yes, i'm sure..
even the same wattage receivers, like both 80watts per channel, Denon receiver have to struggle the volume at 0db to gain same loudness as Marantz at volume -10db

because marantz is very honest with their power rating

[attachmentid=1462591]

for example sr6003 power rating is 100w per channel and when all channel fully utilized the power comes very close as claimed

Why not take Denon AVR1610, it handles 5 channel speakers, featutes HDMI connection and has HD sound system, and Audyssey setup. It costs RM1,800.
Power rating is 75 watts per channel, i think this is not suitable for open spaces, ideally for small & medium room at easy listening volume

1910 is expensive, over 2k

bro...korek tabung sikit...it worth for your money, don't waste money for upgrade...

Yup, I agree with that...its either that or get a entry level unit that does only basic DTS and DD.

tabung olredy korek and the total is 2000 only

Hahaha korek jangan tak korek.

let go some stuff in ur sig later can even get 2310

Mana?

Last time when the model been released, Desa HT, a hifi shop at one utama also sold them for RM3500. Similar marantz model also RM3500

0% interest can lorr

Last time when

alright, right after the product was launched in mid of year 2008, and reviewed by What Hifi.. very long time ago

Korek deeper & u can get 3310. Holy smoke, all the channels sound boosted immediately & surround is very expansive thanks to individual amplification sections.

I still remember when the 1909 was launch i did ask n it was only touching RM2800 only. Where u got this sky rocketing price.
