Marantz SR7005 OR Pioneer ELite SC-35


Hello,
I'm putting together a surround sound system and was wondering if anyone using either of the AVR's in my title would care to comment on them. I'm considering a purchase of one or the other and I'm thinking that between them its a "flip a coin" type of a decision. The PE uses Class-D amps; Marantz has a good rep for audio. Both have multi-year warranties, both are in the same price range.

All comments are appreciated..

Thank You

I don't think I would get either. Don't like Class D and Marantz in that price range is consumer grade and easilly bested. I do think you need to increase your budget a little but the increase in actual performance that you will get will easilly be heard.
Really not sure unless you can go 2500, then I would say go with the nad t775. It is much better than the nad you had. I would just keep away from class d receivers and the consumer stuff. Maybe a rotel? I had rotel before the pioneer elite. There's always anthem, just not sure of their prices. Good luck.
