NAD T 747 vs. Marantz SR6005


Should I expect a significant difference in sound quality between these two receivers? I can find the T 747 for a small amount more than the SR6005 brand new, but don't have a chance to audition the NAD.

I expect they will sound similar. I've owned the T747 and heard the SR6005. Both good choices. I'd give the edge to the T747 personally.
I perfer the NAD sound wise but also depends alot on yhe speakers your using what matches them best.
Having owned previous generations of BOTH NAD "74x" & "75x" series, Marantz "500x" & "600x"...I give the nod to Marantz.

You will be pleased with sound quality of both receivers. However, NAD 747 is more comparable to Marantz 5005. Marantz 6005 compares to NAD 755.

Marantz arguably has better reliability more relevant HT features dollar for dollar.

For price of Marantz 5005, I can add an external 2 channel amp performance that will BLOW away both "747" & "6005"...something to think about.
