Okay sometime ago I almost pulled the trigger on a MM8807 and a SR7013, and putting my Pioneer, and Emotiva XPA-3 to bed..
Well now with us being quarantined for the most part I am thinking about pulling the trigger on these, and picking them up from Listen Up today, I would think these would be a nice upgrade from what I have been using, and hey a little fun for me this weekend.. 😃
A little distraction if you will..

That's a sexy stack you have there Larry.

That looks to be a nice piece of kit.
Can you dim the front panel?
Asking for a friend -
Yes!!
This will be the first time in many years I haven’t been running a Pioneer..

Oh man!!! In with 65

What?! Not one S-video output?! What a piece of carp! I suggest you box them back up and send directly to me! I’ll even help with shipping charges.
I do like that the AVR has two places to put your dongle! That’ll be nice during this time of lockdown. -
those are some really nice looking gears. Congratulations and Enjoy. When time permits, please post your thoughts on that 7 channel amp. I have always been curious about Marantz amps.

Well done! I have a SR6011 that I've been listening to for the past couple of years and found it to be a great A/V receiver. Excellent build quality also. That's a nice combo you got there.

@Toolfan66 You take that back right now! And see if they got an AVR with balanced outs. Do they even make em? I think I saw a Yamaha that had them for the L/R only.
Tell me no, tell the class what else you have in your setup. -
They have Pre Pro’s with Balanced outs,Polk Audio SDA 2.3tl Fully Hot Rodded. 😎

I'm wondering why you didn't just get a pre/pro if you were already getting the amp?
-
The expense of the Pre Pro and I would need another AMP as well as more cables, Trust me I wanted to..
Edit: ok the Pre Pro would have been the same but it still would have cost me more in the end..Polk Audio SDA 2.3tl Fully Hot Rodded. 😎

The AV7705 pre/pro is the same price as that receiver.
However if it was all of the channels of amplification that you needed..............
Dolby Atmos/DTS X system yes? -
The amp is only 7 channels I need 9..Polk Audio SDA 2.3tl Fully Hot Rodded. 😎

Looks sweet!Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

I have been enjoying the SR 8012 I picked up a few weeks ago based on recommendations here. Still trying to figure out all it can do.
