to me that their receivers require a technician to reset them when this happens. I find it curious that they're designed that way (you'd think that there would be auto/user re-set.) Maybe there's a good technical reason, but is a PITA.
