here at CNET towers we're big fans of Myr answers line of slimline receivers with a form factor that's half the height of regular receivers these models offer up-to-date features and plenty of power for most systems the NR 1605 is the newest flagship in the line and it offers new features like Bluetooth and Spotify connect plus excellent sound quality the build quality is solid - and these ceramic edges give the receiver a sophisticated air but sadly there aren't any source selection buttons just two slower selected are the remote does have direct selection though the features are plentiful on the NR 16:05 with eight HDMI inputs the cheaper NR 1504 only has six and they have 4k 60 Hertz pass-through plus the receiver has onboard Wi-Fi with airplay and a front panel USB port this Marantz has 50 watts of power per channel which should run most speakers at reference levels in stereo mode if you want more power you should consider the sr5 $99 sound quality is what the marantz is all about and unlike similar receivers from Onkyo and Ponyo this is geared towards music first but that said it sounds equally authoritative with movies as well if you're looking for a slimline receiver with plenty of features and great sound the $6.99 Marantz NR 1605 is a very good choice this is ty Pendlebury for Cena talk
