I will be replacing my Marantz SR 6200, but before I do, I'm going to bring it back to Lenbrook before my warranty expires (September or October of this year). I want them to at least acknowledge the dropouts, which they didn't do last time. I'm going to ask that they at least help me find a comparable replacement Marantz or NAD receiver WITHOUT digital audio signal delay, and perhaps give me some trade in value, at least as much as I could get for the unit used. I'd rather try this before selling my SR 6200 on my own.
In the meantime, I've been looking at what I can do to replace the SR 6200 while I wait for Lenbrook to address the issue. I'm counting on this taking a while. Even if they leave me high and dry, I'll have to go through the process of selling my 6200, and maybe there isn't anything "dropout-audio-delay" free that I can afford, so during all this, I need something to use in the meantime. I can live without 6.1, DPL II and Circle Surround for now. I have seen a Marantz SR 7000 advertised for sale within 1 hours drive. I like the idea of good sound quality and no digital dropouts. Also saw an Marantz SR 8000 for sale but it is in the US.
I assume that at the very least, the 7000 will sound as good as the 6200, and yes, I imagine better than the 6200. Will the 8000 sound better than the 7000 by much?
The SR 7000 is local and can likely be had for less money than the SR 8000, which is in California, so needs shipping and customs and all that hassle.
Any comments on the differences?
thanx
