|
JeremyS Unregistered guest | What are you talking about? Those are the right model numbers and their prices are atleast fair. If your going to bash, get your facts straight. I bought a pronto tsu7500 there and have not had any problems. Service was great and the price was too. |
|
guest poster Unregistered guest | If you want to call list prices[or darn close] fair then go ahead. I find these prices to be closer to outrageous. BTW, such blatant ad posts have been frowned on here for years. If you want to advertise, pay for it. |

Silver Member Username: ChitownPost Number: 550 Registered: Apr-05 | Well JeremyS, or whoever you are working for this outfit, I'm glad you were able to fix the Marantz page before responding. Nobody would have paid you $4000 for a SR8500 next to a picture of an SR9600. |

Gold Member Username: Edster922Abubala, Ababala The Occupation Post Number: 3401 Registered: Mar-05 | Nucklehead, actually no, the stupendously sublime Panasonic sa-xr55 is not a dollar less expensive, more like HUNDREDS of dollars less expensive than many clunky fat-@ssed and obsolete analog receivers like yours that it handily crushes in sound quality. LOL darling, you need to brush up on your arithmetic there! |
|
Silver Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 741 Registered: Dec-04 | Thanks for the math insight Ed. BTW, I am not darling, however you might find that fitting into your vernunculation. And if that POS could touch my Rotel nearly as much as you touch yourself, it might not need so much provocation to perform. Pip Pip. Cheerio You seem to forget, I actually HEARD the Phanny, and it is a POS. IN CAPS. |

LOL No one is more ignorant than this edster guy, I swear NO-ONE ! My God! For real edster, have you EVER heard a good system? Have you? Boy, I am worried about you! lol Do you realize that what you own is a very low budget system?  Nothing wrong being a guy with limited resources but you sure have a hard time keeping things in perspective. |

Anonymous | Sorry to bust your bubble, edster, but the Sonic T-amp is a thousand times better than the Panny. And it only costs $30. |

Anonymous | oy, don't confuse me with this Vader loser! |

Dixon Unregistered guest | Gentlemen, I enjoyed your banter immensely, but I am curious if anyone can assist me. I have a Denon AVR3300 that tends to clip after about 3 hours of relatively light service. Mirage fronts, center, rears and SW. The unit will reset and clip again after approx 10 min. Is a component going weak in the power supply output? I am considering the Marantz SR8500 as an upgrade. Pros or Cons? Thanks. |

Silver Member Username: Riches1Atlanta, GA US Post Number: 190 Registered: Apr-04 | Dixon. Tell my how you have your AVR mounted. Do you have it in rack system? I had a similar problem with an H/K years back and it was because the cabinet space was too small to allow it to ventilate. Could you have a similar problem? |
|
Dixon Unregistered guest | Riches1, thanks for replying. The unit sits isolated in the TV stand beneath the TV -no back on the stand, almost a foot of space above and to either side. Should be more than adequately ventilated. I have considered adding a small fan to assist in cooling. Next step will be to eliminate individual speakers and attempt to isolate channels that may be heating up. Thanks again. |

cmexec Unregistered guest | Dixon: I hope you can resolve your issue with the Denon. However, if you still want some insight on the Marantz SR-8500, then (from a 8500 user for about a year): I am satisfied with the quality and performance of the SR8500. It has a warm but detailed sound (paired with DefTech Mythos for 2-chan stereo). It is great with both stereo and multi-channel/surround. I certainly prefer the sound of the Marantz compared to my previous Yamaha RX-Z1. In terms of things I did not like about the SR8500, they are:[copied from a post I made at www.avsforum.com] o Auto-setup feature (M.R.A.C) does not perform room EQ, only speaker size, phase, delay and levels. o Digital A/V = DVI instead of HDMI (i.e. video-only) o Pure direct mode bypasses subwoofer usage o The 4 component inputs onboard are unassignable o No digital SACD/DVD-Audio inputs o Inputs cannot be renamed o Lipsync delay function operates globally for all inputs instead of individually for each input o Can only send composite video to zone 2 o Does not include any of those synthesized surround modes (e.g. HALL, DISCO, STADIUM etc.) - although I prefer it without them! However, despite the lacking features, IMO the sound and build quality of the SR-8500 does not disappoint. |

Dixon Unregistered guest | cmexec, Thanks for the detailed reply. Some extremely interesting points to consider. Enjoyed the link to avsforum as well. |
