Same 90W as the 1912, so unless it offers a specific feature you need, it won't be an upgrade.

The Marantz slimline AVR's still use AB amplification and discrete channels... They don't use digital amps like the Panasonic (among a few others) AVR's did.Originally Posted by j_garcia

The 2112 adds Audyssey MultiEQ XT.... the 1912 only has MultiEQ.
For those on a budget that don't need networking or video upconversion... the 1712 has XT and the same exact 90W per channel as the 1912/2112.

I could have sworn they were digital, but I guess I was mixing them up.

Yeah, you'd think so given the small size. So far, I have yet to hear that it doesn't deliver the rated 50W per channel. So I applaud Marantz for keeping discrete class AB amplification in the smaller form factor, and somehow avoiding any heat issues that might be a problem with a small chassis (at least, I've never had heat issues with the NR1402)
I can say, the NR1402 is pretty stout at 19lbs for it's "slim" size. I have a Panasonic XR55 a few years ago, and if I remember, it was only about 11lbs.

Get a marantz sr5005 from accessories4less. Unlike the 1912 it has preamp outs.
System: Marantz SR6003
---> Crown XLS 2000 ---> Philharmonic Model 2
---> Tapco Juice J2500 --> DIY Maelstrom X
Victory goes... TO THOSE WITH COURAGE!!!

dwh is off the scale
I was looking at the SR5005, but read a lot of mixed reviews about the refurbed 5005s. Lots of issues showing up after 6+ hours of constant use. Sounds like they aren't "burning them in" overnight before testing.

Not sure if it matters to you... but just FYI...
The SR5005, like the NR1601, has the best text GUI that does not overlay.
The pre-outs are nice to have though.
