Review 1 of 11
Price Paid:
$499.00
from Rcycled Audio Summary:
I've had this receiver for 3 years now and I have been very impressed with the sound quality, that actually seemed to get better after about 2 weeks of use. I like the sub preamp out, so I can use my powered sub, and also get some low end from my front speaker pair. I'm moving this unit to my bedroom and replacing it with the Marantz SR5000, a very similar unit, only with s-video. If you can get the SR580 used or refurb. for less than $200, I think it's a steal. Strengths:
DD 5.1, great stereo sound, excellent Pro Logic and Dolby Digital Weaknesses:
No S-Video switching, only 2 digital inputs, Terrible DSP modes(but who needs them anyway) Similar Products Used:
Sony, Harmon Kardon

Review 2 of 11
Price Paid:
$250.00
from ubid Summary:
Good quality and clairty. Not satisfied with the power and features at the price. No DTS, and just lacked punch. Had to really turn up the volume to get it cranking.
Remote laid out bad, but learns easy and everything. Why can't they but different sized buttons that are easy to identify instead of all tiny idenitical buttons???? We'll never know.
Decent receiver--it's a Marantz. Recommend if the price is right, but if you're paying over $250 for it, go grab the HK Avr-65--it can be had cheap on ebay and way outperforms this one, plus DTS!!!
Strengths:
Marantz quality, learning remote, looks good, inputs, and DD decoding. Weaknesses:
Power--hate to say it but I wasn't satisfied. Remote layout. Similar Products Used:
Harman Kardon, other Marantz, Yamahas, Technics, Pioneers, etc...
