    Marantz AV 30 sits under the AV 20 - 11.4 channels, no price announced

    Marantz has slotted an AV 30 in below the AV 10 and AV 20, and the pitch is the familiar one: most of the flagship processing at a price you can actually reach. The spec sheet backs up the first half of that. It processes 11.4 channels, decodes Atmos, DTS:X, Auro-3D and IMAX Enhanced, runs...

    Marantz put 1440p passthrough and FreeSync on all four Cinema Series 2 AVRs

    Everyone is talking about the Dirac situation on these, but the spec that made me sit up is 1440p passthrough and AMD FreeSync compatibility across all four models - the Cinema 50 Series 2, both Cinema 60s and the slimline 70s. Receivers have spent years treating PC gamers as somebody else's...

    Marantz Cinema Series 2: Dirac on all three models, but still a paid add-on

The 50 is nine channels at 110W, the 60 is seven at 100W, the 70s is seven at 50W. Nine on the flagship in...

    Marantz Model 70 has HDMI ARC and a sub out, the Arcam A5+ has neither

    What Hi-Fi ran the new Marantz Model 70 against the Arcam A5+ and gave it to the Arcam on sound. Fair enough, but I don't think that's the interesting part of the comparison if the amp is going in a room that has a television in it. On paper these two are near twins. 50 watts a side, moving...

    Marantz MODEL 70 skips North America but the CD 70 doesn't - odd split

    Audioholics has the new entry-level Marantz pair: a 50W per channel MODEL 70 integrated and a CD 70 player at $750, both positioned as the follow-ups to the PM6007 and CD6007. Restyled to match the current family look, and the amp gets HDMI ARC and Bluetooth. The catch is that North America gets...
