I just received a Marantz 2240 in good working order from my uncle. I powered it on and the only issue is that the UV Meters don't light up, but I'm sitting here listening to it as we speak. I have to say I am freaking blown away at that quality of sound and volume that this receiver puts out. I have my B&W 604 S3's hooked up to it and listening to CD's from a cheap little $25 DVD player that I bought for my kids (only thing I had available with analog outputs right now). Dear God, the sound is full and dynamic like I've never heard through my Yamaha HTR 6090. Don't get me wrong, the Yamaha is great for movies, but absolutely sounds sterile for music listening. With the Yamaha, I always had to turn on my sub just to hear any bass and that's with bi-amping my 604's. However with this Marantz, It has the full range by itself. To say I am impressed would be the understatement of the century. I am a believer in Marantz now.
