I bought this a couple of weeks ago from the Plymouth store and received fantastic service from Paul and the team. I had done a lot or prior research and knowing that I was going to team up the new AV receiver to Monitor Audio Bronze 2 and Bronze Centre (purchased at the time) speakers many...

Good sound and features. I use it with a set of Bose Acoustimass 10's. Really good sound production.

I bought the Marantz to upgrade my 10 year old Onkyo AV. I purchased it as my requirements were quite specific - I required 4k capability, a reasonable "narrow" case to fit into an av stand, sufficient hdmi sockets to be future proofed and a radio. Well I got the lot!
