Answer 1

I think that you are probably getting so confused because you have been getting too much contradictory advice from people, and as a result you are just obsessing on and on about which is the BEST receiver to buy.

I think that you could be perfectly happy with any one of the three receivers you mentioned. Marantz, Denon and Onkyo are all very fine brands, and in terms of their electronics, any one of the three will do the job for you. If you did a blindfolded listening test, I seriously doubt that you could actually HEAR a difference between them.

I think you might finally make a decision in terms of what amounts to some other pretty straight-forward but important things: Take another look at each of the receivers, and consider:
Which one seems to have the knobs and buttons arranged best on the front panel?
Which one has buttons and knobs that FEEL best when you turn and push them?
Which one simply looks the nicest, or looks most impressive?
And which one has the REMOTE CONTROL that feels best in your hand and seems to have its buttons organized in the most clear and sensible way?

These four factors are probably more important that most people might think. After all, you are going to be living with this receiver for a long time, and it is going to be important that that way it OPERATES be smooth and easy (a well-designed remote control can really make a difference!) And you want a receive that looks good, too!

So, stop obsessing and make a decision already, so you can start enjoying your new system!

Answer 2

We've talked about your Bose already...But for the folks at home:

Boldly
Over-priced
Stereo
Equipment

Once again, home-viewers, click this link to see why Bose sucks: http://www.whydoesmyhometheatersuck.com/bose.html

Denon is the ONLY one of those 3 choices that offers IDENTICAL power supplies for EACH channel...Most other receiver have HUGE power supplies for the 2 fronts and then SKIMP on the center and rear.

Denon gives equal power all the way around...While spreading the power around equally makes the Denon run with the LEAST overall volume, you don't have to adjust the individual volume levels of your speakers...You can keep them all at "zero" if you like.

Answer 3

Stick with the Marantz;you will not get any better output with your speakers unless....if you wanna upgrade,you could wire your system to two powered sub woofers.It will bring all your speakers up to max output.And I also think Bose only belongs in cars...not as the cornerstone of home audio.

Answer 4

dont go buy how the sound of recievers being tested on bose speakers because your not hearing the full potential of the reciever because its being limited buy the quality of the bose speakers. stick with the marantz reciever.

Answer 5

Check into Yamaha, just as good as Onkyo and Denon but easier for optimizing.

Answer 6

I like the Marantz a lot, I am thinking about it for my self, the new series is hevy dudy stuff, bigger power supply stuff like that

it will be enouph power for anything that you need and anything that you own

it will work great
