Marantz pm8006 vs Denon PMA-1700NE for combined home theatre and music room
@kota1 I don’t care about ANOTHER review you want to cite,my point is Anthem avr’s and processors performed superior for me to Marantz etc. period. That is my perspective based on my experience. Yes the bass is a little lean after running ARC (and... 
Marantz pm8006 vs Denon PMA-1700NE for combined home theatre and music room
I agree, there is no need to spend $2799 but I will say this. I've gone though the same upgrade,room addition sceanarios and auditioned every major brand of HT in the past 20 years and for the money nothing comes close to the Anthem AVR's. If you ... 
Marantz pm8006 vs Denon PMA-1700NE for combined home theatre and music room
@alucard19 $2799 is a steal the MRX 1120 is still top notch gear. What I love about your unit (and all Anthem products) is ALL channels driven ratings lots of folks are fooled by the specs with Marantz and Denon units. Your 5 channels will blow o... 
Marantz pm8006 vs Denon PMA-1700NE for combined home theatre and music room
@cainullah +2 on considering an Anthem AVR I have the MRX series and I can attest to the the musicality of Anthem AVR's they sound much better than Marantz and Denon for music. The great thing about the MRX series is the main five channels are a/b...

@soix I've come to the same conclusion about you. All the best.  
Gustard R26
@soix No I do do not run cables from my WIRELESS streamer(s) to my mesh node (which by the way is simply a wireless router that can be daisy chained) a simple google of the Asus AiMesh would have cleared that up for you and what I'm talking about....

@soix @jjss49 Now we are name calling...A MESH system is a type WI-FI system.They are not two different protocals it is baffling how commited you are to something you obviously know nothing about.to the point of name calling. It truly amazes me h...

@soix I have used more extenders in the past than I can count some where better then others. As it turns out I have a very robust mesh wifi setup in my home; Asus RT-AX88U as the main router link to my modem and three RT-AX86U Pro's mesh chained a...

@jjss49 Nah I’d rather not move on, I’ll just hang out here and rattle your cage 😀 One would think you owned Gustard...Just here to discuss the Good the Bad and the Ugly and why one would consider a purchase or pass, again this is an open forum; ... 
Gustard R26
@jjss49 And I am discussing the Gustard r26,most reviews I’ve read state they did not test r26’s streaming capabilies because they don’t stream via lan.In fact I have not encounted much commentary regarding the streaming experince (none on this th... 
Gustard R26
@sgreg1 No offense taken,no worries. What I find odd about your best sound perspective via lan is you stated  "What is hard about plugging in a wifi extender. Run a piece of cat 6 to the R26" Ok... what is the source feeding the wifi extender? A w... 
Gustard R26
@sgreg1 I never knocked on the coax,usb,spdif nor Bluetooth connections or complained about lack of nor their function you are putting words in my mouth. “What more do I want?” A truly wireless streamer makes more sense for me if you are happy wit... 
Gustard R26
I am going to wait for the non streaming R2R Gustard that will surely release in few months after they’ve drained our pockets for the R26. I don’t want to pay for a capability I cannot easily use. I’m sorry but a “streamer” that can only be connec...
