You can get a denon at a hi-fi buys and bring it back if you don't like it. If the dealer is convinced it is better, he will offer the same. Do a shootout. The 2200 is pretty darn good at that price point but I cannot say that I have heard the marantz. The 2200 also offers an option of modifying.
Yamaha or marantz
looking for a $4-500 universal(new or used). Anyone have opinions about the Yamaha 1500 or the Marantz 6400/6500? There seems to be plenty of opinions on the Pioneers, Denons, etc. but not much about these two. The owner of a good audio store told me he would take the 6500 over the Denon 2200.
