2009 $750 Receiver Comparison Guide

[Soundman]

I would stretch just a bit more for the SR6003.

* By the way Soundman, how are you? Everthing's good now? The 6001's on his way.

Good point, but I was comparing the receiver's in this lineup, just seemed like the best price/performance. But in reality, one may end with something completely different... like me.
...Oh, and yes the 6001's on the way.

I know, I know, I was just going overboard. I hope that I'm allow to.
As you already read in this thread, the Marantz SR5003 was and still is my choice from that batch.

* Oh, I know that the 6001's on his way, I'm the one that'll deliver it to you.
I'm on my way, just as I type this.

Whoever gave me a bad rep for that post, is very sick in his head and is a true coward of the worst kind. That's for you, and just for you buddy. Take this and ask forgiveness from GOD, you might just get it if you're lucky, instead of descending in the abyss of hell.

I purchased the SR5003.

The sound is outstanding and connectivity has been hassle-free. I feel it's more neutral sounding than other receivers. I've heard most of the receivers listed in this comparison.

Congratulations! It's the best one from that batch, in my experienced opinion.

Would the Marantz be more of an audio centered receiver vs say a denon or pioneer elite?

Thanks

Not with current models. These units are all designed to have transparent sound. Its your speakers that make the biggest impact on sound. When someone tells you that one has better sound than the other, they are just full of it usually.

OK thanks. So basically just narrow it down to the features i want and then decide?

+1 I agree with that too.

Exactly.
