Older Anthem D2 or new Marantz?


This is for Home theater only.
Older Anthem D2 with ARC for 2500
Or
New Marantz Av 7701 for 1488?

I currently run a PS3 and a front projector with HDMI 1.3.

The older Anthem is HDMI 1.1
The Marantz is HDMI 1.4

I mostly watch Blu-Ray's\

I have an Anthem for my amp. (not that it matters, unless it does)

Thank you for your input,
Bill

I own an Anthem AVM 50v. As much as I like it, I'd go with the Marantz with the newer technology for $1,000 cheaper. The Marantz actually sounds very good and will be fine for HT use.
Have both Anthem and Marantz stereo units. Both good to very good. But for a thousand bucks less and the latests formats, the Marantz is the way too go.
