Hi Bigdm,

DDeca here again. Funny how we keep running into each other...

Anyway, we had TERRIBLE problems as a Marnatz dealer. Just this week I am sending in an SR-8200 for the second time in a year!! It smoked both from speakers (crossovers, woofer and tweeters!) on its way out. I cannot desbribe how much I would stay away from Marantz.

I would definitely look at the Denon and also check out the Integra DTR-7.4 or 8.4. These are very nicely built receivers that sound great and have many unique features. www.integrahometheater.com
