5Absolutely love it!
By A. Heuer
I've had the Marantz 6007 for about a month and absolutely love it. From the superb, compact and light design to the simple set-up, to the clean, crisp GUI (Graphical User Interface aka the menus), to the clear, warm sound, the Marantz 6007 has exceeded my expectations. $1,200 is a lot to spend on a receiver, and there are great options at lesser price points that are worth looking into. But I've found everything I wanted (and more) in the Marantz 6007.The ease of set-up can't be overstated. Simply turn it on and it guides you through the connection of all your components and speakers. In all it took less than half an hour. This is my first "networked" receiver, and I never knew what I was missing. Along with the ability to update firmware (there have already been two since I purchased the unit), you get connectivity to Internet Radio, Pandora and Spotify among others (Spotify was a hugh selling point for me). Hopefully we'll get Netflilx and MLB.tv in the future...The Apple App Store / Google Play remote app is a great bonus. I find myself using the app (on an iPhone) more often that I could have anticipated and haven't had any problems. The design and interface could be a little smoother, but you'll get used to it rather quickly. There's a handy info button to click on from the home screen that helps you understand all the options and how to customize the shortcuts. The app is especially nice for controlling volume from throughout the home and switching to networked apps. I most often use it to switch between Spotify playlists. Doing so with the unit's remote is a little cumbersome, especially when doing searches, as you're stuck with an old fashioned alphabet grid and you must select one character at a time. Whereas on the app, you have use of your phone's keyboard. Of course, the receiver also has Apple AirPlay, so you can stream music from your phone or iTunes library on your computer. It all works like a charm.The unit does not have Wi-Fi, so you'll need to connect it to an ethernet cable to use AirPlay, networked options and the remote app (which itself still requires Wi-Fi to work, which I find strange, but I'm sure there's a technical explanation I'm not aware of!). My modem is on another floor, so I used a Netgear 85Mbps Powerline Network Adapter Kit - XETB1001. If you follow the instrustions for setting up the adapter (e.g., you can't plug them into a power strip), you'll have no problems. I've never once lost connectivity with my Marantz 6007.The sound on the Marantz is clean and warm. In fact, I almost find it a little too warm for the style of music I listen to (thrash and heavy metal). I prefer a little more punch. But the unit really shines on other styles of music and movies. I've been incredibly impressed with the sound on albums by the likes of Adele and Mumford & Sons. I'm also not using a subwoofer, so that may have something to do with the lack of punch on heavier music. And of course, there's numerous options to adjust the sound. I strongly suggest carefully reading through the Audyssey section (page 113) of the manual. The Audyssey setup, by the way, worked flawlessly. The measurments were accurate and the sound levels were considerably better balanced than on previous receivers I've used it on.This is most noticible during TV programs. The Dynamic Volume for the most part solves the problem of sound variations between quiet and loud passages, without neutering or compressing the sound quality too much. And again, you can adjust the level of compression. With a baby on the way, the quality of this feature will be great for low-volume listening!All in all, I enthusiastically rate the Marantz 6007 five stars. It's easy to use (dare I say it's idiot proof?!), but be sure to read through the manual (available on disc or download from the Marantz website as a PDF document) to best understand all the tweaks and options. It looks beautiful physically and has a great GUI. The AirPlay and networked options are incredibly convenient. As I sit upstairs writing this review, I'm using my iPhone to listen to various tracks via Spotify. It produces great sound, especially if you are used to lower priced receivers. And it's even somewhat future proof, with 3D and 4K playback ability and more HDMI inputs than you can shake a fist at. Highly recommended if you love music and movies and want to enjoy them at their fullest in your home.

5High End Sound Reasonable Price
By CardinalC
I have never owned a Marantz before. I have this running in my home theater and the sound is superb. I turn the volume almost all the way up and there is no distortion. Set up is a breeze and the remote app is perfect. I connected this to another amp to power speakers throughout my basement and the zoning capabilities makes this simple to do. I also have it connected to the internet for music streaming. I cannot be happier with the product and there are features I haven't used yet. A RF remote would be nice, but I bought a universal RF remote for $80 that runs it an 9 other components fine.

1Poor Quality / Lackluster technical support
By K. Bard
I had purchased an sr6006 unit a few months ago when the geek boys would not fix a simple problem in my Onkyo - and just gave me my money back. I know the 6006 is last years model but I think the quality and tech support issue crosses all models.The guys at the Magnolia room convinced me that the quality of the Marantz was stellar.Well I did not look at some of the reviews... and mine aligns with those that have had a bad experience.When I first connected my receiver it worked great. There were not as many surround sound options as with my former Onkyo receiver, and I noticed that the power did not have near the punch that the Onkyo did when I had the same decibel set on volume.About a month into the use... the thing lost video when I was watching a program... I had to perform a reset on the receiver to get the video back... OK not to bad - but then it started to get chronic / happening ever few days then becoming almost daily.I called the tech support - he immediately started blaming my television firmware.... to humor him I did the firmware upgrade / of course this did not help. I had also started losing connection to the internet (ok they did have an issue with Pandora for a while until a Marantz firmware correction came out) but I was having a problem with internet radio too.... again tech support started blaming my internet router... (oh no it could not be the nic or other card in the receiver)... ugh.I finally took the system to a local highly regarded shop... they kept it 3 weeks and could not duplicate the problem..OK I got it home set it back up and it worked again for about a month.This time it started locking up along with the audio and video going out... again chronic. I found the easiest way to recover was to unplug the unit and plug it back in... at least then I am only down for a couple minutes.Well I called the tech support again... this time I was assertive and told them they should be able to at least replace a common board or 2 that would be causing these issues... well says the support guy - the shops have that option to do that as they desire.So I took it over to the shop again, told them this and they asked me who I spoke to at Marantz that told me that.... saying that is not really true... I will see what happens and update.As it is, there was another Onkyo on sale, and I purchased another Onkyo and am pretty pleased - I am wary of problems reported on the Onkyo units too... my other one was an 807 and it had a very simple problem the geek guys did not want to order a part and replace... I wish I had that back, I could have fixed the thing myself... ugh boo to the geek guys
