I am running Triton sevens with a super center X. I am using Aon 2's as surrounds and running SVS subwoofers. I am very pleased. I wish the Triton 5's had been out when I bought these but the Sevens sound awesome. Best sound stage and imaging I have heard.

bambam841 wrote: @ Rick, or anybody else with knowledge of Marantz gear. I was close to my final decision being an Anthem AVR. However I have swung back to Marantz. I have a few ideas and need your input. #1 I could just go with the SR 7010. Which I'm confused about after researching. I thought that I read that it has 7 internal amps. Then I was looking at the specs and saw 125 watts w/2 channels driven. If it does in fact have 7 amps wouldn't it remain 125 across all channels? Bottom line question would it be enough to power not just the 3.1 system of T5's and XLR center that I currently have. But also when I get two more T5's for rears, and maybe even Atmos speakers? #2 go with a Marantz NR 1606 which is only 50W X 7, and just get a 5 channel Marantz or Emotiva XPA-5amp for the power. Just using the Marantz as a processor and maybe Atmos speaker power. Would there be a night and day difference in sound between those two setups ? Keeping in mind I don't have much $ and no credit (major open heart surgery and had no medical insurance. And no family my whole life) #1 costs $2,200 #2 $1700 your thoughts please
Hi, bambam841
RE the Marantz SR 7010, it has 9 amped channels, plus 2 sub pre-outs and 2 more channel pre-outs. Yes, wattage ratings can be confusing. NAD is one of the few that show continuous watts per channel, 20 HZ - 20,000 HZ, all channels driven. What I can tell you is that the Marantz SR 7010 has been, for me, an extremely competent AVR with plenty of power. It is completely unbashful about sending full, rich bass to each channel. The NAD it replaced wasn't as willing to do so. I have an external NAD 2 channel amp driving the fronts, a holdover from when I thought I needed it with the NAD receiver. I'm not so sure I would have made the same decision if I had started with a Marantz SR 70XX. IMHO it has beefy amps that could handle your power needs with all your future additions, with no external amp help and with great sound quality.
Re how SR 7010 sound quality would stack up against using a Marantz NR 1606 with either Marantz or Emotiva external amps (or vs. the Anthem AVR you were considering), I don't have direct experience with the NR 1606 or Anthem vs. the SR 7010. I would venture a guess that all three options would deliver good sound quality, but what would please you most depends a lot on your listening preferences. Any chance you can audition those options?? I doubt you would be disappointed with any of those choices.
