I agree, the MX120 is not only built better but will sound better on 2 channel.
Marantz AV7005 vs McIntosh MX-120
Hey Audiogoners I need some help and opinions from audiophiles. People who understand that there is a difference between a up converted DVD and a Blu-ray. People who recognize the fact that vinyl on the right system will always beat your damn AWIA mini system!
I’m looking to upgrade my current home theatre preamp. First let me tell you about my current system. This is it: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vopin&1332968637&view I’ve since added a HTPC, which is wonderful, and a DVDO scalier/switcher. (http://www.dvdo.com/EDGE.aspx )
Here is the Question/options
Option A: I can get the Marantz AV7005 which handles all the current surround options.
Option B: I can get the McIntosh MX-120. Now the MX-120 can’t handle anything super current as far as surround goes. I can use my DVDO to handle all video switching and then send the audio via HDMI to the McIntosh for decoding. The pro to this set up is the analogue section of the McIntosh for my 2 channel audio is far better than the Marantz.
What do you think?
