Hi,

Bought a new home and need to upgrade my Home Theater receiver so I'm wondering what would the best to buy around $500.

I was looking into Marrantz 1608 which I could by factory refurbished for $490. or maybe SR-5012 for $650.

I'm using 5 18" ceiling speakers and 2 subs. Receive will need to have 2 zones.

I don't need top of the line but want something that would sound really nice.
I was primarily looking into the 1608 because of it's slim design and because my living is just around 500 sqft.

Any advice?

Thanks.
