Hey guys,

I am selling TWO brand new, in SEALED unopened boxes, Marantz AV8003 pre/pros. These just released a few weeks ago. I got a great deal on four of these puppies, one is going in my rack, my business partner bought one, and I am passing on savings on the next two! :D

These were purchased a week and a half ago from an authorized dealer, and I will include the receipt for warranty purposes.

FULL THREE YEAR WARRANTY!

You can look at the Marantz site for details, but MSRP is $2600, they feature 4 HDMI 1.3a inputs and two outputs, balanced outs, etc.... AND THEY LOOK HOT! :cool:

Selling them to polkies for just $1,999 each ;) SHIPPED in the lower 48! Paypal add 3%, but FREE SHIPPING! :p

Also, been a member on here a long time... done lots of buying and selling on here, and my ebay user id is fst96se. If these don't go quick herre, they will go on ebay. A couple have sold there in excess of $2100...

    Is it $1999 for both of them or each? I assume it's each but I had to ask. If it's for both, consider them sold

    I'd like to know how they sound? Tell us more about the Pre. I'm also in the market for a new pre and have my eye on this one.

    Each guys! ;)

    I actually took delivery of them today, and haven't even opened the box on mine! My Theater room is in a state of "takedown" right now as I am trying to install a Middle Atlantic rack, so everything is out....

    I won't be able to give you guys any kind of review, except to say it supposedly closely related to the new REALLY expensive, super whiz bang, Denon Pre/Pro which is double the retail price (or triple, can't remember.)

    Some who have listened to this side by side with the Integra DTC-9.8 have said it sounds everybit as good with Digital sources, and far better than the Integra with analogue sources.

    All second hand info....

    But, I am also selling my Integra DTC-9.8 if anybody is interested in that too... That is what this new Marantz is replacing.

    How much? Unfortunately the Marantz is more than I'm willing to spend for the convenience of HDMI right now but that 2xHDMI output would come in handy. Does the Integra have the same ability to stream audio and video over ethernet like the Marantz does?

    Sami, $1,350 on the Integra. I bought it new, from an authorized dealer in February. I never registered it, and still have the original receipt, so the buyer will get that as well. It is FLAWLESS! I took some pictures last night that I can send you if you are interested.

    Just a reminder that even though both of these are sold, many of us are anxiously awaiting your review of them.....

    This is the first affordable pre/pro option available behind Onkyo, NAD and Rotel. All of them up until now have had some issues or compromises that have kept me from jumping on board. This one and the new outlaw are the two I am holding out the most hope for.

    Thanks and enjoy,

    Michael

    I'll watch a game or two in gloryous surround sound for you ;):cool:.

    I might sell my Onkyo pro or my Halo c1 if the marantz is better.

    Just read the first professional review I have seen for this pre/pro. Sounds like you guys got a great deal on a hell of a pre/pro.

    Congrats.....

    So, any of you got them hooked up yet? Any initial impressions?

    Hey guys, I will be selling another one of these... same price, and their stock is going up significantly! There has been some very good feedback on the audio quality (ESPECIALLY for two channel listening!) on the AVS forum.

    I will start a new thread, but the price is $1999 SHIPPED and 3% paypal... I would be willing to take a money order from some of you, in order for you to save the paypal fee.
