    Excellent Pre-Pro

    I took a chance on this processor and I have not regretted it. I've been using this in my 7.2.4 home theater for the past two years and it does a great job. I see no need to upgrade anytime soon as it comes loaded with so many features. It works great out of the box but you get the best out of it after you calibrate it. Get the paid MultiEQ app and use that to calibrate it for the best performance. I paired this with some Emotiva amps to drive my speakers.

    Marantz AV7706

    One word, amazing. I am impressed. Well worth the money I had Marantz SR7011 with was a good receiver, I decided to try separate, because I’m a Marantz fan, I decided to go with Marantz AV7706 and MM8077, best decision, the sound AMAZING. I love the sound so much that now I’m spending way more time in the basement than with my wife. LOL

    Best Balanced output receiver for the money

    One of the best balanced output receivers for the money. With the HDMI 2.1 and HDCP 2.2 & 2.3 it’s also future proof for a long while. The 4K upscaling is incredible and works flawlessly. Can’t speak to the 8K as I do not have an 8K TV. I’m running a 5.1.2, the .2 at the end is for my 2 atmos height channels and boy do they make a difference, so much I’m adding in 2 more for the rear! You’re not going to find a better Receiver with all its features for the money. I was looking a Emotiva but couldn’t justify the $4-5K price. Purchase this one, you will be happy you did!
