Looking for guidance on Home Theater Reciever purchase

Looks like it is time to replace my Marantz ZR 6001. Looking for something newer that can handle the newer processing like DTS HD which mine can not do.

Also HDMI in/out jacks would be a plus I would think. Looking to keep the budget under $700 and at least 110 WPC to give my Chorus IIs the power

that they thrive on. I do not know a lot about these receivers and the Marantz I got by pure luck, right place, right time. I have done a little research

but need some help from those that know. If it matters I am only running a 5.1 setup but is seems like most everything for sale are 7.1.

Your help will be appreciated. Thanks

Big Cliff,

Are you pleased with the Marantz sound? If so, this should do it for you.

You will not find any new HT receivers that are only 5.1. They are all 7.1 with the option of 5.1.

Edit: You will only find new entry level/low quality HT receivers with just 5.1
