Decisions being made

[Sweet Spot]

<font color='#000000'>So, as in a different thread, I announced the purchase of my new speakers. The Energy C-3's. I'll also be buying its surrounds and center. &nbsp;Now. Here's the receiver I'm seriously considering, unless anyone can tell me why I &quot;shouldn't&quot; buy it.....Review link on bottom as well. &nbsp;

And here's the review: &nbsp;Marantz SR8200 THX receiver</font>

<font color='#000000'>The New SR8300 will be coming out soon.

My only reason.

<font color='#000000'>Hehe.... On another forum, someone was saying that they &quot;heard/understood&quot; that the Marantz people way over exaggerated on the power ratings/specs, and that there was no way it carried a continuous signal of the claimed wattage accross 5/6 channels.

Then he insisted that Harmon Kardon inspects/tests their equipment, and makes sure that their specs are not exaggerated at all. &nbsp;Any comments on this ? &nbsp;I just want to make sure that I won't get screwed with power...and that the speakers won't eat it up. &nbsp;I really hate when i have doubts of such magnitude. Besides that, I have 't seen a HK with THX or the features that can match the Marantz. It's such a sexy beast !

<font color='#0000FF'>You wont go wrong with the Marantz, they have really sweet sound and the build quality is superb.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Marantz has some of the most solid built receivers out there, Amp sections are where most of their R&amp;D shines. &nbsp;
