Mike,

I currently have the Marantz AV7005. I have little doubt that the 800 is excellent but I am curious as to how much more performance I will get for nearly double the cost of the Cary. It seems that the two (cost and performance) are not parallel, as I don't expect to get an even ratio of performance that reflects the difference in cost. But is it enough to warrant it? I hear the Anthem Statement D2v is also worth a look but I haven't heard it either...
