I've owned both Marantz and Yamaha receivers in the past. I can't honestly say which I liked bettter, cause they both provided things that the other didn't have, or didn't do quite as well.
Today Marantz is owned by Denon, and I think if I myself was going to narrow my purchase down to these two manufactors, I'd probably go with Marantz. They make an outstanding product, has do Yamaha. Truth be told I loved them both, but in the end I found Marantz to be the better of the two based on my ears, tastes, and likes.
