Marantz7005 or Denon AVP for movies only-

I have the Marantz 7005 -I also have a separate 2 channel system- I currently am running a 7.4 system- I have the 7005 and the Oppo 93 running video directly to my PJ-but was wondering if the AVP would sound better for movies-My room is professionally treated and again just want the best sound I can get from my system for movies- =Opinions appreciated

Kr4, good points, the Marantz 8801 would be the best option as Denon does not make anything in current processors these days.

Although I guess an option with Denon would be the AVR 4520i, which can do everything on your list as it is the receiver version of the Marantz 8801, and 1100 less.

So if I was to be able to pick up a used AVP for the same price as the 8801 would you still go with the 8801 -again just want the best sound for movies- thanks

I'd go with the Marantz if only for the new purchase warranty
and the likelihood of current updates.

Besides, whatever sonic differences there are among any of the
mentioned processors, they are truly minor compared to the
differences among speakers, rooms and configurations. It is
hard to go really wrong here if you get the features you want.
