Good Points: The SR-940 is a great receiver which produces Very High Quality Sound. The digital buttons are great because you won't have the resistance crackle or sound degredation after years of service like analog slider potentiometers (pots).
Bad Points: The receiver is lacking a few I/O channels, and the tonal controls, bass, treble, and balance are analog slider pots.
General comments: I have what I believe to be the Marantz gold series, and I love it. The flawless sound it produces is rarely matched by any receiver I have heard. Receivers like this are the reason that actual CD Quality signals are preferred to those encoded into MP3's. Most receivers you can't tell the difference between MP3's and CD's but with this baby you can. It has oversized heatsinks, and weighs in at over 30 lbs. I think it is one of the best receivers Marantz have ever made. If I could change anything about this receiver I would have added the bass, treble, and balance controls, digitaly into this receiver, and just add meters to the led display on the front of the unit. I would also add a few more I/O channels. If you can find one of these, try it out, you won't be disappointed!!! I have the original box, documentation, remote, receiver, all in mint condition, which for a unit that is over 21 years old is pretty amazing. :)

This Marantz SR 940 receiver is a 600 watt unit. The speaker outputs on it are the screw type, and they are really nice. It lets you be nice and sure about your connections. There are only a few inputs. There are two tape inputs and outputs, a gold plated phono input and a CD/CDV input. The whole face on this thing is digital- all buttons, except for a bass, treble and balence slider- which I enjoy immencely. The audio quality of this reciever rivals, if not beats, my 1000 watt Sansui G-9700 and ...
