Premium surround sound goodness for gamers and movie fans alike
Marantz has taken the wraps of a five-strong new range of AVR receivers and amps packed with the cutting edge technologies today’s ever-expanding home entertainment world demands. Including bug-free support over their HDMI loop throughs for both 8K video and, more importantly in today’s media landscape, the 4K/120Hz and variable refresh rate features so important to today’s cutting edge gaming world.
The five new models from top to bottom are: The AV 10 Processor and AMP 10 combi, the Cinema 40 AVR , the Cinema 50 AVR, the Cinema 60 AVR, and the Cinema 70s .Photo: Marantz The flagship AV 10 and AMP 10 are built on Marantz’s HDAM technology and are designed to partner up to become the heart of a reference-level entertainment system that would give you 16 channels of amplification, and seven HDMI inputs complete with 8K and 4K/120Hz compatibility.
The Cinema 40 AVR will provide an 11.4-channel configuration with a healthy 125W of power per channel, while its premium design will feature an aluminium front panel to give it a look befitting of its position so high up Marantz’s new range. The Cinema 50 AVR keeps the 11.4 channel count, but drops the power per channel to a still impressive 110W. Marantz describes this model as ‘perfect for discerning movie and music enthusiasts seeking to create an immersive home theater with rich tonal qualities and lifelike dynamics’.
