Hey,
In Mumbai, "The Shop" at Andheri quoted me 16K for the 340A SE. I am not aware of the price for Marantz SR301. If budget is a real constraint for you, like it's for me right now, then keep looking for a post in the "For Sale" section, or better, post one in the "Wanted" section. You never know, someone just might have what you are looking for..
And if you want to use the Amp for watching movies also, then it will make sense to go for an AVR.
