Newbie looking for new receiver suggestions..help? Marantz 5011 thoughts?

[lithnights]

At this point, after reading many replies, doing further research, and hitting the local Best Buy again to listen to multiple receivers, I've narrowed it down to keeping the Marantz 5011 or getting the Yamaha RX-A1060 (which currently is heavily discounted at my local BB). I was going to post a new thread to get thoughts on these 2, head to head.

Thanks for everyone's feedback.

I recommended the 1060 to another poster a few days ago, because of that discount. Otherwise the 2060 would have been my pick for anyone who is considering upgrade from something like your Marantz SR5011, Yamaha RX-A860 or Denon AVR-2300. Still, the 1060 is a major step up assuming it's pre out performance will likely be in par with the 2060 and 3060.

I searched the forums and found a few posts, and your posts, on the 860 and 1060, so am reading those. Thanks for the feedback!
