USparc Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Yes, KAiN64. The marantz SR-9200 does have some points that are equal to the denon like the transfo, but there are definitly more. Like this important one: The SR9200 incorporates the most advanced Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a Crystal 192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each of the seven channels.When reproducing 2 channel stereo, these DACs are automatically switched in dual differential mode, to perform the highest quality D/A conversion. That is typicaly from the Denon AVC-A1SE!! ------------------ ------------------------- Receiver: Pioneer VSX-909RDS DVD: Pioneer DV-525 Screen: Thomson 46" RetroProjection Front: RF-3 tFTP Rear: RF-3 tFTP Center: RC-3 tFTP SubW: KSW-12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Denon and Marantz go very well together, it's like Volkswagen and Audi, they just fit (I know VW owns Audi) Actually, I thought they were one company. I would love to see this happen. I love Marantz, but their gear is in the hard to obtain catagory (My area) and Denon is everywhere.

whell Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 As with any merger, you look and see what the involved parties say at the time of the merger, then sit back, watch and see what really happens. Here is the section of the press release that bears watching: Commenting on the deal, Tatsuo Kabumoto, CEO of Marantz stated, The combination of Denon and Marantz, backed by world class companies like Ripplewood Holdings and Philips, establishes a platform on which we intend to build the world class company in the premium audio visual space. Marantz regards the establishment of D&M Holdings as yet another important strategic step forward for the company following its acquisition of trademark rights and sales subsidiaries operating in Europe and the US from Philips last May, he added. AND Mitsushige Sakamoto, CEO of DENON said, leveraging the synergies of the merger and integrating DENONs digital A/V technology with Marantzs video and wireless technology, D&M Holdings will secure its position as a leading competitor in the home theatre market. You wonder from this what brands will be retained to market what products. Will the new company market audio products under the Denon name, and video products under the Marantz name? As a Marantz owner, I appreciate the sound of a Marantz product, but fully recognize that Denon has more market share and name recognition to the average electronics consumer. Just some idle thoughts.... ------------------ Mike - Livonia, MI Klipsch RF-3 L/R Klipsch RC-3 Center Klipsch RB-5 rears HSU Research VF-2 Sub Marantz SR-19EX receiver Marantz MM-9000 Amp NAD T550 DVD Adcom GCD 700 CD This message has been edited by whell on 05-13-2002 at 01:48 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
