That looks to be a good unit, too! Although the price is still a bit higher than the Emotiva once available discounts are included -- although the Marantz is a refurb unit. (Did you notice any difference in it compared to a new stock unit?)

I've also heard that a new line of receivers and a few pre-pros with Dolby Atmos will be launching this fall, so I'm still sitting on the fence for a bit...
