As I have posted in another thread, my marantz Sr6005 works normally for 1.5 hours and then goes silent even though the functions including display etc work normally even then. Service centre has stated that it cant be repaired as the model is old.
In case I am unable to fix this, will have to look for a new AVR. My natural preference is for Marantz - but am having second thoughts given product issues (malfunctioning) especially as AVRs are now very expensive. I am wondering if I should go for Marantz or switch to either a Denon or Yamaha.
I am looking for a good AVR, having a pre amp out that pairs up well with my Monitor Audio Silver speakers and also is reliable. I do not have any experience with Yamaha, but wondering if a) its performance is good/better vs. Marantz and b) its more reliable. Any suggestions will be helpful. Also wanted to get a sense on pricing these days.
