Marantz SR6014

I bought this new and it has scarcely been used. We set it up for home theater use for only a couple of weeks before moving. Since that time it has been set up as a Stereo Receiver only for two speakers and was used only a handful of times.  Manual, remote, and setup mic included.

Marantz straddles the line between the digital and analog worlds with a finesse that I appreciate. The SR6014 offers every  bell and whistle you could ask for in a home theater receiver. Yet it still retains "old school" features like composite and component video switching — something we don't see very often these days. Simply put, this nine-channel powerhouse will play virtually any source you throw at it.
