I am strongly thinking about getting the Marantz unit.


A little more money, but the new Pre-Pro Yamaha recently announced (CX5000), "11.2 channels", looks pretty interesting and I am strongly considering it when it is available in the next couple of months. I always had a preference for the Yamaha's especially because of their movie soundfields. Also, their upper end Aventage series AVR's along with this new unit from what I have observed generally have better warranties(4 years) than most others which are 2 or 3 years.
