Yamaha RX-V1 vs Marantz SR-19

Hi,
I want to buy a receiver for both music and movie. I just need a receiver which have 5 channels, so the number of channel of the RX-V1 is not my concern. My concern is which one will give better sound quality? Please let me know what do you guys think?
Thanks a lot.

They sound very different. Only your ears can guide you. However,I owned the SR 19 and if I didn't want to move to seven channels, I'd have kept it. A B&K replaced it but I still miss the sweet Marantz sound of the SR 19.

Thanks for your response, Mt10425. I love the detailed and warm sound. The RX_V1 has a lot of features to compare with the marantz. However, the marantz is THX certified and the RX-V1 is not. Does the THX certified really mean that the device has better quality? Thanks for all response.
