Performance

Marantz SR5500

7.1-channel A/V receiver; upconverts composite and S-Video to component; Dolby Headphone processing; SACD/DVD-Audio inputs offer rare adjustability; adjustable lip-sync delay; three-year warranty.

Good value for the price

Great hard working amplifier that wont break the bank.If your looking for a mid range amplifier id seriously be looking hard at the marantz range for a quality product.Damien
