Uhmm... that thing about power is surprising me. I have a Marantz SR6200 which is claimed to have lots (more or less) of watts and it sounds nice and low at reasonable levels. However I'm running also a 2 channel amp Puccini which is rated at 40 watts per channel only and I can tell that it...

I think I can help a litle here. I have a 6200, but prior to that tried a 4200 and a 5200. I send both units back to the store because they didn't sound as good as I wanted them to sound. The 5200 was better than the 4200, but worse than the 5200. Believe me, if you want to use it for music...

Hi again, well the player has been running for 10 months at an average of 1-2 hours per day, so I would say breaking-in it's not an issue. You may wonder why didn't I notice anything before... well that's because 3 weeks ago I replaced my speakers with much better ones. I can now hear things in...

True. fifteen days they say... not a big issue since I still have my old CD player, so I can listen to my favourite records in the meantime at least. But think the other way around... I check by myself with the multimeter and there are two possible ssceneraios: 1- Readings are normal. What...

@Chu Gai, thanks for the advices. Looks like you are right, but I can not check that myself with a multimeter: the warranty of the player has not expired yet and I do not want to open it. It is easieer for me to send it for repair (or check) at no cost. Furthermore, I have another dvd player...

Aha. I've already noticed that the digital output sounds louder than the analog one because I can connect both terminals to the amp (receiver in this case) and switch from one to the other. But then I tried to listen both at the same level (by adjusting the volume) and still find important...

Hi everybody, I have a question but I'm not sure this is the right forum to post. Anyway here it goes. I have a Marantz receiver, a 6200, and a Marantz DVD player, the 4100OSE. I bought this DVD because the dealer I work with told me it has great DACS and it is very good for music. I can...

Hi folks, just wanted to know your opinion about the following. I recently purchased new speakers (PMC TB2) which I have connected to my Marantz SR6200 receiver. i use that for music and HT, let's say 60% music and 40% HT. Speakers are still breaking-in and sound better everyday, but now I'm...

Oh guys you are being quite helpfull... all of you. You know, this is the first time I spend big money on speakers (big money at least for me :) ) and I'd like to be sure of what I have. I must say that I do believe in break-in. Actually I didn't believe in it until I brought my TB2 home. When...

@gregD, I appreciate very much your comments, as I did with the rest of the posters who replied here. One thing that surprises me the most is what you say about the PMCs time to break in... according to the manual, only 10 to 20 hours are required to run them in. I don't know exactly for how...

Thanks everybody for the advice. However, I have some restrictions. i can not do special room treatment because the equipment is right at the living room, and I can not modify it heavily. Concerning the source, and if you look at the Marantz site, you'll see that the OSE (Original Second...

Thanks to everybody. I start to play with speaker positioning, but that means building new stands. i'll do that this weekend... And yes, I've tried to use the DACS in the receiver and the DACS in the DVD, and even though there's a difference between the two DACS, it is not really that different...

Hi Brian, thanks for the advice... you know, it can be frustrating when you spend your bucks in good equipment but you don't get it to work at its best... even worse if you know it can sound as if you were in heaven! I will play with all this. For exemple speaker positioning. You know, I can...

Hi folks, just a question for you experienced guys. I have a Marantz SR6200 receiver and I'm happy with it. Last saturday I went to the shop and purchased a couple of PMC TB2 speakers, which sounded astonishingly good to my ear. Perfect sound stage, very detailed music etc etc... Then I brought...

Nobody wants to say anything :frowning: ?
