New VS Modern Networking Preamplifiers
Is the MARANTZ AV8003 Networking Preamplifier worth buying???
Has any one "heard" this unit before?
Trying to get a good Networking Preamplifier 5 channel unit with out rebuying the same technology ALL OVER AGAIN BEFORE it has completely (CYCLED YET) arrived yet!
Thanks for your words of wisdom ~

I own the Marantz AV8003. Had it for several years now. It is excellent as a processor. I've never used it for any of the other stuff that it does. I have a separate preamp for my 2-channel music. I've never really had any use or need for any of the other bells and whistles that the unit has. I use it only as a processor for movies.

The Marantz units have gotten very favorable reviews, especially at their price point. In your chain of products, the preamp/receiver is the among the first that will be obsolete due to the change of pace in tech. It really all depends on what you want to accomplish.
