I have only had a marantz dvd palyer. It broke after about 4 weeks of use. I would probially not buy another one, but I would buy another yamaha or onkyo. I bought a yamaha htr-5790 for a little over $1000 a year ago. THX and componenet switching, so it has alot a features for its price. This reciever can now be had on ebay for the mild price of $500. I think that it is well worth the price. Another good brand is onkyo. It was feature packed at the time, and I got it for a mere $50 when wards was closing. So if you had good expieriences with marantz, get it. If you have not, look for something that has good bang for buck.
