Marantz SR6005

$1,000.00 Released July, 2010

The Pros:Stunning full-bodied life-like sound reproduction. Easy to use color GUI that overlays for real-time picture adjustment. Beautiful aesthetic - brushed aluminum finish looks clean and professional, doesn't gather dust or fingerprints.

The Cons:Included remote is adequate, but nothing special - many superior 3rd party remotes available. High price point - arguably lower value for your money than cheaper alternatives from other manufacturers.

The Marantz SR6005 is an AV receiver built to enable flexibility between devices. It has the features of the Marantz SR5005, but also includes a 2nd subwoofer pre-out in addition to the 7.1 channel pre-outs and a 2nd audio zone.
