Finally a silver AV receiver in my price range to replace my ageing Sony STR-DE497P and its got to be silver so i can sneak it into my setup and hopefully the better half wont notice.
£649? I've been holding out for some kind of reduction but none that I can see, as yet.

Always liked the slimline. Was thinking of replacing mine with the monster sr8015. Finding the slims under powered when running all speakers.
Don't get me wrong, these are very good units. I'm on my third one. I just find that driving 7 speakers is pushing it. Find the volume level is over 2 thirds of the way to get it going with big action movies. I'm only running Kef's 3005 egg speakers. I just fancy the big monster unit on my next upgrade and when it drops in price a little. When its around £2k, then I'm game on.Hmm, if I go for the 1711, what sort of challenges did you face with power? I have a pair of Q Acoustics 3020i, a 3090ci and generic satellites, coupled with BK sub, used for combination of music and movies.
Cheers. I'll be upgrading from a 10yr old Denon AVR1610 which I believe is only slightly more powerful so might not notice much change.Don't get me wrong, these are very good units.

I hooked one up and had a listen to it yesterday. I have a pretty small living room about 3.5 x 4m and decent sized Boston bookshelf monitors across the front of the system. I really liked it. The set-up was brilliantly simple and it was very functional to use. I thought that the sound processing was excellent and it genuinely had a really very musical sound, it was drawing my attention to the soundtrack of the movies I was demoing as opposed to the effects. I thought it handled playback of my turntable surprisingly well too, although I was listening through my Rega phono pre-amp and not the on board phono input.Anyone found a decent review as need a review before i bite the bullet on this.
Hi, if using with proper power amp as pre out (so power is handled correctly) are here, is there any disadvantages with comparing with bigger marantz brothers?
I think they do it to make the power figure look much better than it is.Why do so many manufacturers of AV gear quote such pointless power outputs? 4 ohm, 1%THD 1ch driven is just a way of making a power figure look much better than it is.
