Marantz AV7005 7.2 Channel Preamplifier First Look

Hey Accu. Are those Orions in red in your Avatar?

Yeah, Photoshop Red.

I don't have the Orions. I just put them there to see what they would look like. They are basically on my WISH LIST.

Those are a pair that are on my very short list to listen to and compare to my Ohm's. Even the Pluto would be an interesting audition.

Heck of a move from Deftechs to Orions... I kinda hope you get them!

So far, the best speakers I've heard are the RBH Sound T-2P speakers.

I think the Definitive BP7000/7001 are excellent speakers also, regardless of "public image" of them - a lot of people hate DefTech because their marketing department lie about the frequency response.

I have not listened to the Revel Salon2 or Orion yet, but I think I will be able to audition them in November.

Sorry, back to the thread on the Marantz AV7005.

You need a vacation. It will leave you either divorced or broke

True.

I'm not buying anything for a while.

I'll just listen to them -- no really, honestly.

What if I were to do something extreme and sell all my Def Techs?

Would you dare me?

We need to get you into control.....Lights, components, hvac, sprinklers, garage, on and on and on. 1 touch control for all of your needs well if she is willing to get an implant (not the tata's) maybe that too

So I take it there still isn't a shipping date on this bad boy yet?

Nah, I'm keeping all my beloved DefTechs.

I may add speakers, but I'm not willing to subtract any.

Looks like the wait is over, guys. Well, for me anyway! Stassen Hifi, a Dutch company where I ordered my AV7005 / MM7055, told me they expect it any day now! W00t!

 

[Volta]

So has anyone picked one of these processors up yet?

So, by now, someone must have a thought or two about the AV7005. Also, how does it compare to its older brother the AV8003? These are on sale right now for $1,499 NIB with full 3 year warranty. That's about the same as a new AV7005. How do they compare?
