One speaker is now wasted because it now points to the wall . Do ADP speakers split the volume of sound into two...

    Is the Marantz 7200 have enough power for Paradigm Reference Studio 60's?

    I had the Marantz 7000 powering my Paradigm Reference Studio 80's. Sounded great. Last year I moved to the 8200. You will be fine with the 7200.

    Marantz 8300 = Pioneer 47a (somewhat)

    I just downloaded the Manuals for both DVD players. Did a quick compare. Both manuals have the same number of pages!! All setup screens are almost the same.(8300 is missing some options). Marantz doesn't list SVCD as a disc option. What does this mean??? Good or Bad. I can't wait...

    Michael, Can't wait for some feedback on picture quality (chroma). I am looking at the Denon-3800. I think the 9000 and the 3800 should have simular video quality. Thanks

    How often do you upgrade your receiver?

    I discovered Home Theater about 2 years ago. I purchased a Marantz SR-7000. At that time I wasn't aware that home theater technology changes so rapidly. I was never really planning on upgrading. Now I have just purchased a SR-8200. How often do you all make a receiver upgrades?

    Marantz Receivers

    chrisden, I also have the 8200. Do you use your Sr-8200 for component video switching? I have to go through a goofy procedure to make it work. Besides that its a great sounding receiver. I first traded in my 7000 for a 7200. I had some video issues and demoed the 8200. I have kept the...

    Pioneer DV- 47a vs. DV-S733A

    I downloaded the manual from the Pioneer web site. Both models use the same manual. Both models are identical except for one feature. Only the DV-S733A will read DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. Why not the DV-47A?
