Yes, I am using the av 7005 processor, with a MM7055 power amp, and a dedicated 2 channel stereo amp with ht bypass for front channels. So far, I really like the 7005 - I just got it 2 months ago.

What are your questions?

Sing $3000, plus Rs. 18K duty.

Performance is awesome - I really like the Processor. Video is beautiful, audio is as good as can be expected from DSP.

What is lacking in your existing setup? This may help decide if 7005 is the best option to go for.

Hi I just checked in Singapore and Marantz SR7005 is sellingfor S$1500. I am surprised that you have purchased for S$3000 !

I think he's talking about the combo 7005 + 7055 for S$3000. I had called Alpha Audio Singapore a month back requesting rate and they gave price of S$ 3300 for the above combo. It probably goes down further with negotiation.

Even I'm considering the AV7005. It was available in Alpha audio for S$1900 when my friend had enquired. Figuring out how to get it over. May go for UMC-1 if it doesnt work out.

Could you share where you got the price of S$ 1500 for the SR7005 in Singapore? The SR and AV7005 are supposed to be almost same price.
TIA

This interests me too. What is the price being quoted in India, and is it likely to be replaced by a new model from marantz?

@anm
The last I inquired there was a pretty steep rate of Rs.1,10,000 quoted by one of the official distributors, Cinerama bangalore. You might want to check with dealers of Marantz in Delhi. Please do inform if you get a good deal.

From other forums there seems to be an AV8005 on the anvil but not sure when its being released. I guess it should be towards the beginning of next year with the supplies from Japan on existing models limping back to normalcy after the quake.
