the Marantz and the Denon are owned by the same parent company and share a lot of common parts, thus will most likely sound the same.

They don't, and their internal design is very different (and the do not share many common parts, this is a common misunderstanding).
I sold Onkyo, Denon, and Pioneer (and had a top-denon receiver I traded back for my B&K which sounded vastly superior). Having heard all of them (and owned several), I can assure you that the sound quality of the Marantz 8002 is in league above any of these others.
