...all you will get here is opinion...based on very specific parameters...none of them quite matching yours.

Face it, somebody likes this brand because it's what they currently own...or suggests that brand because suggesting the name imparts them with a certain "above-it-all" mystique..."ooo, he know's about them!...he must be right!!!

When you come right down to it, it's your wallet and you have to be satisfied with your choice...I'd suggest you listen around to some speakers in your price range(and even a bit above) to narrow down the candidates...maybe the dealer has some "loaners" or a liberal return policy that will allow you to hear them in YOUR environment, after all, that's where they will be working...

BTW, the Marantz 7200 is that relatively new integrated isn't it? How do you like it? Looks very interesting...
