Hello Gents,
My current receiver has a bad terminal so I have no choice but to get a new one. My current unit is a Denon 891 which I purchased from BestBuy. Doing my research I have read a lot about how some receivers can be warmer than others. I am wondering if this is a fact or is it just internet chatter? I am currently looking at the Marantz 7009 or the Pioneer Elite SC-89 but I've read a lot about how Pioneer can sound a bit harsh with Klipsch speakers and that Marantz might be better because it is a warmer sounding unit. My current speakers are the RF82s, RC62 with RS42s x 4. I also run an SVS PB12-NSD with the sledge amp. Does anyone have any opinion on the whole warm/cold sound? Is there a noticable difference in sound processing between Marantz and Pioneer?
Cheers,
Mike
