Yes, it is considered to be a "kickass" piece of equipment - the higher end Marantz receivers are often considered to be similar to names such as NAD and Rotel etc.
I had a hard time making a decision of whether to sell it or not.
I went with another Elite in the end because I like the 'function rename' feature so much and it looks a bit nicer in my opinion, even though the Marantz might be a bit more musical than the Elite and is a name I always wanted to own.
Oh well, maybe the next series will include function rename.
Unfortunately there aren't a lot of reviews for the SR8400, but the new 7500 and 8500 have received rave reviews.
For the money, it is a no brainer in terms of audio quality, which is why I jumped on it initially.
Good luck with your HT system hox!
Just hope your neighbors can't hear it.
