I'm the owner of a Marantz SR5200, and I do like it very much. But I've had some serious issues with the power supply on two different occasions. Having said that, don't let that scare you away from Marantz. They've been great to work with, they offer a three year warranty and the SR5200 has been discontinued for a little over a year. By this point they've almost certainly taken a fine receiver and improved it and refined it that much more.

My only complaint with the Marantz is that the crossover is fixed at 100hz on the 5200. This may have changed with the newer model - I know the 7400 offers 80hz, 100hz & 120hz. Otherwise, it's a very good receiver and a nice match for my Axioms. Would I buy Marantz again? I don't know. When I bought my 5200 two years ago, this was a highly regarded unit and there wasn't much in the same price range that could compete with it. But my next receiver will be a significant step up. Denon certainly seems to have a winner with its 3805, and the only model Marantz offers near that price range is the 7400 - no contest at all. I'd spend the extra money on the Denon.
