Awful price for a refurb (not so bad if new)! My recommendation has always been to go the Denon route (in this case the clone is Denon 2800) unless you really really like tiny portals and think HDAM does something for you! Also, if you're looking for that "warm Marantz sound", there are ways to modify a Denon room correction to get the same high frequency roll-off that Marantz uses for its "competitive advantage".

I wouldn't say it's an awful price, especially if the warranty is valid that's actually longer than what marantz provides.

However I agree not to purchase that one, based on the units performance. I do prefer a denon as well, but denon is getting funky outside of their high end line, at least with objectively. The 3700H was a beast. I would give it[marantz] a pass if you are only going to run 5 channels.

Marantz warranty for newer AVRs is 5 years:

In this deal, you get 1 year with Marantz and remaining 4 years with CPS. Any experience with CPS claims? I rather buy new for a bit more manufacturer warranty.

I wouldn't say another $800 is a bit more. Everywhere reputable is $1700 new.

Hence my Denon 2800 rec! Why pay more?

The Denon AVR-x2800h does not have amplifier preouts, the Marantz does. To get preouts on the Denon, you have to go the x3800h. However, I am still using my Marantz SR-5007. It has the tiny circle display in the middle. That part about it I can't stand. I like the previous model NR-1711 because of the nice display, but it is only 50 watts.
