    Marantz SR 7009 upgrade or not?

    I have a 7–8-year-old SR 7009 9.2 channel AVR that I can sell. Would it be worth paying $260.00 difference for a SR 5015 with the new features it has? I only run a 7.2 setup. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Large room multi sub advice needed

    After the setup of some new gear, it’s time to add the sub(s) and I was hoping to get some thoughts here. Being in Thailand, selections are limited but what is available isn’t so far off US prices. There are no in-home auditioning, no exchanges and warrantees are limited to 1 year, so I need...

    Relocating sound stage and your thoughts pls.

    Originally on the left wall, if it makes a big difference I can build a wall in the center facing the house front and drape covered walls. It would eliminate having to pull the towers 3-4’ out from the wall (as there would be none), optimize surround locations correctly and provide good rear...

    Starting from scratch….New system help needed.

    I’m pre-wired in a large room for a 9.2 system. Initially I was thinking about just buying a 9.1 AVR and be done with it, but I may or may never add rears or highs/wides but then again who knows? So if I start with a good 5.1 AVR ($1500) range would it be possible to add additional channels...

    TV / AVR network connections

    Would a Smart TV with wireless connectivity and an ARC HDMI output be about the same as an AVR with the same capabilities? I would assume that I would not need both, therefore opening up my selection on both types of units. Thanks in advance. Thailand
