Hi,
I am looking to purchase a marantz slimline receiver and am trying to gauge opinion on what I should do. This will be paired with my newly acquired MA BR5AV speakers and have heard this receiver should be a decent match.
The main reason I'm buying this though is my cabinet size and I know the real answer might be get another cabinet, I don't think I'll get that past the better half.
Anyway - I am looking at the prices of the NR1501 which have dramatically dropped due to the upcoming release of the NR1601. Can anyone give advice as to when the 1601 is to be released ? and whether they think it would be worth the wait / additional cost of getting one ? or should I just buy the NR1501.
I quite like the thought of HDMI pass through in standby on the newer model, is there anything else worth waiting for
cheers,
Jonny.
