In Reply to: Marantz SR-7000 or 8000 posted by Dudesicle on April 16, 2001 at 14:43:35:
I owned the SR-7000 before I upgraded to the Arcam AVR100, and I must say that I enjoyed the Marantz a lot, it was very musical to my ears, and worked very well with HT, and well as 2-channel listening. I listened to the SR-8000, but it did not seem worth a $300 price increase to my ears. They are very physically similar, and I am not aware of the 8000 using more sophisticated parts than the 7000. Like I said, I liked the Marantz, but I was able to upgrade at a very good price to the musically superior Arcam. I found the 7000 to be a little frustrating to use in certain areas, like when I hooked up the Digital output from my DVD player to the Digital Coax input on the 7000. I had to manually tell the receiver that I was using a digital connection, otherwise I was unable to decode DD or DTS signals on DVD's. I did like the remote very much, easy to program and use, and my quibbles were fairly minor. All in all, I think the SR 7000 would fit your needs just fine, and use the extra $$ on cables. If possible, listen to both receivers side by side, and determine which one sounds best to you. I think that for the $$ the Marantz is a fine product that will service your needs for a long time.Shawn
