Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater SaCds!! I will never buy another regular cd again…

I have an almost identical system. I have a Denon 2200 DVD/SACD/DVD-A player, an Onkyo TX-SR800 which I use as a pre/pro, a Marantz MM9000, and M60's for mains, VP100, and M2's for rears. I also have 2 QS4's I use as side surrounds for movies. DVD-A's and SACD's sound fantastic.

It is clear that the High res formats are the ultimate in musical reproduction today, it's just that there are so few titles! I would love to see the entire Pink Floyd catalogue from "Meddle" through "The Wall", the entire Alan Parsons and Mike Oldfield catalogues, and many others come out in one of the new formats. I would also like to see more new releases.

P.S. How do you like your MM9000?

i Fn Love it man, sonically almost perfect.. no signs of it stressing to push the speakers at what ever volume... i have also never had any of the clipping lights come on, so the amp is more than powerful enough to push the m60's, and also will make the m60's sufficiently loud to keep up with the EP350.


I dont think that i will ever need another amp, but if i know myself, i will end up doing another HT system, and i know that i will most likely not find another amp that will be able to compare dollar for dollar that we paid for our MM9000's..

I agree. I'm running a 7.1 system using the 9000 to power my M60,s, VP100, and a pair of M2's. These are the 5 speakers I use for DVD-A and SACD playback. My Onkyo powers my QS4's, and I figure 100 watts is more than enough for the QS4's. I also figure my Onkyo can really deliver 100 watts since it is only driving 2 channels.

I have never seen any of the clipping lights come on either, and I have played the thing pretty loud. My only lingering doubt is that the deal seems too good to be true. A 170w x 5 amp by a well respected manufacturer which originally retailed for over $2k for only $700? Somethimes I think that something's got to be wrong with my 9000, but I can't for the life of me detect it.
