That amp is rated at 110W/channel. I thought that perhaps if it's rated at 80W/channel or less and are satisfied with its power output, you would also be satisfied with the Marantz.

To determine whether you'll be happy with 80W/channel, you'll need to know your current nominal sound pressure level, distance from the speakers and room dimensions. For reference, I listen to 85dB nominal (with my sub on) at 8 feet away from the M80s in a 4,000 cubic foot room with a nominal half watt per channel out of my 90W/channel Denon.
