That sounds pretty good to me in terms of ventilation -

Don't mean any offense - yes there are definitely more entry level receivers below them. My argument is they'll probably all sound much the same (within same Brand anyway). By that I mean if you look carefully at the differences (steps up) between each model - in the lower models the differences tend to be features, connections and format support - you'll get a few more watts per channel, but it's not until you reach a certain point that they start targetting more of the audiophile types and you see the selling points are in better audio circuits, DACs, gold plating, power supply circuits, adv -

Yeah it's going to have more power available (bigger power supply) to go louder and probably a few more connections. I wouldn't expect it would sound much different quality-wise - they are still entry level type units. Neither have the front pre-outs of the NR1710, something to keep in mind if you ever intend running a power amp / 2ch setup with HT bypass at any time. I find this site really good for comparisons: https://www.zkelectronics.com/compare/denon-avr-x2600h/usa/marantz-nr1710/usa/ -

The centre speaker is a must for me too. Coming off the back of owning pretty beefy Denon's (4520, X4000, 3808 etc) I've got a couple of the slimline Marantz's now - I had a NR1609 and liked it enough to get a NR1710 when my 4520 packed up. I think they are great. They are easy to live with as they support all the modern formats, fit nicely in my cabinet under the TV and I really like HEOS functionality. In terms of sound quality - I think they are good enough for the price if you're running them for HT rather than music - I run a power amp though because I run full-siz -

GLWTS, wish this had come up a few months back - I've become a big Heos fan, it's solid and easy to use - neither of which can be said for a lot of the streaming solutions I tried before it -
