Hello Everyone - I'm a new member looking for some guidance. Quick Version: Anthem MXR 710 vs Marantz SR7008 (AVR) with a Marantz MM7025 (Stereo Power Amp)? I'm looking to create a new surround sound setup but one that really focuses on creating the best 2.1 channel listening experience for...

Hi all, I'm new and I wanted to get some reccomendations on my first hifi home cinema build. I was thinking of: - 5.1 system (not sure which speakers yet) - Marantz SR5009 / SR7008 amplifier & amplifier Room is about 40 square meters. Wifi/bluetooth aren't needed since I have an ethernet...

I'm trying to decide between these two receivers. I have decided not to do separates due to space constraints. The denon seems to have the better bells and whistles as well as as 32 bit dac and more powerful 150W amps but I've heard that the house sound of the marantz tends to be better...

I'm finishing building a home theater and am starting to listen to speakers. I currently like the CM10's and the Revel F208's. (I can buy the F208's used for $3500). That said, my ears slightly preferred the low and mids on the CM10's, but the bass is amazing on the F208. I found my...

I am new to the game and recently purchased a SR5008 and was wondering if it would be enough to power a 7.1 set of Silver 6 Monitor Audio speakers. I heard the RX8 with a NAD and I thought the sound was good, but I have heard Monitor Audio's can be difficult to drive and can be picky with...

I am upgrading my L/R/C to Def Tech 8040s and want a new amp to power them. Currently I have a h/k 3550hd which is a little underpowered and lacking HDMI 1.4. Would you advise me to get the Marantz 7008 or go the used separates route with the Marantz 8077 and 7701 combo? I found a used...

Question for you all. Taking XT32 out of the equation, is there any advantage either way between these 2 options, knowing I can add an amp to the 7008 later if I choose? Marantz SR7008 ($2000) or Marantz AV7701 with MM7055 ($2600) Looking to pull the trigger this week.

Hello all, I could use some help. I was set on getting the new B&W 683s with the Marantz 7007, but now I'm conflicted. I have spent hours upon hours listening to speaker and receiver combos and I thought I had my mind made up but here's the dilemma; from my understanding the 683s are the most...

 So I've been considering upgrading from my current Marantz SR6008 to an AV7701 Pre/Pro and MM7025 2-Channel amp before purchasing a pair of MartinLogan ESLs to replace my current Polks, as I know 'Stats are a bit nit-picky about power. I was just about convinced to go ahead and make the bump...

So my B&K Reference 70 finally died and so did the company. B&K reminds me of another company who stated they were in it for the long term, upgradeable boards, trade in programs, and yes, Made in the USA. well, I bought into it and regret it. I don't care if it is made in the US or not, I just...

Has anyone done a comparison of the Denon x4000 vs. the Marantz 7008? What I value: Sound, primarily surround sound for movies. Audyssey XT32, Video switching.. I want to run everything thru the receiver.. how good the video processing is matters to me, 3D passthru, latest codecs, 7.2 setup...

 All three are within the amount I can spend but I also don’t want to pay for things I don’t need.   4520ci vs SR7008 vs X4000 with an Emotiva XPA-3 to run the F/R/C   My main concern with these receivers is which one will have (if any) the most noticeable best sound quality when listening...

 So I just bought a new house, and the basement has a very nice dedicated home theater room with 8 movie style reclining chairs, projection set up, etc.  However old owner completely gutted the room except for the screen.  I think he had Atlantic Technology stuff in there before from pictures...

After an eternity struggling with Marantz, I finally talked them out of sending me refurbished units to replace my oft-detonating SR 7005, and supply me with a new SR 7008. I have a big, big live room (over 5000 cubic feet), and I was hoping that the XT32 would help me tame it a bit. But...

I have a Yamaha RX-Z1 running a 5.1 system with NHT Evolution speakers. Yamaha volume control malfunctioning. Considering replacing the Yamaha with something like a Marantz 7008 or Yamaha 3030 or getting a new pre amp like a Marantz 8801 or Yamaha CXA 5000 and using the old RX-z1 as an...

 I currently am in the process of purchasing a marantz 7008 receiver and Polk audio rti-a9's and Polk audio CSi a6 Polk Audio FXi a6 Surround. My question is will the receiver be enough to power these guys to there highest potential or will I need a power amplifier. and if so what will do the...

Hey all, need some help as I'm experiencing a rather annoying video issue with my SR7008. After I returned home from vacation, I powered up my receiver to watch TV but noticed there are all kinds of vertical and horizontal green dots across the entire screen. I tried switching inputs and is...

Hey guys... This may or may not have been discussed on here, but I can't find any threads. I just bought a Marantz SR7008 with Audyssey XT32, and I was wondering if anyone knows if it would be an improvement if I ran my Velodyne sms-1 over it, or not. Is the XT32 superior to the Velodyne EQ...
