I hear different things, i thought marantz would be the abvous choise because it has warm sound. But many people i speak to swear by the onkyo, so i would like more input. I like to turn the volume really loud, and the horn kills mye ears. But supposedly with dirac live the onkyo will be just as kind to my ears as the marantz, because one can fix the treble with s nice roll off and also boost the bass, much better than just doing it with the treble knob.
Im leaning torwards the onkyo because of all the people i speak to that really love it for the punchy bass and forward mids.
