This is a big, beefy receiver from Marantz that has all of the features one might ever need and tons of power to drive almost any speaker with ease. In terms of setup and ease of use, these are among the simplest to operate which is a huge win if you intend on setting this receiver up on your own. We have found the Marantz line to be quite reliable as well so you are making a purchase that will be satisfying for years to come.

The Cinema 60 is a really good receiver, stepping up to the Cinema 50 will give you GREAT performance in comparison. Definitely worth stretching your budget if you are considering both models.
