Without doubt, the Marantz amp will give you a better performance over the Yamaha RX-V765. But I think you should just buy the CD player first & see how it sounds to you with your Yamaha receiver. If you're happy with its performance, then you won't have to spend more. You can always add the dedicated amp later.
cheers bb , ill defo get the dedicated amp , but i want to finish off my home cinema first , would you expect the marantz to still sound much better than the sony bds363 with music through the yam ?
no amp pm6003 please.you must get something better.to get better sound than your yamaha.at least to be worth spending more money.
no i meant will i get an improvement using the cd player through the yam as opposed to the sony through it ? i wouldnt bother getting the marantz amp first , to use with the sony ..
the reason for this thread is because i need to upgrade in stages , and i guess im looking for whatever will have the most impact on my system , for music or movies , with the e400 ive got right now , i could just about get the centre and sats at the weekend , perhaps they will have the most immediate impact , as ive only currently got the br5s as fronts..

This WHF review questions the need for any other amp if you're going for the Marantz CD player.

ear:id go for speakers firts.
Sorry, but why upgrade something you've already got? Yes, the speakers will make a difference, but if the OP already has decent speakers (Monitor Audio BR5 according to the signature), I think he should first invest in equipment he hasn't already got, like the CD player. After the CD player & maybe the amplifier, if the upgraditis still bothers you, upgrade your speakers.

Max, from reading your posts over the last week or so, i'd say you're enjoying/happy with the music playback from your system, so is a CD player just a case of upgraditis?
If so i'd concentrate on improving the surround sound side of things, by adding the centre/surrounds/sub-After all, thats what you bought the system for in the first place!

id get another brand.of course the cenetr shoould match.as for sub, a down firing one from wharfedale will be better than a bronze range

daveh75:I think ear means adding centre/surrounds/sub, as max only has fronts atm...
Hmmm.......I got a bit confused here. I was under the impression that max wants the best out of his system for music (stereo playback), for which centre, surrounds & subwoofer don't help. Ofcourse, some prefer music in surround sound format.
