Marantz vs. Jamo

[JMO_PWR]

Hey,

I have got myself in a bit of a situation, i own a Pioneer VSX-815 and i want to upgrade to something a little more quality. I am considering either the:

Marantz SR-4500 + Marantz DV4300

or

Jamo AVR-693/793 (probebly 693) + Jamo DVD-593

What are your thoughts?

Appreciate it guys.

i have the e 8 surround sytem (875 fronts) powered by a rotel rb981 130w x2 using a sony strdb981 as a pre for the fronts and using the sony to power the surrounds. sounds awesome for a budget imho. if your pioneer receiver has pre outs you might like to try out something similar.
