First let me say, the picture shown doesn't actually match what the receiver looks like (it's absolutely gorgeous). Having had a Marantz 2270 for 25 years, I forgot why I bought it, as so much new technology seduces you to buy the newest and mostest. Now my most recent Onkyo (7.5 years) was a fine av 6.1 receiver, but what's lacking with Onkyo, Sony, Yamaha and others is not their quality, it's their ability to make the music sound absolutely natural. Too much effort is wasted on who can have the most features, when the real importance is the heart of any receiver, the amp. This is where the 3001 really shines, with a clean, smooth, effortless amp, and surround features for two channels that really work. It doesn't have the computer stuff, and it isn't rated 130 watts like so many of the others. However, Marantz is never lacking stability with any wattage they build, and I've turned this thing up very loud, with nary a hint of distortion. The final thought is a recommendation for all who have fine speakers, and that's if you want to make them sound better, find a Marantz you can afford and buy it. That's one decision you'll never regret.Get more detail about Marantz SR3001 - AV receiver - 7.1 channel.
