I'm a disappointed owner of a second defective Marantz SR-6200 and will most likely ask the dealer for a refund. I'm looking for alternatives and have basically narrowed it down to the following:
Yamaha RX-V1200
Onkyo 797
Denon 2802
I would consider other makes, but my minimum requirements are 6.1 and DPL II, which all of the above have. I'm not willing to spend more for higher-end models, so 7.1 and THX-Ultra are overkill at this point.
Specifically, what I'm looking for are opinions on the sound and build quality, with good video switching. The Marantz, for all of its faults, has absolutely supurb stereo sound. I listen to music 60% of the time, and I don't want to choose a receiver with inferior sound.
