I would pick Rotel or Arcam. Don't forget B&K too. Marantz is built off Pioneer chassis. It's the same gear+ improved audio stages.
Need a new AV receiver
AV receiver will be used 100% for movies and televsion (all two channel music will be through a Plinius 9200 integrated). I was thinking Denon 3806 (reviews seem to bag on the remote), Marantz 7001 or 8001, Arcam 350, Rotel 1057, Pioneer Elite VSX-84 and 82. Any preferences, or other ones I should be thinking about?
