Marantz for us, the 7002 is the one we use most of the time.

From a control standpoint my vote is Integra. As for sound quality it doesn't come up too often as an issue nor do we very often install a set of speakers where you'd be able to really tell the difference anyway. Most customers trust us as installers to point them in the right direction. If it's not easy to use I don't care how good it sounds they are gonna have beef and not use it as much or at all.

another Marantzian here. Its always been good to us, as stated the OSD has something to be desired but i believe they have improved that with the new versions rolling out.

Marantz... We sell mainly the 8002 and 7002 and have a couple sets of the separates out there. LOVE THE SEPERATES!
The new Rotel stuff looked very promising at CEDIA. We will continue to sell their stuff at the higher end of things... assuming the HDMI is reliable.

Marantz as well. A true go-to receiver brand where you don't have to worry about the sound or build quality.

We are switching to Integra currently, and will use Denon to fill the gap. The quality of Denon has really gone down in recent years.
What do you want me to do....slash my prices like Crazy Eddie?
