Marantz CINEMA 50 9.4 channel reciever - Blu-ray Forum

We just received Marantz's very first allocation/shipment of the new CINEMA 50 9.4 channel receiver and CINEMA 70 7.2 channel slim receiver.

We are LOVING these new receivers and I'm setting up the CINEMA 50 in our store theater demo room with our 5.4.4 Dolby Atmos/DTS:X audio system and Sony's VPL-XW7000ES Native 4K HDR Laser projector.

I'm getting pretty interested in this AVR.

There is also the Sony STR-AZ5000ES that I'd been looking at, but I keep going back to this Cinema 50.

The Sony is $2100 USD and becomes $3000 CAD.
I wonder if the Cinema 50 is comparable, price wise?

(This would be my first foray away from Yamaha which I've been with for a couple of decades.)
