In this video, we will be comparing the latest generation of Marantz AV receivers, the Marantz Cinema 40, 50, and 60, with the older generation models, the Marantz SR5015, SR6015, SR7015, and SR8015.
The Marantz Cinema series is the newest addition to the Marantz family, and it boasts some impressive features. The Marantz Cinema 60 is the entry-level model, the Marantz Cinema 50 is the mid-range model, and the Marantz Cinema 40 is the flagship model. All three models come with support for the latest HDMI 2.1 specification, which allows for 4K/120Hz and 8K/60Hz video, as well as support for HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG.
In conclusion, if you are looking for the latest and greatest features and technologies, the Marantz Cinema series is the way to go. However, if you are on a budget and still want to enjoy immersive audio, the older generation models are still great options. Ultimately, it comes down to your personal preferences and budget. - Розваги
Here is a user from Spain. A month ago I bought the Sr8015 with two Dali Opticon 6 mk2 speakers. I could have gone for the cinema 40, but it has less power. What really made the difference and made me decide on the sr8015 was the TOROIDAL transformer, if you are looking for Hifi that makes the difference. The architecture of the new cinemas is monolithic, they will sound good I don't doubt it, but they lack the toroidal transformer. The sr8015 also has 8k (almost non-existent in bluray and compressed on youtube) and by comparison, the heaviest. It weighs more, in audio equipment the weight is an indication of quality. I am very happy for having chosen the se8015, it is a 2020 model (my equipment was manufactured in September 2022 compared with marantz). It cannot be considered old. I think that the cinemas are a marketing strategy and renewal of the models, they will sound good, but I doubt that better. That said, I advise you to find out about the Toroidals and their advantages. Greetings to everyone who has read it in its entirety.
The cinema series was introduced as they had to drastically raise the prices. They had to make the series appear completely different. A cinema 40, the replacement for the sr7015 costs as much as what the sr8015 was.
How does toroidal sound different from monolithic?
I have av7005 + mm7055 for cinema (normal transformer) and mm7025(toroidal) for music and second plays better.
Hi… i am today deciding same as you, do you still feel the 8015 is better. The 40 has so many hdmi 2.1 connection, why so few on the 8015… how to connect everything like 4k projector, 4k blueray player, ps5…. Do i need 3x 2.1 in and out?? Help please
@@paulk9534 hi. Quite happy so far. There is an interesting hub
Marantz VS3003
I still think is more machine the sr8015
Man, you guys are way better than the other dealers. Thank you for all the top quality content!!! You guys deserve even more business.
We really appreciate this comment! Thank you so much! We work hard for you guys! 😁
Thank you man. You are the only guy on the planet who knows what's going on with Martenz. Seriously dude if I am local in Texas I will be driving by your shop and grab a cinema 50 right away tomorrow. But unfortunately I am in Toronto. There are some local shops that sell those, but no body has a clue what's going on. Everyone just thought Martenz stops making receivers after 2020. The cineam 50 is selling for around $3,300, while the SR7015 is selling for $3,999 brand new over here, so it's a no brainer over here up north. 🤣
Thank you! this video is so timely!
Do you know if the SR series will support DIRAC?
Any difference in sound???
My MArantz Sr7015 has eARC for the TV return. What are you referring to when you state "hey also do not support eARC, which means you cannot enjoy lossless audio formats over HDMI."?
simple and direct question, does the marantz AV 10 compared to the Marantz AV 8805\A have a better sound?, by better sound I mean more precision, greater details, more spatiality, more channel separation, more three-dimensional stereophony and better than the 8805A? It's more musical and has a cinematic timbre like trinnov or storm audio thanks
I've got the SR 7015 and absolutely love it, The sound is just something else
so how dose it sound?
@@MasterofPlay7 I'm running my Marantz SR 7015 on Tannoy Eclipse three, Eclipse centre and eclipse mini with a wharfdale 10 diamond sub and it sounds terrific, I'm thinking of upgrading to a Kef setup next
Hi Zack i have a question for you...by some years ago i want to change my receiver Pioneer sc lx 75 class d3 and more clarity and powerful it has...but now i would buy a new marantz receiver Cinema 40!!👍 this marantz could be more performance by Pioneer in clarity ?👍 thanks for your answer!👋
Would you be able to travel to the UK to do a install if everything cost is covered?
There are lot’s of high end hone theatre builders in Europe…
What is your opinion going for 8805A Or cinema 50 because I have a power amp for all channel 🙏
What is that media cabinet behind you? Looks awesome with the built-in short throw projector cubby.
Thanks for the comment! These cabinets are manufactured by Salamander and are made specifically for Ultra Short Throws. If you would like to learn more, feel free to reach out sales team.
@@Dreamediaav Nice. I'm toying with the idea of a UST, but it gets funky with the center channel placement.
I prefer the SR line due to the analog audio inputs since I also hook up my desktop 7.1 system into the it using the analog outs. I have an SR6015.
What is your opinion with 8805A Or cinema 50
Sr line crushes the cinema line.
My SR7015 exceeds our household’s limits and I’ve paired with Martin Logan surround, Rel+Pioneer subs, and duel center Vienna Acoustics CDM / B&W
Man, I'm about to pull the trigger on the AV8805a as I need 7.1.6 was hoping the cinema 40 would have been a 13.2 channle pre out 😭
We have the 8805 in stock! Give us a ring. We guarantee the lowest price and nationwide free shipping! We also have the denon 8500 I’m stock still. It’s a great unit as well.
@@Dreamediaav I'm in the UK baby! When are you opening up shop over here.
@@spacemanwho maybe one day!
I hope the cinema 30 will keep the SR8015's music quality.
I recently purchased the AV8015 Marantz over the Cinema line because of the incredible deals out there. With regards to the new equipment. Why do you actually need 8 8k video outs? 100% of the time, resolution is determined by the TV source. Most people have 4k TVs & Projectors anyway. Unless you are using an 8K Blu-ray player & an 8K TV, its not necessary.
The only reason I want to upgrade is Dirac on a Marantz, and you didn't even mention it!
be prepared to fork out an extra $450 plus for the software and microphone... the cinema series is only capable, not preloaded with DIRAC live
the 8015 can 7.1.6 or 9.1.4 with a 2 channel amp , the cinema series can with the same 2 channel amp only 5.1.6 or 7.1.4 13 channel processing versus 11 for me it was a easy choice. and 4 subs with the 8015 is possible but 2 more speakers with the cinemas not.
The SR8015 does not have four (4) dedicated sub pre-outs. Only two (2).
@@rexfurlong5108 yes , but i can use 4 subs with the 8015 it is not impossible.
Sr 1999 best bang for your buck
I think the older style Sr series has a nicer interface look. The new style looks cheap to me. Maybe I'm partial to the Sr because I own a sr6009. Why did they stop supporting Sirius radio? We paid for that support then marantz canceled the service. Not happy with marantz.
Wow so many wrong information in the description… Cinema 60 is the flagship? Hahaha and x015 DO hace eARC
Apologies. The description was written by our editors and they made a mistake and the update has been made.
Not helpful. How about sound quality?
who cares about 4 outputs for subs, you can solve that problem of adding more to any receiver by using an RCA splitter.
4 mins into the video and he hasn't said anything at all.

@Francesco esposito
The advantage of the AV10 is the availability of Dirac. I recently went from Audyssey to Dirac and Dirac is MUCH better
