wilbee Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I think the above 3 are in the same price range of between 500-700 right? Which of the above would be a good bet? The marantz 5200/6200, the Denon 1802 or the Yammie 730? please advise as i have really not much exp. in the recievers of new like the abovementioned. Any input or even personal opinions would be greatly appreciated. thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancelot Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I think Marantz SR5200 is the cheapest of the lot at ard $600. Yamaha RXV730 cost ard $800. The marantz is value for money among the 3. IMO, Yamaha packs more punch in their receivers when it comes to HTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I bought my Marantz 6200 at $730. You will love the circle surround mode. Its only $30 off your budget. you should seriously consider it. Plus you get 110wx6 and DTS 6.1. Way more than the models you were considering..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilbee Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 i was hoping really that the 3802 hits abt 1k and that will be the one to get. Well at least it should be when the 3803 comes out. Is there alot of difference between the 6200 and the 5200? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xian Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 SR5200 75wx6 SR6200 110wx6 Circle Surround Bigger Remote SR7200 110x6 Circle Surround Multi Room Capable LCD on Remote More outputs Component Switching (I really needed that because RCA to Svideo converted quality is really bad) I think thats it. Maybe you should get the SR7200. I regretted not getting that. It was over my budget anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbchoong Posted August 9, 2002 Share Posted August 9, 2002 Don't think the 3802 will ever drop to $1k. Maybe stock clearance units (demo sets, scratched units, 2nd hand, etc.) but not the normal units. When 3803 comes out, 3802 price will drop a bit and then production will stop completely and then you won't even be able to buy it. Cause they will not allow it to affect the 3803 sales. ;D i was hoping really that the 3802 hits abt 1k and that will be the one to get. Well at least it should be when the 3803 comes out.
