wuzzzer Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 There's a somewhat local Marantz SR7005 that just popped up on Craigslist for $275. Retailed for $1,699 new around 2012. Has HDMI 1.4a. I only have a 1080p tv and don't plan on upgrading anytime soon. My current receiver is a Pioneer Elite SC-LX501 that I've had for maybe a couple years. Got it as a refurb from accessories4less.com. Retailed for $1,000. I paid around $475. Mainly wondering if it would be an upgrade in audio quality. The Pioneer is a class D design and I love how it sounds with my Heresy II/Academy/RS-7 combo. ?

Fish Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Well that's an interesting ? I have a Pioneer Elite of some sort in my barn I'm thinking 5xx it has network and hdmi. It's no slouch for power or music, it's not class D I don't think. I also had a Marantz 6xxx I'm thinking a few years back. It had a pretty good reputation but I didn't think it was much honestly. My Harman 635 I had mopped the floor with it on every comparison. The 7xxx Marantz have a good rep too, I think it would be a sidaways move, even though sideways can be an improvement based on preference. Of course a large part of my opinion is speculation. Its potentially a good deal that is for sure if it's in good shape. If you needed a set for another room I'd say hard to beat for the price. For a guy that has only had a few PIoneers since the 70's I think they sound pretty good overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
