Upgrading my Home Theater hardware. Ordered the Onkyo RZ50 which is coming next week but and still trying to decide between the Emotiva BasX A3 and the Marantz MM7205 to power the Fronts (and maybe Center).
Here are some specs:
Emotiva BasX A3 ($499) 3-Channel
Marantz MM7205 ($999) 2-Channel
Any opinions on whether the Marantz amp is better than the Emotiva amp? I don't mind paying more if I'm actually getting better quality and better sounds. It's worth noting that the Emotiva components are manufactured in China and the Marantz is made in Japan. Will be powering Polk Audio 8 Ohms speakers.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
