    Marantz SR-6007 or SR 7007... anyone got one?

    Thanks Pete... I got here ;) They sound better and better everyday.. even more so now we've decorated, lol! Really enjoying listening to all my old music and some new.. With the Oppo I can now play SACD and I have to say it sounds awesome... shame it's where it is. Gonna have to make a...

    Marantz SR-6007 or SR 7007... anyone got one?

    I'm beginning to realise that.. Just bought a clearance Denon RCD-M38 for the bedroom and returned my Wharfedale Force 2080's to service..

    Marantz SR-6007 or SR 7007... anyone got one?

    Sorry I've been off task for a couple of weeks.. I finally made decisions and spent cash .. Whilst rereading this I realise that PistolPete had his demo day at HIFIX, where I ended up one sunny Tuesday a couple of weeks back. Great store, really great - everything I was wanting under one...

    Marantz SR-6007 or SR 7007... anyone got one?

    Thanks Mediavanman,do you own the SR7007? I think I may be convincing myself into having a third zone, can't afford the 7007 though.. refurb 7005 maybe. I wish the denon AVR 3312/13 had multichannel audio input! Having a medium sized lounge I need bigger speakers for the front than the A10...

    Marantz SR-6007 or SR 7007... anyone got one?

    Thanks Pete. You are right they only had one set of cables.. I found your review very interesting and it has lead me to seek more info on the KEF Q range. I've spent some time today reading up on the range and am now even more resolute on giving the pair another listen. I had a visit from my...

    Marantz SR-6007 or SR 7007... anyone got one?

    We actually had an issue with that knob on the listen, the tweeter wasn't working on one of the pair to start with. I will be asking for some bi amping as I plan to bi amp at home. As to detail, I crave it! We almost moved my studio monitors into the living room during our session, time ran...

    Marantz SR-6007 or SR 7007... anyone got one?

    Thanks Kaledi it looks likely to be the 6007 now as my budget is being eaten by more expensive speakers ;) It's good to hear the 7005 sounds as good though.. I could still find a refurb. Pistolpete it was completely unexpected. I used Kef reference speakers in a studio environment in the...

    Floor standing speakers for £650

    Oops .. you're right that was the price of the gloss, however I heard a rumour they were going to go up ;) Who know's if it's true or not. I'm going to include Tannoy DC6T's in my third round too...

    Floor standing speakers for £650

    I'm in the same boat! I'm heading towards a Marantz AV however.. or possibly Denon. I have auditioned both sets the 2050i's and the bx5's.. They both have an expansive soundstage and good depth of tone. I would say the MA's had a clearer top end with more clarity in the lower mid, definately...

    Marantz SR-6007 or SR 7007... anyone got one?

    Thanks Kingston, that's another vote for Marantz and B&W... I tried to audition some 684's last week but the store was out of stock.. Instead I listened to Kef Q500 and the fabulous yet small Monitor Audio BX5's. The BX5's sounded great, nice big soundstage with a tighter midrange compared to...

    Marantz SR-6007 or SR 7007... anyone got one?

    Thanks Keith, that's good to hear.. and you're right.... A wholly handsome swine indeed. I'm glad you say it's you rate it's stereo performance, that's where my current system is woefully inadequate. I loaned a PM6004 last night to compare with my Onkyo and get a feel fo the Marantz sound in...

    Any users of the above receiver? What are they like? What speakers are you using...
