Failed Analog inputs on Marantz SR7015

[PENG]

6007 power is 110w. 7015 is 125w

I re set it to factory defaults and went through Audyssey from scratch.

The power output difference is so negligible, you just have turn the volume down one click. If you are sure the settings are the same as that for the 7015, then may be your current/voltage need is at the limit and the 7015 might therefore just make it for you. Chance for that scenario is slim, but still could be happening. I think something else (other than the 15 W difference) is at play.

125/110 = 1.14 times, that is 14% difference, but in the dB (log scale, how people hearing follow) that's only 0.57 dB, for D+M AVRs, one click on the volume if 0.5 dB.

I am suggesting that the 6007 would give you exactly the same sound quality, but if you can duplicate the settings as that you make on the 7015, then you should be able to enjoy it while waiting and not getting "hollow" sound whatever that meant. Obviously I am referring to direct/pure direct mode, if DSP functions, including Audyssey, then the two could sound audibly different for sure.

I don't understand your post. Of course I'm not blaming Trump for these failures. I am blaming him for the huge price increases that will be imposed on units leaving ports of origin, after his ridiculous tariffs. Not only that, but they will be scarce to non existent. Ship sailings from Asia are already down 34%. What is worse the cancellations of shipping going forward. This will take about four months at least to show up at retail outlets.

By the look of shipping and port data, shelves will start to empty in about two weeks, may be. However at the moment in a rush to beat the tariffs container ports are currently very full. If there is no change in policy then come August/September stores will start to look like retail deserts.

This thread was started in reference to the failure of your AVP, not prices and tariffs. THAT'S the reason for my post.

The link shows that it takes about 20-30 days to ship from China to the US by sea- the rest of that time would be due to Customs, distribution and ordering, which will likely be reduced because higher prices will decrease demand.

Still, it's a topic for a separate thread.

With so much being purchased online, retail is in for extremely hard times- hopefully, any stores that close will hurt Trump's real estate holdings and he'll lose money.

And hopefully, this problem will trigger US-based manufacturers to make more products in the US, rather than base their whole plan on imports.

15W means nothing at that level- if one outputs 15W and the other 30W, it would definitely be noticeable.

Before you default Audyssey, go into the Manual setup for the speakers- Idid that last Saturday for someone and when the AVR was connected to the speakers initially, the total output was ridiculously low. Once I changed the settings, it was what I'm accustomed to and I didn't use the manual Equalizer at all.

Two receivers have been reported as 'failed'- the number shipped from Marantz is far larger, so it's not enough to say that it's a trend.

In TLS' case they would be pre-pros not avrs, fwiw.
