Towards my first surround speakers setup - 5.1.4 (please help)

$100 more for the 3600 is pretty good, imo. I'd probably do that. I've seen images of the internals of both units and the 3600 does look like it has more robust heat sinks and appears to be laid out more logically, tho I would expect both to perform pretty much the same. Of course the 3600 will have the most current features also (if that matters).

Thanks for checking. I will be getting the 3600 then

Freaking times. Seems like they are out of 3600. The only ones available on their site are AVR-X1600 (which you wont recommend for sure) and AVR-X4500H (which is way expensive)

So, I am moving to Marantz website: Can you take a look at

SR5014 and let me know what you think?

Thank you

For Marantz I would be looking at the 6*** series and up. The 5014 is lacking a few features the 3600 and 3500 have.

Thanks to you again,
