The Marantz SR4300 is absolutly Amazing , if i could swear on here I would, I have just tested this amp / av surround Reciver at the front i have mission M73 to the side Mission M72 and at the rear acting as surround sound speakers a pair of Jamo sihouette , I have found alot of reviews on here claiming that this amp does not punch out much bass and on this i have to disagree I think this amp packs just enough bass very soothing to the ears and has good bass responce when needed , I have not hooked up my sub to this as i don't belive i needs it , The setup could do with more auto setup for the more novice users but i don't think it's aimed at the novice user and doesent take much working out , I wouldent like to suggest this amp to a first time user , I have tested many systems and speakers and this has to be in my top 5

There's quite a few surround sound recievers out there,I've listened to Yamaha, Sony, Pioneer, Denon and I've decided to go for the Marantz SR4300, quality is excellent, music is clear and detailed, the surround sound is fast and effective, wizzing sound round the room in great style a good all rounder.
