I've been looking at the Marantz as well. Any price deal information would be appreciated. consider yourself in! As soon as I get the price I will let you know, hopefully it will be a good number!

I may be able to get a much better price!! And if you want in I can pass the info on to you. I will have the price Monday.

Anyone have any input on this Marantz AV7005 seperate?

You lost me a bit. You say it can do gaming (xbox 360)? Can it upscale to 1080p? So would the emotiva be a better choice than a denon, or marantz? would it sound better than those or would it have better video processing, room calabration ect? I can get that marantz for around $700.00.

How do you switch sources on the emotiva? I mainly use it for HT, and xbox and then music. How is the emotiva for gaming? Also what will the xmc-1 have over the umc-1? Neither of these do 9.1 do they?

I am also wondering if I would be better off money spend by going seperates and just getting the emotiva since I have amps? I wonder if the internals of the emotiva would be better that one with amps built in?

Fish, Thats also what I am thinking! I know there is better sound out there that onkyo is giving me, but I need help from you guy finding the right receiver, what ever it is. Denon, marantz, emotiva, pioneer elite ect....

I thought about that but I dont believe it supports 3d or networking. I also read that they are still having some bug issues with that receiver. The price is good though!!

Onkyo does not have 12v triggers to turn on and off my amps. I sent them am email and they say only for zone 2.

Anyone know if this is any good with my set up? Marantz SR6006 AV Receiver http://us.marantz.com/us/products/pages/productdetails.aspx?CatId=avreceivers&ProductId=SR6006

I am trying to stay around the 1000.0 mark give or take. dont want used. thought about waiting for the xmc-1 but who knows when that will ship. so looking at denon, i need triggers for my amps and 3d and at least 7.1. Not sure what receiver will pair nicely with my system?

Well my old onkyo sr-706 to a jolt of electricity in a storm we had and it wont work right. It still has power but it wont recognize the source input. So needless to say I need something new. I also need it to have 12v triggers for my emotiva amps. I am currently running 7.1. want it able to run 3d also networking would be great too. Whats the opinions on some better receivers?

No, I was not aware! Thats great. I am getting close to reaching my goal, just need a little more help.
