Marantz PM7005 VS. Yamaha A-S701

[Palmat]

Hi everyone!

I'm in the process of buying a new stereo amp. At the moment I'm choosing between Marantz PM7005 and Yamaha A-S701. Any input on these amps and how they perform would be greatly appreciated. I will mostly be playing vinyl so I'm especially interested in how the respective amps phono stages measure up.

Thanks in advance, Mathias

The room is about 4 x 6 meters. I have a couple of DLS Flatbox XL speakers and a REL T5 subwoofer.
