    I have been in to car audio and Home Theater since the early 90's and have been through around 7 different receivers in that time, but by far this is the most advanced and beautiful sounding of them all. Read more

    Purchased one 5 month ago, had random HDMI swicthing off and on, didn't matter which one out of the four. Tried to update SW, but timed out (Comcast), so took it back and got a replacement. Read more

    • Sound quality is amazing, the video processinng is top notch, the Audissey is realy working, the Rhapsody interface is decent.
    • HDMI input shutdown/resets randomly, wireless connection is minimal at best, still need to use the LAN, timeout on software updates with Comcast, main remote inteface is a headache, the update for Rhapsody is extra cost.

    Hi This is my first tme to ask questions I am considering a new amp, music being my priority. If music is my priority should I go for the Marantz SR 9600 AVRR the newer Denon 4308 ? If Home Theater was the top priority it would be the 4308 no question. However traditionally Marantz has had the rep for build quality and finre music. But things change over time. I realise the Marantz is getting a couple of years old now. Brett

    I WOULD GO FOR THE DENON FOR LISTENING TO MUSIC THAN MOVIES. IT HAS SOME RARE DSP SETTINGS LIKE "NEURAL" WHICH ENHANCES LISTENING PLEASURES. ALSO THE INTERNET RADIO, HD RADIO AND SATELLITE RADIO IS AN ADDED BONUS
