Hey Mark, re-reading my above post - I didn't come across right.
Of course you like the Marantz. At the price, w/ the power specs you note, it sounds pretty damn good. I've never heard one. I'm basically beginning my investigation today. When it comes to separates of any type I've only heard a Rotel/B&W set-up and the aforementioned Energy set-up.
What I really want to avoid is any unwanted noise or hum. Does the Marantz or Rotel make a bunch of noise during quiet movie scenes?
The auto-on feature of the Anthem sounds like a good thing; do the Rotel and Marantz have the same feature?
Anywhere to check these manufacturers' power claims?
Thanks guys.
