Your Decision will have an effect on my choice. They are about the same price to me. I do however want Denon's 6.1 rather than the Marantz 5.1

Please post what you would choose if you had a choice between the two mentioned above. Lets say I had mid-ranged quality speakers like infinity...

Tooo much $ for me... The marrantz is a really good deal at the same cost as a denon 485s, its that 6th channel I want...

DuckmanX,

Edster asked for your budget.
If you can tell us the approximate dollar amount for the two you are considering, we can see whether there are better allternatives out there for you.

If you're into movies, and have a room that will accomodate 6 or 7.1, you should go that route. It makes a difference and adds to the movie experience.

My budget is sub $200 US, I am afraid I am only contemplating on those two... the Marrantz is from a guy moving and needs to shed the weight, the Denon is being shipped to me. I could always return the denon, but I am really drooling over 6.1

Thanks all.
