Hello
Looking for a receiver for my RTiA5.....
Are the DTR50.4 and Marantz 5011 "in the same league"? Are they comparable? If yes, one would be better than the other one, or not?
RTiA5 + CSiA4 + Jamo SW410E
Yamaha TSR-700 (equivalent to RX V6A)
No surround...yet

    I have never had an onkyo or integra (same company like Toyota and Lexus) but opinions are very mixed on the forum.

    I currently own the marantz sr5007, my second marantz. Great sound quality, good room correction, and seem to be reliably built, so that gets my vote...

    Integras are known to have hdmi board failures that may or may not be fixed if the unit is still under warranty (or not).

    I had an Integra as the second owner, the board failed and Integra repaired it outside of the warranty.
    Meanwhile, I bought a Marantz AV7702mkll, sold the Integra, and have not looked back.

    OK....so for approximately the same price, which one would be better for RTiA5:
    Yamaha RX-A2020 ($499 at A4L)
    Marantz SR5011 ($550 at A4L)
    RTiA5 + CSiA4 + Jamo SW410E
    Yamaha TSR-700 (equivalent to RX V6A)
    No surround...yet

    Oooh that's a tough one. The yammie gives u a few more bells and whistles, including 9.2. If u aren't going to ever go 9.2 then I would take the marantz as it will tame the highs on the RTis a bit. But really I can't go wrong with either!
