leerocker Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I just picked up a Marantz sr6200 used on ebay for what i think to be a really decent price (182 including shipping). Originally these were around $800. It's 105 watts X6. I am seriously hoping that it is an improvement over my 100wpc onkyo. Is it fair for me to expect a noticable difference in sound quality? I am sure hoping so. I figured the Marantz should have better components than the onkyo, which orginally only cost about $200. Hopefully this translates to a better listening experience. I guess even if i dont like it i could resell it and not lose much money. Anyone have any experience with this unit or other Marantz's in this price range? I've got a week or so before it shows up in the mail. Speakers I'm using are Chorus I's Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael hurd Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 I have a SR 4200 ( same year model ), Ok, but the built in amps are not the most powerful. Remote is not learning, limited and some buttons are similar shapes. I have my Front Left and Right speakers hooked to a QSC PLX II 3102 pro amp right now, from the pre-outs, and by far the best approach to getting the power you want. As far as features, I don't know if there are much more than mine. ( dolby Prologic II, DTS, DD, and dolby headphone ) probably the 6200 has DD-EX and DTS-ES I am sure you can't go wrong, considering the price...

leerocker Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thank you both, I should have it in a few days. Cant wait! It says it has DD6.1 and DTS6.1 which i think translates to DD-EX and DTS-ES but i am not positive about that. We'll see. I wanted a decent enough receiver to hold me over until the new HD formats are widely available and affordable. I'll post a review next week in case anyone else has any interest.
