Hello all! I'm selling my trusty receiver as I'm changing up the system a bit (moving sideways to another Marantz receiver, but the 6000 series, so not exactly an upgrade). The 7008 is a REALLY nice receiver, which I bought for its top-of-the-line Audyssey XT32 room-correction equalization - which was totally worth it. It'll transform a mediocre installation into a nice one, and a good set of speakers into AMAZING home theater sound. This is a seriously well done home theater receiver, that's also fantastic for stereo/2-channel listening. The room EQ makes a huge difference, as few have a perfect acoustic environment at home. I have the original box and all accessories, and take care of my equipment. Updated to the latest firmware. Let me know if you have any questions.
I'm looking for
$517, firm. Will try for
local sale first, if there's no local interest after a month, then I'll entertain shipping.
