I need some advice from more experienced forum members.
I recently acquired very nice sound system. It was a combo deal from a local seller. In the deal I purchased Paradigm Signature speakers, Marantz SR8002 receiver and Marantz UD7006 Blu-ray/SACD player. All the equipment in mint condition and came in original boxes. I really wanted to only buy the speakers, but the seller would not separate the package, so I had to buy it all. First I though I am just going to keep the speakers and sell everything else.
Just for test I have connected everything and was very positively surprised about the quality of that equipment, so now I am struggling if I should sell it or keep it.
So far I have been using Onkyo tx-nr809 and SONY S590 BluRay/SACD. Both bluray players sound very similar when connected through HDMI, however Marantz has a high quality analog outputs. Marantz player has a much better resell value and I think I could probably get for it around $600 in this outstanding condition (retail $1000).
When I compare receivers, again I feel that Marantz sounds better, however I like the features on my Onkyo tx-nr809, specially networking capabilities. In terms of resell value I think both are similar.
Which one do you think I should keep? Any comments are appreciated.
