I'll be very interested in the input you receive as I am looking at the the Marantz. I'm having trouble coming up with plan B, except the Integra DHC 80.2. Have you considered that one?
Well, I haven't gotten any response yet. The Integra costs a lot more and I am not that big of a videophile so it is difficult to justify that. The Marantz AV7005 does look promising though. I just don't know what the downside is. I wish some owners can share their experiences so I can make a more informed decision.
just received a 7005; never had Marantz before; hooked it all up, including hdmi from directv sat box; and had a horrible ground loop hum; not there when I had Meridian gear and hd621 switch to handle combined ht and two channel..tried to trouble shoot, keep coming back to Marantz piece; they are going to send me replacement; not yet arrived; so I 'm not sure if problem is Marantz 7005 or sat box...but it looks great....
