I almost pulled the trigger on a 6003 but the 3 HDMI inputs have been killing me. Plus, I want Bluetooth...

Great to see the *004 line coming out. Marantz always seems a little slow, but they have the Dolby Pro Logic IIz and I am shocked frankly. An even bigger bonus is the Bluetooth ability that is added. Using an Iphone or Bluetooth phone to stream music is a cool idea and very convenient (If you store your music at a high sample rate). Great for them and future *004 owners. 4 HDMI inputs is plenty.

2 HDMI outputs is a nice surprise!
At first glance this thing looks impressive,
when is it suppose to start shipping?

Looks like they also kept the old staff that wrote their previous owner's guides - which is not a good thing! Here's an excerpt from the "English" owner's manual, p 35: "This menu if for setting surround effect parameters for the various surround input signals so as to bring out the live audio effect of your speaker system."
If anybody knows what the translation is for that, let me know!

I've been in contact with people who are in contact with Marantz and they all say that the sr7004 is coming later this year. I have an sr7400 and almost bought an sr6003, but black ones are hard to find these days so I'll wait for the sr6004. It has more nice features and I really want the extra hdmi and component ports. I also heard something about streaming music through ethernet.
s44: what do you mean by can't decode and run Audyssey simultaneously?
Oh and by the way, the sr6004 should be in stores by the end of the month.

Wow I didn't knew that this receiver has in-built bluetooth, that's a great feature...
About this model
The upside:
2+4 analogue digital inputs
USB
7.1 analogue inputs
7.1 pre-out
2 HDMI output
LCD Learning remote!!
Bluetooth receiver
AC Outlets inputs
The downside:
No HDMI-CEC
No RJ45 port
(to confirm) Only upconversion 1080p/60hz via HDMI (no 1080p/24hz)
Only upgradable via RS-232C
If the 7004 comes with the 4 downside things that I indicated, I'm on it...
I also have a Marantz SR7400, I love this brand

but the 6004 also does Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume - doesn't this suggest different/additional processing capacity compared to the 03?

Well, since I started this thread, thought I'd provide an update and ask for some input.
I'd been holding out for the the release of the 5004/6004 to see whether or not I really wanted the extra features over the 6003. Well, with the price-drops in the last couple days on the 6003, including Crutchfield today to $799 (free shipping/no tax outside of VA) lured me in, so I pulled the trigger on the 6003.
Anyone out there desperately wish they had the Dynamic Volume and Dynamic EQ features? The extra 10 watts doesn't say much to me, particularly since the specs say the 6004 is actually lighter than the 6003. 'Splain that one to me?
I was honestly considering going with the 5004 in place of the 6003, and possibly adding an Emotiva UPA-2 if I felt like I needed more power. But, pulled the trigger on the 6003 cause felt like it's been so well received and couldn't pass up such a good deal.
Anyone else out there with the same dilemma? Or anyone want to reinforce that I made the right choice?
