Here's a closeup of the Marantz units in my Main Theater No. 1 setup. MM9000 5.1 amp and AV9000 pre/proc/rcvr, Marantz DVD player. The VCR is a decent RCA. The speaker is the POLK SRS. Due to space limitations (too much stuff) the Polk is against the wall. Definately not the optimal situation, but i still sounds phenominal. Gotta love that woodgrain on the RCA cabinet!
