The Marantz 8805 is a really excellent processor for the cost. Very full and powerful sound. However, it does have a slight rolloff on the high frequencies (just very slightly warm). If you combine this with the slightly warmer sounding Parsound amps, you may not get as much high frequency response and excitement that you might expect. If this is a concern, the Anthem AVM60 will be a better solution.
New high end processor
Hi all, I am in the market for a processor to power My PMC speakers. I currently have a 5.1 system but in the near future it will be expanded to a 7.1 or 7.2 possibly with atmos. I have parasound halo amps. I have been in a holding pattern with a Denon 3400 with which I am not enamored and have yet ot hook up my amps. So, my budget is 5k. I have seen the Marantz 8500, Avm 60 and the Yamaha Cx 5200 on line. I am sure that there are others, and updates for this year? Suggestions?
Thank you
