Thread: Marantz SR6004 AV Receiver

Hi there, My system is made up of Marantz SR6004, paired with Focal Chorus 806V for front speakers, and Monitor Audio Radius 90HD, 180HD, 370 subwoofer to form the surround system. The front bookshelf speakers were chosen to be a bit larger than R90HD (not a tall-boy though) because I wanted to make no compromise in stereo music. I mostly leave it source direct. I tend to get bored with fancy sound options after trying them out for a while....

Many thanks folks for taking the time to reply. Marantz it is so! Have always liked Marantz products so all I have to do now is to convince the financial controller to replace the recently acquired Sony amp with the Marantz one. Many thanks again

The nanny state in the UK doesn't like banana plug because they believe people will plug them into a mains sockets! For this reason, amplifiers have banana sockets bunged up, usually with bit of removeable plastic. Don't know about the Marantz but with my yammy I had to insert a wood screw into the post, give it a half turn to get some grip and yank the bung out.

I'm sure ye probably know already but as far as i know the Marantz cannot decode the hd sound formats and run audyessy at the same time. (or something like that) Not sure if you consider this a problem or not but just to let ye know.
