Yamaha 1067, Marantz 5005 or an other?

[AlmaataKZ]

I am after a new receiver that can decode all hi-rez multichannel sound formats, has pre-outs and has a clean front panel (i.e. most knobs and buttons hidden behind a flap). Something like the new Yamaha 1067 or Marantz 5005.

Another consideration is availabiliyt of discreet remote codes (on/off and input select as minimum).

Question for experienced forum members and/or WHF team and dealers here (FrankHarvey, Musicraft...) - any of these is more or less likely to have the discrete codes avaialble? Can the codes be supplied by dealers, distributors or makers at the time of purchase?

Do you know any other receivers that fit the bill?

Hi AlmaataKZ

At the moment my personal preference will be for Yamaha's new RX-V1067 and yes discrete codes will be available for the RX-V1067 in a few weeks time which a dealer or Yamaha can supply.

All the best

thanks, Rick! So, Yamaha's discrete codes are ok.

Does anybody know about Marantz?
