I've always been puzzled by Marantz' reputation for a 'warm' sound. Any ideas on why this actually is? Is it in the amp? Processor? I struggle with understanding how 1s and 0s can be translated into 'warm' electrical analog signals.
Do Marantz' add something to the signal? Detract?
????

Just curious.

I get my Onkyo 805 in today! Very excited. I'll let you know what I think of it with the 80-500 system (previously driven by an old Marantz AV receiver....thus the question above)

ho ho ho
