This is a duplicate post. Had posted in another forum but then saw this one and thought it would be more appropriate here... Sorry a new member so please be gentle 
As the title says am torn between the two. Which one should i buy? The marantz is about 6k cheaper than the yamaha. But it has less power - 50wpc vs 80wpc. However i am told that marantz have better sound for music than yamahas. Is that true? Am pairing the avr with elac b6.2 bookshelf speakers for now. Is the power of the marantz good enough for future upgrades? Another thing i came across is that the marantz have more power ya stated because of their robust construction. Would love to hear from you all to clear my confusion. Thanks!
