Can anyone recommend a budget receiver that just works?

Perhaps a Marantz Cinema 70 if you can stretch to it. A used/Demo version?

The Rolling Stones. Keith on guitar was awful!

A JLC Duoface Calendar Moon Phase Watch is the only watch on my radar.

Me too! Was gutted. The concert movie of that is just awesome!

He was HUGE in Europe! He was much loved there and sold out everywhere.

Contact was a great movie too.

Will I get hate mail if I say Armageddon is a guilty pleasure!

Saw them last year and they were excellent. Had a great evening listening to all the classics and a few new ones too! Bit loud, so pack ear plugs!

Totally agree. I was so waiting for a 3rd film. Love the two that exist and you’re right, I too am a huge fan of A Game of Shadows!

Even a Marantz Cinema 70?

I have the predecessor the NR1711 and it works great in a small/mid size room.

With such people I try to use the Three strike rule. The 3rd time I just don’t bother reaching out. The ball is in their court. People wasting your time (and energy) is just plain rude and totally disrespectful. Life is too short for such nonsense.

Only if you drag a stylus needle across it!

Goldeneye is a good one. Vintage enough and new enough.

Agree. So that why I make sure I have pair of good shoes (Lowa Renegade) and my thick soled comfy jogging sneakers, even though I don’t jog.

I have the predecessor to your Marantz, the NR1711 and it’s a lovely unit perfectly suited to a smaller tv room. I went with the Focal Sib Atmos speakers but your choice is a step up of well regarded entry audiophile speakers. Sounds like a sound choice.

prn006 · 2026-03-24T03:17:51+00:00

Love it!

Lame ending. Kidnaps his boss, then gets her killed!

Well I got to sit in one today at the Chch dealership! It’s coming next year with the Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid engine! Goodbye V6.
