I returned my Onkyo 604 receiver as I did not like the way it played stereo music. Maybe I had a setting wrong but is sure seemed to sound inferior to my HK AVR 240. The thing is with HD-DVD I want an HDMI receiver so I need something else.

With the Onkyo off my list and the HK models not accepting audio, I am looking at the Marantz SR4001 and Denon 2307.

I know zip about Marantz so I thought I would check with the folks here to see what you think. Any thoughts on HT vs. music?
