SKU: SR7500

Manufacturer: Marantz America Inc.

Manufacturer description

The SR7500 is a non-compromise digital surround receiver, built to excel in movie and music reproduction, functionality and ergonomics. It also features THX Select certification, which means that you'll hear movie soundtracks exactly as the director and sound editor intended. You'll hear the Marantz touch brought by using the finest capacitors, resistors, and other internal components. Seven 105-watt "Current Feedback" amplifiers deliver immediacy and impact. Marantz Room Acoustic Calibration corrects the acoustic variables in every home theater system by analyzing your room with microprocessor accuracy and correcting for anomalies. The SR7500's video pedigree derives from format conversion with Line Memory and Time Base Correction to eliminate artifacts that mar reproduction on today's "fixed pixel" monitors. Other features include a pre-programmed learning remote, front panel A/V inputs, RS-232 port for touch-screen control, 2 direct IR inputs, and 2 DC "triggers" for custom installation applications.

Great Sound

Pros: Incredibly Clear Sound

Cons: a bit more complicated then cheaper receivers

Review: The first thing I noticed when I used this receiver was how clear it sounds. You can really hear everything. Its not bright sounding or dull. Just really clear and energetic. I have the Paradigm Monitor speakers and the difference this receiver makes it awsome. I used to have the Onkyo TX-SR 601 which was okay, but it really cant compare to the Marantz. The Marantz is a lot more powerful to if you like to crank it which I do.
