Looking for processor recomendations

I would be happy to have a Cary 11a, used. I believe they can be upgraded to hdmi 1.4? In doing some basic research another model that pops up is the Marantz 7005...I see it is loaded with features, how is the sound quality?

Any other recomendations?

Stretch your budget a bit and get a used Anthem D2. Can be had for around $2200. Does music and movies very well.

Thanks for the responses...
Mcroth, can the D2 be upgraded to support hdmi 1.4 and 3D picture? I guess can it be made into a D2v? If so, any idea of the upgrade price?

The Anthem D2 does not support 1.4 or 3D. If you have a D2 and want to upgrade you send the unit back to Anthem and they send you a new D2v for around $3500. These processors are full featured and have a ton of set up options. Do not hesitate to call Anthem as the customer service is second to none. Good luck!

Do consider that if you just buy the Marantz new, you're done and up to date (for what THAT'S worth). Life is short. I've regularly seen 30+ % discounts online for the more desireable Marantz pieces, which might just end up looking pretty good $-wise vs. used, particularly if you really think through a projected resale scenario for down the road. Consistently reported to sound "warm", "musical", and simply pleasing for long term comfort, the better Marantz models do seem to have a place in a home which also contains gear with more inflated ambitions. Maybe that's all you really need for this application.
