The Ebay title says ampilfier but I bought the AV8003 reciever. What I like. Easy to use once set up. Sounds really nice. On screen setup menu What I dislike. The size of the unit is huge for just a reciever. No video pass through when unit is turned off. -sometimes its nice to watch tv without the stereo. Remote is impossible to program without a software degree. HORRIBLE instructions. I can not tell the difference between an upconverted 480i/p image and the source 480i/p image.
I have been in home theater hobby since my high school days(80's). With advancing technology, equipments are getting cheaper and performance is getting better each year. I had Aragon Stage One Preamp/Processor for awhile, but had to upgrade to one of the current Denon receivers to get DTS HD & True HD which I used it as a preamp/processor. I was happy with my system and decided to upgrade to this Marantz AV8003 Preamp/Processor. I know that separates almost always bring out the better performance than integraded equipment. I hooked it to my Aragon 2007 7 Channel amp and I was blown away by the sound quality! It completely changed my system for the better! The sound was more detailed, more airy, and dynamic. Sound seemed to "float" in space. I am so satisfied with Marantz's sound quality. Cosmetically it looks very modern with concaved front sides. I am happy with everything except they attempted to save money by using plastic front corners and inner front panel. I'd pay a little more to have all metal construction. But it's not too noticeable unless you look close and knock on it. Overall, it's probably one of the best upgrades I've done in my life in order to improve the sound quality of my home theater system. Big thumbs up!

The AV8003 is a great pre-amp. It has every feature anyone would ever want. I am not surprised as Marantz is a great name. It stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of them.
