AV RECEIVER REPLACEMENT

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Am in the process of looking for a new receiver to replace my long in the tooth Marantz SR-18 which has been a great unit over the last 11 years. I have not had any trouble with the unit to speak of, but I notice now that the remote is starting to act up, but I guess after 11 years of constant use anything could go down.

My real concern is a replacement. There is no "SR-18" replacement (Model number, etc) by Marantz. There no doubt is an equivalent replacement but I don't know what that might be. There have been added accessories to a lot of receivers in the form of Audyssey auto set up, THX certification, and ISP Calibration to name a couple plus. If it sounds like I am lacking in knowledge regarding these types of units, you are right. I reside in a "wasteland" of audio and video retail marketing so I get very little opportunity to view, or play with any cutting edge models of receivers that might be available to do the job I would like to have done. So I would like to pose a question to the inmates out there to offer some input on what might be a good, better, or best replacement for what I am using at the moment. I have an older 50 inch Fujitsu plasma TV that has a native resolution slightly less than what could be obtained today. 1080i I think. So that might moderate just what type of receiver to consider. Anyway, any information offered would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If your plasma set is 1080 (1920 X 1080 pixels), it should be capable of displaying 1080P. - Audiophilander 23:42:03 12/15/09 (2)
