I Demo’d the 7013 and the Yamaha 3080 (same model that our moving company “lost” in our recent move to TN) and the Marantz is much more musical with a better soundstage and depth compared to the 7013. I ended up getting the 8012 because I plan on building a media room downstairs and expanding to utilize all 11 channels with Atmos. The 8012 is a step up from the 7013 and can be had for right at $2500. For theater, even with my current 5.1 system the experience is quite immersive. Although they had some Arcam and Rotel stuff there, my decision was based on some key features and streaming abilities.
Time for a new a/v receiver could use some input!
I have an Arcam avr400 which is HDMI 1.4 and need a HDMI 2.0 4K receiver.
I'm using a 5.1 set up, so I looked at Arcam but I'm not happy with problems of handshake
So I decided to get another brand.
I'm down to either the Anthem MRX720 or the Marantz SR7013
just want to stay around $2,500 its 5.1 but I like the power the Arcam has.
Not sure if they are equal in power ratings but I think they are both powerful enough.
The Marantz has all the gadgets you can think of, but I'm looking for good sound,
and a lot of people say that the Anthem sounds better, any thoughts?
Thank you
