I am finally coming close to a conclusion on my receiver upgrade. I am getting a Marantz SR-7400 for just under $1000AUD. (>900). I currently own a Pioneer VSX-815. Would this be considered a worthy upgrade?

I dont mind my pioneer, but i love the Marantz sound and repuation, not to mention the remote :)

What do you guys think?

What features are you gaining by moving up to the Marantz? What is the difference in price if you were to move up to the 7500 or 8500?

Probebly around $300-500 for SR-7500 and 500-750 for the SR-8500(AUD), and for someone who just turned 17, thats a little to expensive at the minute :( I just want the best musical and nice movie quality sound. Features like a setup mic and stuff like that i dont really care about, after all i only have 2 channel. Probebly 3.1 soon.

To me all the features in the world (to an extent) can't make up for raw sound quality, and eversince my parents spent 15k on a marantz system over 16 years ago and it still sounds very nice. Not to mention alot of people say alot of good things about them. To be honest i dont think i should be forking out much more money out for an upgrade.
