Upgrade from Onkyo 605 - Blu-ray Forum

Digity · 10-08-2009, 02:40 AM

I am looking at upgrading my receiver from the Onkyo 605. anybody have any opinions? I'm using 7.1 speakers and watch 80% movies 20% music. I'm thinking of Marantz sr5003 or Denon 1910 primarly...

What speakers and sub are you running, and what's prompting the upgrade?

Monitor Audio RS8 mains, RSLCR centers, RS1 surrounds. I wanted to upgrade because I know eventually I would need pre outs for an external amp. Plus the Onkyo gets hot and the switching is annoying (clicking noise)

You aren't going to find preouts on the Denon, and the Marantz is a solid receiver. That's where my vote goes.

I agree with JasonR. Of the two you listed I would recommend the Marantz as well. However there are other good choices out there. What's your budget for this upgrade?
