X4800H is supposedly an upgrade (according to the internet though priced the same) but in terms of performance there was no audible difference in critical listening - 24-bit/192kHz/88.2kHz high res 2-channel music and Atmos tracks from RPO / EoT / Dune. I ended up keeping the Denon due to better display but that was it. While Marantz doesn't do well in measurements (here is one for SR7015 [audiosciencereview.com]) due to the distortions they deliberately introduce through HDAM, none of it is audible unless someone has golden ears. I'd expect SR5015 to be sonically as good as Cinema 50 / SR6015 with a little weaker room correction and less channels (Atmos 5.1.2 is sufficient for most living rooms).
BTW, A4L [accessories4less.com] is $100 less with the same 3-yr warranty.

Thank you, I have an SR5006, and I absolutely love it. Unfortunately I'm upgrading to true 4K laser projector and my current receiver would be missing the HDR features I'm looking forward to. Since I don't need the audio now, I think I'll wait and save for a Marantz 77-- series preamp from accessories for less, which would make my wallet feel better after buying the projector.

Did you compare it after Dirac measurements? Apparently that's the killer feature on the newest generation AVR's, the auto eq capability.

Even most that do generally support wireless speakers don't support wireless surrounds.
Ugh!

I've been lucky that my HDMI ports haven't had any of the X4300H issues... but it'd be nice to be able to do 120hz on the C1 vs the 4k60 limitation.
