| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 DaveYou're probably right on. I'm slowed a bit more than most with ancilliary challenges.I got the radio to work last night and I'm quite pleased with the initial results in fact. I'm not doing the Auto setup until my rear speakers show up later t... | |
| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 Update:First thoughts ONKYO TX SR805... I should have purchased an extended warranty. The OEM warranty will LIKELY expire before I figure out how to turn it on, and surely by the time I finish reading the owners manual.One day everything will have... | |

| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 Sogood51"Those sellers can only hope for buyers that don't research much."Is there such a being currently using a personal confuser and buying upper end gear? | |
| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 Wireless200 Thank you for your thoughts. Yes a direct connection is possible and I've done that in the past... though via that path lip sync issues arise sometimes.Another concern is on the audio side, naturally. In the HD/BLUE ray discs, and like... | |

| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 Sogood51 Thanks much.... What you did is about what I'll be doing too... but different speakers & sub. | |

| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 Pdn Thanks for the timely and thoughtful reply.yes, both receivers are previous models. Accordingly both are quite well discounted. The Marantz is the more costly of the two.the power thing I don't suspect as an issue being as both are over 100wpc... | |
