Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Receiver: Arcam vs Marantz vs Integra

Never: you raise an interesting point. As you know, for the past year, I have been reviewing all the material that I could on receivers and pre/ pros.

From the specifications, I could NOT discern any sonic difference!!!! If they really have a flat response from 20 Hz to 20 KHz and less than .08% THD, how can they sound different unless their signal processing is different?

So, I either conclude that they are sonically the same or the manufacturers cooked the specs.

I wouldn't argue either way because I no "proof." Could be that many are sonically the same. Could be that some manufacturers lied.

I look forward to your discussion.
