I have emailed them to ask when they will be reviewing the new Marantz range (sr5006 and sr6006) and I have not received an email reply and now I see that no one has replied on this forum either.
Very strange that everyone is keeping so quite about it? Wonder if the company does not want them to review for the fear of getting 4 stars (judging from the history of Marantz reviews from whathifi), maybe they think it will hurt their sales seeing how the Denon has fared against the like of Sony, Onkyo and Yamaha.
I am very intrested to see how they will score the Marantz and it has been out for a while now already. I have a feeling that the price of the Marantz may impact the rating as the competition is cheaper with very similar specs.
Anyway, I could not wait forever for the whathifi team to review so I bought the SR5006 as I love the look and the features are great and the sound/video amazing. :cheers: Only thing I wish the Marantz guys should have done is up scaling from other sources and not just HDMI and the ability to upscale to 4k... both these are done by the cheaper Onkyo 609, however I don’t like how the Onkyo's look.
