Marantz - to my ears they are hard to beat when it comes to music. The porthole is just a bonus

 

[TheMigMeisterGeneral]

Yamaha - Good sound, reliable, YPAO configuration very straightforward.

 

[Tinparsnips]

Marantz then Denon

G: Emotiva. I love this brand bc they make excellent amps and the new RMC-1 is a masterpiece. However, I haven’t had much experience with Marantz or Denon and would love to know their products more.

Pioneer. Entry level on my surround system and was working within a budget. While Marantz was (and still is) my wishlist receiver, the budget wouldn't allow it. I went through several different receivers in my range though ($500-$700) and fell in lobe with the Elite LX101. Read through several forums here and saw some favorable reviews, have been in love ever since. I am at a point where I've grown a bit an am looking to take true advantage of Dolby Atmos and DTS platforms though (can't live without thelatest, even if I have to be budget conscious). Eyeing two additional ceiling speakers and a 9.1 reveiver in the near future.

I'm in. Always wanted a Marantz. I first saw one as a kid ya know the famous gold color stereo ones back in the 80s. So dang cool. Good luck everyone.

Marantz, I was young, girls smiled me and music was wonderful on my marantz and jamo speakers. Still chasing those memories, but alas...

 

[Deadwalleye]

Yamaha.
I've had good luck with their equipment since I purchased my first Yamaha amp back in 1986.

I don’t always listen to surround sound. When when I do, I prefer Denon. Quality sound at an affordable price. I just bought a Denon AVR-X2500H for a Dolby Atmos experience. Combined with a Klipch 7.2 Atmos speaker package, it really rocks!
That said, I realize the mistake I made by not stepping up and buying a quality 9.2 system like the Marantz. I believe you can’t have a quality listening experience without having the full audio capabilities offered by Marantz. I’ve been learning the hard way since 1962....Some poop never changes. I think I’ll have a beer

 

[Mic Mason]

Pioneer. Based on past experience with their products.

 

[streetglide]

Yamaha but I've enjoyed my Marantz too.

Marantz - though I haven't owned many receivers. My first real stereo, bought just after high school, was a Marantz Legacy Series. I'd later read that the system was a low-point for Marantz, but I couldn't disagree more. I've run a bunch of different speakers combo's as my tastes changed over the years and even powered a DJ Booth when a friends amp died mid-show. The Marantz did it all with clarity and ease. Even now, 25 years later, the Marantz is still the backbone of my stereo.

A. Denon for the affordability and effectiveness of audyssey.

 

[Dcleary]

It isn't in the specs but I assume this receiver can drive 4 Ohm speakers?

C. Yamaha has always been my favorite because that's all that I've had but I've always wanted to try a Marantz. I like the Marantz sound and love the aesthetic.
