I have A/B compared these two receivers on paper alot. Denon AVR 3311 and Marantz SR5005. The reason I am looking at these two models, is that they are the first in each line to have pre outs. The Denon is $1200 MSRP and the Marantz is $800.
There are significant differences of power and second subwoofer out, etc., but I'm just concerned with the two channel differences using another amp. What specifications can I compare that would justify the Denon over Marantz and the price difference? I'm only critical about my two channel end result. Both of these would be an improvement over my current home theater setup. I have a Denon now, but I'm not concerned about brand loyalty at this point.
I don't have an amp or ML yet.
