SR7009 first thoughts
Well after the amp arrived on Saturday (thanks again Peter Tyson!), managed to get it set up on Sunday (note to self: if you're going to get a stupidly large AV cabinet, put it on wheels!).
It was really easy to set up, just as others have said, it was a pleasant surprise. I wish all amps were as easy, full marks to Marantz for making things so simple and straightforward.
And it sounds great! I'm really happy with it so far. Music's really clear and controlled, was really able to hear all the different instruments. What I've heard so far on the AV side has also been impressive. Really looking forward to giving it a full workout on the film side
