i would go with what you KNOW to be solid. yamaha makes good equip, and if it aint broke, dont fix it. plus, if it is rated for more watts, then its a win/win deal.

i aint aying nothing bad against marantz, but it just makes sense to stick with the products that you know to be reliable.. good luck with whatever choice you make.
