I totally agreed with Mikapoh on the Denon and Marantz characteristic on Movies & Music.
Too many people have been debating on whether to get Marantz or Denon.
Sound Quality between Denon n Marantz are quite close.
People used to get Denon for most of the 2xxx series are Made in Japan when ALL Marantz are Made in China.
People get Marantz for the new look and extra features at the lower end models. Like SR6003 supports dual HDMI output.
For those who wants to listen to music more than movies, I still recommend you guys to stick to entry level Integrated Stereo Amp from Marantz and get the Denon AVR. A question to answer for yourself : "Are you going to sit in front of your system in the sweet spot to listen to ur music using AVR 5.1 or 7.1 setup?" You probably will be moving around or even doing something else while enjoying the music. Unless u r a stereophile, I think you can get Denon or even Marantz AVR n can't be wrong. There r people who likes the sound from Denon and there are people who prefer Marantz. So, conclusion, in order to select the right AVR, this is the basic rules:
1) Design & Look
2) Features vs Price
3) Usability & Upgradability
Sound Quality : Please Audit yourself with the speakers that u r planning to buy or already owned.
NEVER trust others' ears because I might like the sound but you might not.
Go See It, Feel It, Listen It and finally Match It with the speakers.
That said, to truly experience the full capabilities of AVRs (especially the higher end models), one would need matching higher end kits and I think most importantly a dedicated HT room. Otherwise, spending that extra moolah will not be totally worthwhile.Too many people have been debating on whether to get Marantz or Denon.
