Marantz Cinema 70 Receiver Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- This review is late. It should have been done for mid-2023. This product is so good that I paired it with basically everything I got to review last year. So I kept pushing the review back.
It was the head and heart behind every theater system I had in-house last year: Small bookshelf-based systems, High-end overkill 7.1 systems, Cinema focussed systems.
Everything.
This receiver is the best thing I got to use last year.

I‘ve the NR1510 and I’m planning on upgrading to this, just because of the pre-outs.
Fantastic review. I am loving mine. It has both simplified and enhanced my home movie and music enjoyment.
Thank you!
This is great . Got 2 ch Rotel power amp, and this thing is dynamite ! Can totally do movies and stereo duties, especially in strereo pre amp mode !
@@owisun85 amazing!
Man I paired this up with the dm70s… I was curious to see if it could push it and to my surprised… wow. The receiver has idk what but it has it.
“Easy to live with” I like that. 😊
Great review.
Btw that 70% Marantz Guarantee is only for up to 5 channels, not all. Which means 50 x 0.7 = 35W per channel for 5 channels driven. Which in turn you can calculate 5 x 35 = 175W total power. And for all channels driven, in this case seven, 175 / 7 = 25W for all channels driven at 8 ohms 20 Hz - 20 kHz and 0.05% distortion (THD). Which is not bad compared to others. But yeah the bs and lying is strong with these AV companies.
The Yamaha V6A for example which is 100W Stereo 20Hz-20kHz at 8Ω 0.06% THD. I calculated that it's about 28.5W All Channels Driven.
Yeah their power ratings on AV receivers have always been suspect. But fortunately preouts save the day! And thanks for watching!
Big fan of mine also. It's easily driving 5 B&W speakers (somewhat vintage) that are known to be current hungry and this little thing has no problem making the house rock. Though, I'm adding two small monoblocks - the new Fosi V3 Monos for a mere $100-ish per channel - to drive the main stereo pair - just because I can, not because I must. Offloading the main stereo pair leaving the rest of the amplification to drive surrounds seems like a plan, especially as I'm doing 5.2.2. Literally the only thing I wish it had was two more pre-outs - for one more Atmos pair, so I could do front and rear heights. I guess Marantz didn't want to cannibalize sales of their higher end models... Front heights is great, though.
That soinds like a sweet setup!
How many watts does it give for 4 ohm speakers?
I did not find 2ch music enjoyable with the Marantz Cinema 70 so added a Stereo Amp with AV Bypass to the Marantz Cinema 70's Front L&R Pre-outs, then just plug in music sources to the Stereo Amp, which is much more rewarding separate 2ch music playback
That’s exactly what I do with it as my daily set up!
Hey, can you elaborate on how it's not enjoyable? Like it doesn't have enough power? Also which external amp do you use and with which speakers?
@@dragonstone6594 I have the Marantz Cinema 70 and I am underwhelmed with the 2 channel stereo sound that is why I was asking what dac is in the Cinema 70. I will be adding a Stereo Amp as well.
If I want to use as is, do you think it will pair up well with efficient Klipsch speaker package? Say the Reference Premiere 600 and 500 Mk2s with matching sub?
I don’t have experience with the Klipsch speakers unfortunately. But it runs fine with the Q Acoustics 3000i bookshelf package which is my mainstay. Not sure if that helps…
I can say I'm using my klipsch rp-280f tower speakers and 2 svs sb-2000's the originals with the stereo 70s and it is awesome 👌
Absolutely. This AVR plays really well with the Klipsch lineup.
I’m guessing we are to expect a bowers 700 series review? 🙌🏻
It’s incoming!
now the flagship is cinema 30
What dac is in this receiver?
Likely an entry-level Ti chip. Marantz is a premium brand, but the DAC in the Cinema 70S is probably no better than what's in Sony's AVR lineup (aside from the ES line). I'd recommend a Topping external DAC if you want to make a digital source dance. Having said that, the Cinema 70S does have warm, musical amplification. I could see a set of Polk or Focal home theater speakers making up for any DAC weaknesses.
Que diferencia hay entre un Marantz 40n y un Marantz cinema 40, en tema de música. Se nota la diferencia musical?
I haven't heard either of those.
I don’t like Marantz being associated with Denon 🎉
Out of curiosity,… why?
I can see what you mean. But I got over it once I realized that Marantz AVRs are the best in the business.
