Do slim receivers sound worse than full-size models?

Not necessarily. Marantz's slim models use the same HDAM amplification as their full-size siblings. You trade power headroom, not sound quality, at normal listening levels.

Can I wall-mount a slim AV receiver?

Some models support aftermarket wall-mount brackets. Ensure adequate ventilation and cable routing before committing to a wall-mounted setup.
