Need to resurrect an older post....
Like dmn23, I would also like to hear your impressions of the SR7500. I presently have the RX-V995 and am considering upgrading to the SR5500. The RX-V1500 is similarly priced to the 5500 and the feature set is a bit better. However, based upon my brief experience w/ an SR8400, I suspect that the sound quality of the Marantz versus the Yammie is worth the downgrade in features (no auto-setup, less digital inputs, lower wattage, etc).
Any opinions would be appreciated. Hopefully you did some comparisons before you packed up the 995.
Also, anyone w/ any comparible experience is welcome to chime into the Marantz versus Yamaha discussion.
Thanks in advance.
