I had high hopes for this device, as Marantz is a quality name with a rich history and a fine reputation. I remember listening to my first Marantz in 1979, and it sounded wonderful to me. I was hoping this receiver would bring my music to life like never before. Unfortunately I was disappointed on all fronts. This receiver replaced a circa 1990's Carver unit of similar rated power. Unfortunately, the Marantz sounded dull and lifeless in comparison to the much older Carver. Then, after just about two weeks, the receiver completely went out. I have not attempted to return it yet, and without the original box, that may prove to be quite difficult. I hope you have better luck than I did.

I bought thus unit because I have always been a fan of the Marantz 'sound' since the 70's. The quality of this Marantz unit is just one reason why Marantz has been a key name in audio. Full function, smooth operation and a wealth of features are just standard. Most important was how much improved the sound is from my system. I have a pair of Polk monitor 70's that need a good kick to deliver the best sound. This receiver does that and more. I notice a much wider soundtsage, clarity in the mids and highs that are crisp, clear with no sibilance. Compared to other units in this price range, I would choose the Marantz every time.
Easy set up, works great with the bose 901s, main reason I purchased the receiver
