Cool. Never heard the yamys aventage series. But in my opinion.. Marantz sounds so natural.
did you experiment pairing with emotiva poweramp and then directly yamaha without emotiva, ?
in your opinion which is sounds good in stereo mode..?

I did not have time honestly to do a with and without Emotiva. Cause anyways I would be using the power amp so didn’t feel the need to experiment.
A Marantz is a Marantz yes. Smooth sounding. But this Yamaha has poise. I can really open up the volume comfortably and it doesn’t even break a sweat.
Eddie, I put the sub in the other corner just for trying it. And then ran YPAO. It sounds better this way. The sub seems more integrated with the system than isolated. Have kept the tone controls on like u had set.
Next month, SVS sub

I have tried that in my setup, with Marantz 7010 and Schiit Vidar power amp, since Schiit being 100Wpc and Marantz is 125Wpc 2Ch driven ; the difference wasn't much. I liked addition of Power Amp for 2 ch music listening, but for movies the difference was barely audible.
Interestingly Marantz did not apply Audessey settings for front channels whenever it was calibrated with power amp!
Even many settings of Dynastic EQ were not available when power amp was used. I just dropped the power amp from the chain and I'm using Marantz only for movies.
That is interesting. So i suppose audessy thinks the front speakers are not connected, and calibrates the only ones that are. Wonder if YPAO does the same thing.

Uday, I ran the YPAO with the power amp connected. It ran it perfectly. Only think was that the tone levels were slightly higher as well. But I ran and re-ran it 3 times and all three times it gave me nearly the same readings.

Haha no yaar. Both are different. I'm getting used to it now slowly. Does the amp take some time to burn in or is it a myth?
Well some say it's a myth, as others say we simply get used to the sound....take your pick.
I think its not a myth its fact, it will take time to sound settle to your liking and pleasure you more and more...

I honestly feel sometimes it's like a placebo effect. We hear what we want to hear. Having said that, my amp and tv runs for about 6 hours a day. So I'm going to get super fast burn in!
Hmm that's interesting. I did not see that happen when I used a nad amp with my marantz nr series as both a power amp as well as integrated. As long as the mic hears the pink noise, it should not matter whether the speakers are directly connected or via a Poweramp. Could it be audyssey version dependent?

You really need a poweramp? as your 7010 avr is very powerful and capable ,categorised in Marantz highend avrs...any specific reason for adding power amp to 7010 avr?
