Good deal Great sound high_ end features good power. Set up. well take your time. And enjoy.
The marantz sr4002 is the best in its price range. Surround sound is great and packs a good punch.
Plus, I did not want to anger my neighbors so I opted for some components that will deliver clear, quailty sound.When researching receivers, I had a few particular things to keep in mind:1) $300-400 budget2) Quality build3) HDMI - specifically a receiver that does both VIDEO/AUDIOConnections:I had my Time Warner Cable box, PS3 all connected to Marantz and then the HDMI out to the Samsung LCD. I just recently got into the audiophile world and I have been making numerous upgrades to my home theater. NOTE that you cannot access the OSD through HDMI, but it can be easily done through component for easy setup.Picture quaily and audio quality are not effected by the HDMI hookups to the receiver and out to the TV.Sports look fantastic, blu-ray movies are jaw dropping and the Marantz delivers great sound. The sound on my Samsung LN40A550 was terrible and to really bring out the full-value of this TV.you need great audio.I purchased a pair of Klipsch Synergy B-2 bookshelves, a Dayton sub-80 and this Marantz receiver.What can I say.these guys know what they're doing. They are industry leaders when it comes to the production of high-end receivers.This was my first home theater build and I live in a small apartment so my budget was pretty scarce. It doesn't hurt that this is one great looking receiver as well.For someone on a budget and who wants good features in a receiver, I highly recommend the Marantz SR4002. You will not regret this purchase.
Great receiver. pretty easy to get up and running and the remote controls my TV, so at least I can get rid of one remote. The only problem is that I can't use my HDMI cable to view the set up screen, otherwise excellent in every way. Movies and music sound terrific. I bought it for$500.00 and considered it well worth it. I will buy Marantz in the future.
The remote can be "taught" from other remotes and the HDMI switching is easy. I did a lot of research and listening to different receivers before making my final decision. I ended up buying the Marantz because of it's excellent sound quality and features. At first I didn't think it would have enough power to drive my Paradigms, but I was wrong. It delivers a clean power to them that fills my house with beautiful sound.
