I am lost. Can someone with any knowledge better than I please respond.
I am torn between the SR5008/5009 and 6008
The 5009 is the current. I am thinking the only diff is wifi and blue tooth. I could be way off.
I currently do not have a 4k TV but may in 6-8 months.
7 channel system using B&W805's
Thoughts please.

I would just define exactly what features you actually need and then get the AVR that have those features at the best price.

For example, if you need 4K video and AirPlay capabilities, the 5008 also has those features.

What other features will you need?

Thanks for the response. I have 3 kids in college so once out, the av room gets redone.
I had an old Marantz sr18 but it blew a chip. Repair cost is probably 300.00. It just does not do the current systems justice.

The 4k, wifi and Airplay are all a +
I want the one that would be best for upgrades, dual room, TV too
Thanks.

I recommend the Denon X4000 AVR. It has all those features you listed, plus it has the flagship Audyssey XT32 + dual Subwoofer HT EQ. You can find them brand new for $800 now on Amazon. But I've seen prices for new units on Amazon for about $690. Call Electronics Expo and Onecall and see if one of the sales reps can "match" that price of $690 seen on Amazon in the past few months.

Of course, Best Buy would price match the $800 price on Amazon too, if you prefer to buy local.

You can also get open box items from Amazon for $650-$700. Open box (NOT REFURBISHED) gets you the full 3 YR Denon warranty.

In order to get the flagship Audyssey XT32 + dual SubHT EQ from Marantz, you would have to get the $1600 SR7008.
