You are looking at my Marantz SR5003 AV receiver in black. Forget your big box, cheap stuff from Pioneer and Sony, Marantz craft high-end audiophile grade amplifiers and receivers for the top end of the market. Comes with original learning remote, manual, Audyssey setup mic and Bluetooth receiver. RRP on this amp was $1,500!

Music pro's know that if you want a home theatre amp that kills the competition when it comes to playing music, you buy Marantz. Equipped with Audyssey, this amp will set itself up automatically to your exact room and speaker arrangement.

The SR5003 is capable of driving each of its seven channels with a true 115W of power (@ 6ohms) with 0.08% THD. Don't be fooled by cheaper competition, they over-promise and under-deliver! I have been using this as a pre-amp for my non HDMI amp - just to see if I enjoyed the DTS-HD Master Audio decoding. It was awesome but I'm simplifying my system now, so this is surplus.

Hometheaterreview.com gave it 4.5/5 stars saying: “Marantz is known for high-end audio sound and, even at this price point, their heritage shows, with smooth and detailed sound with enough power to handle small to moderate rooms, depending on the sensitivity of your speaker. Add to that the ability to control a second zone and you've got one great deal in an AV receiver.”
