looking at getting a replacement for my aging Yamaha receiver....something more modern.
so far I have come down to 2:
Marantz 7001 and Rotel 1057.
the speakers are B&W CM-6, CM-C, CM-2
based on the speaker being B&W I am leaning more towards the Rotel, but I know the Marantz can sound good, too.
does anyone have experience with these 2 receivers?
thoughts?
the receiver would be used more for watching movies and TV, but at the same time I more interested in their musical performance.
some other considerations include Pioneer Elite and Denon, but I've never really cared much for the Denon sound, and the last time I listened to a Pioneer receiver I was very unimpressed....
