AV Receiver help Marantz NR1601 or Yamaha 667

pretty much as title, have a heard a couple of thing and its pretty much between those two.  i wondered if anyone had any comments about either of them or thought that might help me pick.  i liked how they both sounded but cant decide which i liked more.  help oh mighty audio geek land

bump

well odd you should ask now as im about to go buy one tomorrow.

i did hear them both and eventually decided i go with the marantz as it was that but less warm and rich.  i worried that the yammy would be too warm and soft.  so i went off to buy some time ago and the marantz was out of stock, marantz refused to supply richer sounds as they were selling them too cheaply.  marantz however arent keen on allowing retailers to sell them online to outside their elected region.  there are a couple that will but it really pissed me off that marantz think they can dictate what im allowed to buy. 

so im going to buy the yammy tomorrow acoustically they were on a par in quality just a different flavour.  if it makes a difference to you then the yammy has a vastly superior UI on it. 

yeah i did get the 667, about a year ago now. 

it sounds fine but hand on heart ive never been in love with it.  of course i never actually got to try the marantz with them but i think that they are very good ot films but arent as crisp or resolving as id like for music.  they are rich and warm and a touch on the soft, relaxed side.  if i had bright and crispy speakers like some Monitor Audio's then i could see them pairing up super well.

as for headphone use, i think i tried it once thats it.tbh if i wanted to use headphones id use the RS180's anyway, i really dont remember how good it was.
