And Callas01 i checked the book and it says its 110 watts, 8 ohms, and less than 0.9% thd. It says the receiver is Onkyo HT-R550

So what pioneer receiver would be equivalent to the Marantz 5003?

That is a very good reason to get the receiver first.

Do you mean equivalent in price or in quality/performance?
