Recently acquired this receiver for my home theater system. Very easy to set up. It even told me one of my rear speakers was connected out of phase, which I corrected. Watched the Rush, Time Machine blue ray disc on it. Sound was incredible! Detailed, full and clear. I then played an LP on my Luxman turntable connected to this receiver. BTO , Not Fragile, never sounded so good. Played Yes, Boston and Alice Cooper as well. Each Lp sounded great!! The dynamic volume feature works very well. Each lp sounded great even at low levels. Remote was nice and easy to use. The Marantz provides plenty of power to all seven of my speakers, which include a pair of large Polk LS 50s, a pair of Wharfedales, and a pair of B&W 602s. Dialogue on movies was crisp and clear. The Marantz provided plenty of power to my Pinnacle center channel speaker, even at high volume. I couldn't be more pleased with the Marantz and highly recommend it!!Read full review

I have had the receiver for almost 1.5 year now and there is a newer version of it but it is still a solid choice. I was running my Denon 4802 for about 10 years and finally decided to upgrade to an HDMI switching receiver. I thought about another Denon but love the sound of my Marantz receiver I am running in another/smaller room, SR5003, and thought I would give them a close look as well. Long story short, I settle on the SR7005. I did it not only for sound but also technology. I was kind of surprised to see at the time that the Marantz being slightly ahead of the Denon's but not that surprised I suppose since they are owned by the same company. The Marantz had the latest HDMI 1.4a spec at the time which is really nice and includes 3D support. The other thing that sold me on it was the fact that it can do passive HDMI pass-through when in Standby so it doesn't have to be on if you are using it as a switch (I have been waiting for a long time for this feature to start showing up in receivers). Sound quality is top notch as you would expect from a Marantz. The one thing I was hoping for was more "umph" from the amp being that it was their flagship. My Denon definitely had a stronger amp and it wasnt even the flagship at the time. But, the Marantz still has plenty so it is a minor grip. The Marantz does have a 7 channel amp which is pretty standard these days and has the option for zones 2 and 3; nice but I will probably never use. I love the on-screen display. Alot has changed in 10 years. The OSD is the first on a Receiver that I have used that is actually easy to navigate and is intuitive. It is internet capable which is cool and the Audyssey setup was straight-forward. You can also set up options to do video up and cross conversion or turn it off altogether so it remains as pure as possible. The remote seems adequate but I have a URC so I wont be using it much. The HDMI Output 1 supports ARC (audio return channel) and works great with my Panasonic plasma which I use for things like Netflixs and Pandora. However the receiver also has many of its own version of these apps and it is actually cool to use it for something like Pandora and not have to turn on the tv. For looks, it is sleek and slick. Very classic look but still modern. Even my wife loved how it looks :). When the front door is close, you have a round display that tells you input and volume level. The one thing I wish it had was the current surround mode but not the end of the world. Overall, very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend to anyone. Manrantz has released new couple of newer firmwares over the past 1.5 years and even a free upgrade to Airplay which was really cool on their part! I have never used it but it is nice to have the option built in. ErnieRead full review
Quality product. I use in stereo mode as well as surround sound. Really sings! The surround transitions smooth, and my sub has never sounded better. Make sure you give the unit some room to breath and have a firm base, as this receiver is stout. Highly recommend.

This is not for beginners and there is a lot to learn about. There is plenty of power and the sound is very clean even at eviction notice sound levels. That being said this thing does a great job at both music and TV sound and has a lot of good features. The only drawback is it is not a 4k reciever.
