djwarila Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 i am ready to purchase a receiver/seperates. i have done alot of homework and narrowed it down to a select few. the marants av-8003/mm8003 combo, the integra dtr-80.1, the onkyo tx-nr5007, the harman kardon avr-7550hd, or one of the top line denons. wich do you feel would be the best match/better sound quality for my ht? i have rf-83's and rc-64, 2 thx subs and rb-61's for rears. i watch mostly movies but still some music. now i know from the past that marantz makes good quality stuff so i know the sound quality will be great. therefore it is my #1 choice right now. but does it have all of the up to date features, inputs ect. like the integra does? also i think i read somewhere that marantz units do not upscale thier video or something with the processing? and that the anchor bay is not as good as some others ( dont know what anchor bay is for anyways) any help would be great, and opinions are just as good.....if i left a good choice out of my top 5 let me know.

wuzzzer Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I've been impressed by my Marantz unit - they pair up very well with Klipsch. Assuming you have an HDTV, it will upscale every signal coming into it itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 does cost play a role? msrp on integra is around $2800 ..with the marantz combo topping out around $5000 ..both are full on features and power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwarila Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 price is not an issue, i get a rediculous discount through my boss. im pretty set on the marantz i just wanted to make sure that it is up to par with all of the current formats and features. thanks for the input guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
