  1. The Rotel 1056 has no headphone plug. It is a pretty nice machine, but, If I were going to spend that much money on a receiver, why should I have to spend extra for an adapter for the receiver just so I could use headphones with it. I almost bought the 1056 myself until I checked out the SR7500 which has as good a sound as the Rotel 1056 plus it has a headphone plug and the sound through the headphones is awesome.

The sound though with the Klipsch speakers is incredible. I auditioned several receiver and speaker brands, but I think this is a great match. The only other review I found for the SR7500 was at: http://www.hometheaterblog.com/hometheater/2004/11/marantz_sr7500.html Also, Audioholics.com is supposed to review some of the new Marantz receivers at some point. ---------------- Read the review at hometheaterblog and really enjoyed everything that was written. Thanks for the info.

Mine gets warm as most receivers do, but I would not say it gets hot. ---------------- Hey schouse 13, how are you enjoying your SR7500, I am really enjoying mine but have not found many reviews on it other than the one I wrote a couple of months ago. I'm always interested in hearing whether or not someone else has the same views on the sr7500 as I do.
  4. Try the Marantz sr7500, I've had mine now for about three months and am very pleased with the results (an awesome machine), especially with my music. It works well with my Klipsch Reference Speakers.
  5. Man, that is a nice set. I'll bet you have been watching more TV than the law allows ever since you received it. Are you pretty impressed with the picture quality that HD brings to the table? I am working on my finances right now, my plans are to purchase my TV before the end of the year, since seeing your new jewel, you have made it very difficult for me to wait.
  6. Well Steve, we only have one more day before the BIG EVENT, I am almost as excited as you are. Make sure that you have your digtal camera ready as soon as your new tv is set up. Congradulations
  7. I own a pair of ss1 surround speakers that I use for my rears and am very pleased with their performance.
  8. Here's a vote for the marantz sr7500, at least put it to the test at whatever dealer is carrying it in your area. I promise that it will cause you to want to reconsider your options.
  9. I am considering the Tripp Lite - HT1010sat3, which has 10 outlets, 3345 Joule rating, 3-line coaxial (gold) surge protector and $250,000 lifetime warranty. The cost for this item is $56.00.
  10. Hello Dr.Bill Right now I have been blessed to not have had any power surge problems that affected my equipment, however, there is quite a bit of construction going on around my neighborhood that sometimes will cause the power to abruptley go out. I also know some people who have had their equipment destroyed due to lightning strikes. I just wanted to add some kind of affective protection to my equipment.
  11. I am in the market for a good surge protector, guaranteed to offer my equipment the best protection possible. Can anyone offer some suggestions? Thanks
  12. I have owned the kenwood sw300 powered subwoofer for over 6 years, to me it still sounds pretty good. Is anybody familiar with this subwoofer and would it make sense to upgrade to an up to date powered subwoofer?
  13. I disagree that the ss1's are the bottom of the barrel speakers,I own a set and am pretty pleased with them. However, If I were you I would take a look at the rb35's. As soon as I can recover from my new receiver purchase (Marantz sr7500) I plan on upgrading to the rb35's. GG

Comfortable seating, great sound, eye popping PQ. Unfortunatly, they also come with rude people who won't stop talking, cell phones ringing every few minuits, teenagers horsing around, babies crying, etc etc etc. Be it ever so humble, THERE"S NO PLACE LIKE HOME when it comes to theater IMHO. Jerry Rappaport ---------------- Amen on that. I have been spoiled by the convenience of sitting at home in my easy chair without having to worry about someone passing over me to go to the bathroom or by some jerk making comments just to get a few laughs. I have learned to appreciate the sound and picture quality that I have invested so much into.
  16. I also use the ss1's. I use mine as my rears mounted at least 8ft from the floor to the ceiling (in the corners) and they sound just fine.

I tried at one juncture to contact Marantz (America) directly for some customer support and could not find anyway to do so. I never did define a contact pathway for this company. Anyone else have a similar experience or know how to reach Marantz customer service??? ---------------- Here is a number I got from Marantz.com I hope that it helps. (630 741-0300)
  18. Thanks a lot Guys, I learn something new from you guys everyday which is why I love this forum. To answer your question Fauzi about whether or not there is a back light on the remote? Yes there is,in fact there are two buttons at the bottom ends of the remote that when pushed will light up all your features on the remote. I forgot to mention in my review that the headphone surround feature on the receiver is absolutely awesome. I couldn't believe that I was actually listening through my old headphones.
  19. Well I have had enough time to learn my new Marantz 7500 and am really impressed with the power that this receiver has. I enjoy listening to my CD's in the Stereo mode and the sr7500 does not lack for accuracy in this mode. My Klipsch R3 front speakers have never sounded so good. There is also a Pro Logic Surround Music mode that is pretty neat as well if that is your preference. This receiver has very clean sound as well as an awesome appearance.In fact when I first saw the receiver at my dealer,without knowing what it was, I asked the salesman what was the name of that monster receiver sitting on display. Little did I know that it was the SR7500. I paid $1000 for it and have not regretted it one bit. While home alone today I watched the movie "U-571",in the TXH Surround mode and man did my Klipsch RC25,SS1 surrounds and my Kenwood SW300 subwoofer get a workout. I can't tell you how many times I jumped durring certain scenes. This is an awesome receiver,I upgraded from a Onxkyo 676 receiver and noticed the difference in the sound quality right away. I will put the Marantz SR7500 receiver up against any of the top quality receivers,you name it HK,Denon,Yamaha...you name it and I guaranty that this receiver will stand out from the rest. The only negative that I could find is that the volume is kind of slow. Other than that check it out for yourself.
  20. Sorry Boomer, The review that I left didn't seem to get any response. I am new at this and as soon as I can learn to write a decent review on this great receiver I will try again.
