Hey all. Appriciate all the help in past posts. I was gonna bit on the Marantz 7500 then someone said to look at the 8400. As if this journey hasn't been confusing enough - NOW WHAT - lol.
Sometimes over analizing things is a bad thing.
From what i know the difference between the to is more power, better transformer, lack of auto-setup. I can get the 7500 for $700 or the 8400 for appox $600 (or cheaper as i see from other posts as pricing seems to be falling at this time). Both well below the Yamaha's $750.
I like the looks of the 7500 better with the sealed/folddown door, but looks are much in the end i guess. Am i missing any other details as to the differences? I think the Yammy will be better in some cases, but have settled on Marantz becuase of quality (of parts and sound itself) and i don't think i would use 32 user programmable sound fields - lol.
I have read some posts were people say the 8400 sounds better plus it has more power, but any thoughts from current owners?
