No Rob, I came to my senses the last day of the pre-order sale and decided against spending three grand on a 1400 watt amp for my huge, 12 X 16 room.

Good to know you give that volume knob a twist Tex. We all need to stress the auditory senses from time to time.

OK Tom.. Enough out of you buddy. Go to your room and take a time out.

……if I do buy one, or any other processor, I’ll do another ‘mini’ review with pictures and smoke.

My stupid Marantz that Marantz sent me to replace the defective one has a problem that requires it to be... in their words “evaluated” for possible repair (doubtful) or replacement….again. If they replace it, they have to replace it with the model (8002) because they don’t have any 8001’s in stock. So here I go again, buy another receiver to tide me over while this one gets ‘evaluated’. This time I’m keeping whatever I buy to tide me over and peddling whatever Marantz sends back to me.
