A recent reviewer said, “First let me say that I never review anything . I have received good service from online retailers and never said a word. I had an 18 year old Marantz that died . I spent several weeks researching receivers. I seldom watch movies and listen mostly to music. I have pretty inadequate speakers . It is a wife issue. I almost did not buy since the last Marantz was 110 watts a channel. This receiver is in incredible. I am hearing music that I have never heard. ”
