How does this compare to the Marantz SR7008 in terms of sound quality?

Matt, in my opinion you can't go wrong with either one but from what I have read, the 7008 is a step above the Denon. Here is a link to a review I read: http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/marantz-sr5008-sr6008-sr7008 I have not installed a new 7008 so I cannot give you an opinion based on personal experience... Hope this helps. Brad

The Denon has better DACs, better build quality, more robust amp section, and ability to do 11.2 channels.

That's not as easy to answer as you might think. Both are very sophisticated receivers, and both companies have a kind of brand identity despite being owned by the same parent company. The devices handling the input are even more important as are your speakers and room arrangements. I owned a Marantz in the past and was very satisfied. I feel the Denon is excellent and even a more precise sound quality but I added much better peripherals such as an Oppo Blue Ray. Having said that I'm sure both would do: it's just a matter of personal taste at this price point.

The sound quality on this one is much better than the m55. I like it because no matter where I'm at it still has a large range and sound is awesome on both ends! Very affordable for such a nice product! Hope that helps.....

My personal preference would be the Marantz cd 5004. Both are very good cd players but I just trust the Marantz more. It has superior sound for the money and the build quality is excellent. And it's packaged very well.

I had both.. returned the 701 q because the bumps are not comfortable after a while. I read that the 701q have a better bass reproduction.. But I could tell 0 difference in sound after many hours of testing.. went with k702 for comfort

Can't compare it to the 180 as I never had it. I like the RS 220. Beautiful sound, volume range fine, very rarely drops signal. Really brings out the depth in my vinyl, as well as adding something to digital music.

I really don't know for sure, since I have never heard the Marantz. The SONY came highly recommended having been listed as an A list component by Stereophile and Absolute Sound. The real decision make was a member of my audio society who imports SACDs from Japan told me that he and his custormers vastly prefer the SONY to other brands like Marantz and Yamaha. Some of the high priced stuff like MacIntosh and Esoteric may outperform it but apparently this can be exceeded by some of the aftermarket mods available for it.

If your speakers can handle it the 700 is awesome. I replaced a 30 year old kenwood and my old vinyl has never sounded better. I love this receiver.

I don't pay attention to the specs as much as I do to the actual performance. I will say this, I replaced my older Onkyo amp with this newer version because it's so much more quiet. I can't even tell when the power is on, but I could with my older version. I think you will be pretty impressed with the sound quality - especially if you are using a quality belt-drive turntable.

I don't know anything about the Yamaha. The Marantz is a good player, good sound and smooth functioning.

I listen to a lot of acoustic music and it seems to me they perform very well.I love trying to get a feel for the different instruments and have compared my 3 versions of Beethoven's 9th, a lot of Vivaldi, Miles Davis, Vince Guaraldi, and loads of prog rock and I must say I feel satisfied. Treebles sound clear and somehow I can feel some depth so treebles are "closer" to me than bass sounds. Bass is not bad, I have listened to some Daft Punk and similar, that music has a lot of bass beat and it sounds good. I cannot compare to cx300 Senheiser since my only in ear Senheisers are MX270 which are not as good. The bass sounds better in my ultimate ears 600vi and somehow in my classic Bose in ear, but the seal and external noise attenuation on the E10 is better than that on the Bose old model.

3602 is good but definitely 3908. I own both first having the 3602 then upgrading to the 3908 and they both were the money! Great sound range on the 3908 and it can get really loud

Thanks for your question. Incorporating significantly superior digital and analogue audio and video circuitry, the 7007 is a significantly better sounding and looking player on a system that is able to display these differences. This is a fantastic sounding player. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Marantz dealer.

I've never heard the Marantz consolette. I am obsessed with sound, and I read countless reviews on this. The most helpful advice I can give is that it is not sufficient to have as your main living room stereo, in a larger, more open room. That being said, I have brought this on 3 vacations to houses in Montauk, brought it to afterhours at my buddies apartment, who has a smaller living room, and it currently sits on my bedroom dresser. The sound is the best I've ever heard from a portable(ish) dock type unit. The lows are very crisp, it is accurate, and it far exceeds what any normal person would need for most rooms. Even in my living room, it's fine, as long as I don't have a full house of people and I don't try to make it the only source of sound for a party. I would HIGHLY recommend this unit.

Dude, it works well but you should give the speaker a better receiver:Marantz SR5008 7.2-Channel 1080P and 4K Ultra HD Pass Through, Networking Home Theater Receiver with AirPlay (Discontinued by Manufacturer)Whats your front speaker?

I never saw or heard the hm-700, but you can consider the re-400 ear pieces balanced, if colored sound is your concern. They are very lean on the bass, more mid-range focused. When my pair were burned in after about a week of use, they lost all the bass, I couldn't tolerate them, so they were returned. If you want analytic audio gear, you will love these.

Obviously depends on your budget amplifier and taste... Having said that, I prefer the warm tone, my setup is Marantz amplifier with Paradigm monitor 7 floor standing speakers and the setup sounds great. Consider JBL and Infinity on the low end, consider Paradigm, PSB, Wharfedale Diamond or B&W; if you have the budget.

I use my Marantz to drive B&w 805 nautilus with a b&w sub woofer. Sounds pretty good to me. Hope this helps
