bought an SR7300ose today. it is a replacement for the NAD T762 which is also good but sounds different with some music cds i have.

xXx, seems you and the previous owner of my sr7300 went opposite directions. he sold me his marantz so he can switch to the T762. yun lang hindi OSE version yung kanya.

i second raycor's question: does marantz have a service center here?

I believe I had earlier posted something here about
Marantz and Denon having merged into the D&M Holdings company as of middle last year. So maybe Denon is the authorized distributor/service center in the phils.

Check the Marantz dealer site

http://www.marantz.com/p_dealers.cfm?continent=AM

which i think does not show the Philippines as one of their countries authroized for distribution.

akyat,
well its a matter of preference na nga as a both are great receivers. you can't be wrong either way. i just saw a glitch in the NAD (all models actually) that seems too simple to have been neglected by the engineers.

i dont know if there's an authorized service center there sa pinas as i bought mine here in toronto.

question guys: since i'm not using the 6th channel, how can i use it to bi-amp my center channel?

nels76 · « **Reply #455 on:** Oct 29, 2003 at 12:52 PM »

I am also having that kind of thought.

But I think it is impossible since the 6th channel is having a distinct output. And not the same with Center Channel.

I just don't know witht the Gurus here.

Maybe they have some ideas.

akyat,
P.S.

Thanks di ako iyong binabanggit mo sa post mo above.

Pre, thanks for the advice. I bought this model SR4400 just now which costs me almost 500sgd. But it comes with a free wireless surround headphone dahil 50th anniversary daw ng Marantz.

Did you buy it in Singapore?
Marantz also have this sgd$50 voucher which you can use til end of Dec 2003. Is the price after the discount voucher?

Pre, di ko pa nase-setup dahil sobrang busy sa opis. 2 weeks na nga akong walang amp so 2 weeks ng di nakakapanood. Pero definitely, mas inclined ang Marantz sa music.

Post ko by monday yung aking feedback.

JT · « **Reply #465 on:** Nov 07, 2003 at 09:21 AM »

Toshiba,
I managed to set it up last night pero di ko pa nako-configure yung mga channels. Yung tunog nya ngayon eh halos kapareho lang nung dati kong amp kasi di pa naka setup ng maayos.

Superman,
Pre, tips naman kung ano-ano yung pwede kong i set para mas maganda ang tunog.

Bhot,
Post ko this weekend.

akyatbundok,

Agree ako dyan! Kahit mapa-audio and Ht combined with your "exotic" integrated amp galeng.

Thanks again for hosting the session. Got to meet the other wonderful bros. in enjoying the day.

Thanks for your accommodation, galing ng Marantz mo bro mapa MS or MA ayos yung combi.

Galing din Marantz 7300 ni akyat sa Stereo.

Considering that the other great gears were there like:

- Sansui Amp
- Narayan's Musical Fidelity Amp

But when we heard the 7300 on stereo, we were also pleased by its sound. May ibubuga siya sa 2 gears mentioned above.

Nels,

Hindi maganda yung Sansui Amp.

Burahin mo yan... magagalit kami nina Hans at Sebman. Ahehehee...

Just bought Marantz SR4400 last Monday and here's my review:

Im eyeing for Yamaha440 previously until I came across Marantz4400. In my opinion, Marantz sounds a lot better in multi-ch/2ch stereo; it's clean, warm and smooth. Marantz SR4400 and Yamaha RX-V440 are neck to neck in terms of DTS/DTS-ES/DD/DD-EX audio quality(tested with my friend who has yammy 440). The Yamaha is being most aggressive, very bright and forward sounding which is great for movies but way too bright and tiring for music which lacking the musical smoothness of Marantz.

I think, Marantz SR4400 has the same features with SR4300 but I like it's silver faceplate. It's looks and it's sonics blends well with my current speaker mission m7c1(center), mission m70(front), and sony satellite speakers(rears). Great for SACD and DVD-Audio too (tested with Norah Jones and Metallica). I'm recommending 100% for music and 80% for movies. If one watches DVD exclusively, get the Yamaha 440 which is the other way around.

Strengths:
Great warmth, depth, clarity, tightness and immersive sound esp for music. Solid Construction and great audio qualities for an entry level reciever. And it's 6.1 input/output for future upgrades.

Weakness:
The remote's design but none for its price per audio qualities.
