Jeff, The sub (same as Energy ES8) has a variable crossover and speaker level inputs, but no speaker level outputs(unfortunately). So I can adjust the sub to cover the range the sats can't deal with, but I'm still stuck sending a full range signal to them. I don't think this is really a...

Hi there, I've got a set of Mirage AVS200 (same as Energy take 5) satellites and matching sub. They are going to be connected to a reciever that only has 50hz as a crossover option. The sats are only rated to 90hz - is there any danger running these as "large" to avoid the hole in the...

I've purchased several cables, and 2 refurbished Marantz products from them - service was great and everything works great. :emoji_thumbsup: Also, the SR5000 is a great receiver, especially considering the price at AC4L. I don't think it has all the bells and whistles of some of the newer...

I'm new to this forum, but thought I'd share a disturbing revelation I had today. I've been puting together a budget music system for my parents. They only have $500 so I got: Marantz SR4000 receiver, Marantz CC3000 cd changer (both reconditioned) and a set of PSB Alpha A/V speakers with...

Kevin, Yes, that's a tough call. The remote on the Marantz is a great unit, but I haven't heard the preamp itself. I owned the AV600 for about a year and that was a well built, good sounding unit, but lacked DD/DTS. Check out www.audioreview.com for reviews on the AV560. Also, check out...

Kevin, It's pretty good, if it has the RC2000 remote. The RC2000 remote alone goes for about $100-$150 on the used market so that means your paying about $280-$330 for a DD/DTS pre/pro - I'd call that a good deal. The only problem is it lacks 5.1 inputs so you're limited as far as upgrades...

I second the Sony ES recommendation. I picked up the CX90ES 200 cd changer for $300 used and I'm very happy with it. I have it paired with a MSB Link Dac and honestly I may have to get rid of the MSB - the difference in sound from the Sony's dac is very subtle. Mike

Also try www.accessories4less.com I think they only sell refurbished units, but they are a Marantz authorized dealor so they should be ok. Mike Forgot to mention, the price for the refurb is $799 with one year warranty. [Edited last by Mike_Ol on November 12, 2001 at 01:22 PM]

Oops! Pardon my spelling - that would be "refurbished" units.

Hi Mike, By coincidence, I was just looking at one of those for my bedroom. There are 2 models, the Musicworks 200 and Musicworks 300. The 300 has the clock/radio/cd unit with a remote and the Microworks sub/sat system. I was lookin on ebay and Cambridge is offering refubed units for...

I picked my MM9000 up for $699 about 3 months ago and love it. I too had problems with the trigger, as I'm using a Rotel RSP980 Pre/pro. Here's what I did: If your pre/pro has an on screen display, split the signal with a y-cable and send it to the "video" trigger on the MM9000. I'm not...

Hello, I'm putting together an inexpensive system for my parents, and I need a cheap receiver. Right now it's only for music, but they would like the ability to go to home theater at some point. Here are the contenders and the prices I have found: Denon 1601 $225 Onkyo 484 $225 Marantz...
