NAD T 747 vs. Marantz SR6005

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.

NADs receivers sound great but are plagued by reliability and service issues.

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.

I'v owned both. The Marantz 6005 lasted less than 1 month and it would just sit there and blink. when it worked it sounded decent. I returned it and Bought a T747. The 747 sounds better for 2 chan music, Has better power and is still working.The 6005 does have more bells and whistles though for HT.
