Biggest Improvement in HT Sound: Going to Separates

Posted by JerryS on December 2, 2018 at 07:53:27:
I had been buying the 2nd from top model Marantz HT receivers for about 20 years, repeatedly upgrading to the then-current model. Earlier this year, I bought a Marantz AV-7704 pre-processor (again, 2nd from the top model), and found a used Rotel RMB-1565 5-channel amp.
My wife had often "remarked" that dialog was difficult to understand with the all-in-one receivers. Now, she says how real things sound. I, too, noticed a big improvement in sound quality with the new configuration of a pre-processor and separate multi-channel power amplifier.
This was probably the most significant upgrade to the home theater system since I replaced the old DLP TV with a Samsung 4k model.
Happy listening!
Regards,
JerryS
