Hi All,
I need to replace my ailing Pioneer SC-1523 Receiver. My old LSi speaker system is 4 ohm. I am pulled between getting a Marantz 6013 with AB amps or the Pioneer SC-701 with Class D3 Amps. I have a sales person telling me I would be making a mistake by getting away from the Class D3 amps having the 4 ohm speakers. I just do not like the MACC Calibration on the Pioneer. The 701 has MACC Pro and may be better. I like the Audessey Cal used on my Onkyo in the Den which Marantz also uses. I live in north Florida and there are no experts except those I contact online. Just getting pulled and I really need to get this receiver that I am setting up with 4 Sony SCEC Atmos speakers.
Ant thoughts are appreciated
