Marantz 7008 or Yamaha Aventage A-2040

[Miker107]

Good evening all,

I've decided to upgrade from my current Integra 40.3 receiver and will need to decide between the Marantz 7008 or the Yammy Aventage RX-A2040. I will be swinging by my local bestbuy next week, which has recently acquired a Magnolia shop, which I'm pretty excited about. I will be auditioning these units but wondered if anyone had any thoughts about which of these units would be better with my current speaker configuration, which is the Energy RC 10's and RC LCR center. I don't plan on a speaker upgrade at this point.
From the reviews I've read the Yammy has a very clear and detailed sound which might work well with my Energy RC's. However, I'm thinking I might like to stick with audyssey XT32 calibration system vs YPAO. I'm torn at the moment between these 2 units. Any thoughts?
