Marantz NR1710 vs SR5014 vs SR5013 vs SR6013 Review

While the Marantz SR5014, SR5013, and SR6013 are full-profile receivers (with circular display), the Marantz NR1710 and its predecessor: NR1609 have slim profile (and rectangular display), meaning their height is approximately two-thirds of the SR5014, SR5013, and SR6013.

Marantz SR7013 vs SR6014 vs SR6013 Review

The Marantz SR7013, SR6014, and SR6013 all have 9 poweramps. There is no difference between the Marantz SR7013 vs SR6014 vs SR6013 in terms of the pre-amp section either since they all have 11.2 channel processing capability and 11.2 channel pre-outs (for the main room).
