AVR for best movie experience

[Murlidher]

Good saj. I was reading some freezing/locking up issues on some of the best buy / amazon reviews. Are you OK with the Marantz 5009 so far? so you intent to sell denon 1912?

Yet to receive it but I talked to HiFiMART.com guy.. He said he did not have such issues yet and we can upgrade it's firmware

Yes will look to sell my 1912

great.. share your experience post setting it up... congrats...

okay guys, got my sr5009 in 1 day...amazing delivery and price by hifimart...good that I checked it bcoz in Pune stores everyone was giving max 10% off but in hifimart got 20% off which is amazin deal for this great lill AVR

yes its an upgrade over my 1912...did audyssey and dynamic eq on just like 1912 but sound quality is very different

it seems audyssey implementation is different from different brand and marantz has got it right

with dynamic eq its true to theater experence not over bloated like in 1912

sub is well optimised with great powerfull effects

its more user friendly with ots of features I wll use like play flacs using dlna and als keep vid of any source running

watching HD channels on TV is great now also blurays and HD movies

overall quite impressed..

congrats saj. the most satisfying feature is the satisfaction that you get after the investment. good to know you are able to enjoy both music and movies with the marantz.

Its not Audyssey but different preamp stage and tuning of Marantz itself.

Yes, well both Denon and marantz have same Audyssey MultEQ xt but their implementation is quite different.. For example the dynamic EQ of marantz is quite subtle where as Denon was very loud and bloated... Also I like how they set the reference level of Audyssey balances center channel dialogue which I cared most and Sub normalization

i suggest that after 4-5 months, you turn off all equalization and see if you like the sound. I have a feeling the results might surprise you - but if you don't like you can always revert to your auto-eq

Check HiFiMART.com you will never get better deal that there

Guys anyone owning sr5009, pls let me know what is the firmware you are on, I checked for update but no update available

 

[elangoas]

I don't think there is a dedicated thread for Marantz AVR's here.. Suggest you to open a thread so other FM also could benefit from exchange of views....

Since its new model,FW update may not be available.

There is a huge discount going on in hifimart...got 5009 on 20 percent discount

now they have reduced it to 10%. Wondering on what basis they reduce the discount suddenly and increase it at later stage :indifferent14:

whoever planning to purchase has to keep waiting and depending upon his luck he would get a good price.

When I talked to him he said it was festive discount dependant on stock... 10 per is usually u also can get in local stores

20 per was really amazing lucky I got it
