If you don't have a problem with reconditioned you might want to check out accessories 4 less. They handle both denon and marantz in recon and new. Good service/pricing.

Which Would You Choose?
All other things being equal, which of these two options would you choose? The goal is quality 2 channel listening with the ability to have a solid home theater experience. 5.1 surround sound is more than adequate with the primary focus being put on the mains.
Option 1
Marantz SR6006 - $1,200
110 wpc (x7) AVR
Option 2
Marantz NR1402 - $400
50 wpc (x5) AVR with 2.1 pre-outs
AND
Marantz MM7025 - $800
140 wpc stereo power amplifier
Would the power amplifier be expected to be a significant improvement in stereo sound quality?
