Picked up a 5013 today. The best A/V receiver that I have ever owned. It sounds amazing. Haven’t watched any movies with it just doing music testing. Man on man, it has blown me away.
It was my choice until I found out that it does not support eARC, which my TV includes now. Would like to see a firmware update as they did for other SR AVRs
I have the 6013 in our bedroom and a 7012 in the family room. Both sound wonderful. So many features I have yet to delve into all of them. Bravo, Marantz!
still rocking my circa early 2000ish (year, not price) marantz sr580! 20 years and still going strong, with original B&W speakers and Mirage 1000w subwoofer!
Very helpful overview. Changed my mind and decided to spring for the SR6013 rather than the SR5013 because my speakers are only 85 dB/W efficient and the differences in the amplifier sections seem substantial. I need a mid-fi receiver for my 2.1 A/V system - one that will drive 4 Ohm speakers well. I have a dedicated high-end vacuum tube stereo system for audio. I'm actually not that interested in the features as long as it has a subwoofer out, but my son is into the wireless and I may end up using a lot more than I think. Regardless, nice job! I've never owned Marantz before, hoping for above-average sound quality and reliability at this price point. Yamaha, Onkyo and Pioneer just don't do it for me any more.
I have the 1609 model that I bought on Ebay for $ 375 store return worth $ 700. Its a 7.1 system with Dolby atmos. Well worth it for this price ! I think it has plenty of power , and features along with Dolby atmos. I suggest to look for a sale , Ebay or buy used. All of my home theater 7.1.2 was purchased on sale ,i never pay retail prices and am very happy with my purchases. I have Klipsch, Svs Ultra, and Marantz.
These are not 2019 models!!!! The 2019 I currently purchased is the SR6014. Please do your homework before selling us on the older 2018 editions. Okay? Thanks!
What I would have like you to describe is the type of sound and how it changes from one model to the next one. Is it balanced, warm, neutral. How about the 1609 sound?
How do I take the plastic caps off the speaker terminals so I can use banana plugs? I just bought the SR5013 and my only complaint is that it doesn't support Chromecast. Have to bluetooth instead. I hope they can add it with a firmware update.
@@javierdizgonzalez7971 Thanks, I saw a video using a paperclip on a Yamaha. But my Marantz doesn't have holes in the center of the terminal plug. But I did manage to get my fingernail underneath and it popped out.
Hello I would your opinion on who makes the best receiver models, that played IMAX enhance, THX CINEMA certification and why? Sony, Denon, Marantz, Pioneer, Yamaha, Anthem 720 etc. I'm a fan of clean loud sound with great clarity and distinction when playing music between the instruments with be great stereo separation, & on movies playing full Range Sound, clear vocals and great bass management with the ability to adjust sub settings easily. Thank you for your time and knowledge and kindness have a great day! Bryant Nalls.
It's so negligible it isn't even worth worrying about. And that goes for any receiver. You could create some lag if you decide to use the upscaler on the receiver. But you shouldn't be doing that anyway. You want to rely only on the upscaler on your TV when gaming. Not the receiver.
The blinking red light typically is there to alert you to an issue. Since it is shutting down it is likely going into a self-protection mode to prevent further damage. You should have it checked out by an authorized service center.
Composite video wtf...for what? Just an FYI most receivers can’t up convert from composite to HDMI..so unless you are using an old tv that has component there’s no use for composite
literally 0 change for the past 4 years just adding pointless features like dvision, heos, alexa support. how about making it easy to fix since my sr6011 and 6010 both had $400 usd hdmi board failures. thanks marantz for making it possible to buy a new one every year :p
Someone help me out here, I can find a Onkyo 7.2 with 170W per channel and all pre outs for $300 but the Marantz 7.2 is a $1000 with 100W per channel. What's the Marantz doing differently with less power that gives it that price point?
They don’t test the same parameters. Well know cheating on the wattage. Did they test thd at 20-20khz? Probably not probably just a 1khz tone burst Go with McIntosh. Well worth the extra money for bulletproof guaranteed power.
@@adampruitt9211 The Onkyo RZ series are very good i think you can have a great deal on the Rz-830 right now, Price vs The Marantz you beter with the onkyo 830 its a beast of a receiver more powerful,, Marantz have Audyssey wich is beter but onkyo does a great job to. and both have pre out if you want to ad a power amp later.
Roof pizza- what the hell are you talking about, I can show you a 7.2 set up that will blow an atmos set up away, good sound doesn’t just rely on more speakers. With a real quality set of speakers amps and processors you can have a stereo room sound better then a surround room.
Q Acoustic 3020i or Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 for bookshelfs. Q Acoustic 3050i or Monitor Audio Bronze/Silver for floor standing. All are easy to drive and will sound great with the 1509.
@@thegrimyeaper when I was in best buy I put my hand in above all the different receivers they have on display in their hi fi room, the Marantz receivers were so hot I could hardly touch, the hottest by far. The Yamaha were the coolest. I believe that will make a difference on longevity
Bought 5014 terrible, made in Vietnam cheap cheap cheap, cheap plastic cheap remote, no toroidal trans, the amp section very week, need to buy amp separators , not sure it can drive surrounds, I have mission m74 fronts. Good only as preamp with atmos, good dac, surprises with sound of mp3 Buy old good maranz
Marantz is garbage...I’ve been doing AV for 12 years now and marantz is the worst..they all end up with power supply issues causing them not to turn on. On a budget and need a receiver ? Buy an integra, still cheap but better then marantz hands down.

Is there a difference in the sound between the 6013 and the 7012? thks
@@interestedtech1 The difference in sound and sound quality will be subjective from one listener to another and speaker type to speaker type.
@@thetrumanshow4791 that doesn't make sense.
Bought the 1509 well after the 1510 came out, got a sweet deal...Years later, still loving it!

I love Marantz awesome stereo system
marantz always has great product
These are just retuned,rebadged and overpriced denons
Straight to the point! I'm a subscriber.
Now I need to see what the difference in the SR6013 and SR7013 are.

No need to be a jerk about it jesus christ.
What I would have like you to describe is the type of sound and how it changes from one model to the next one. Is it balanced, warm, neutral. How about the 1609 sound?
They all have a warm sound and are very neutral. The SR series is warmer than the NR but the NR for its price point is great.
Audio Advice ?? How can it be warm AND neutral...?😣
So...presenting the 2018 AVRs as 2019 models? Clickbaiting?
Get a life

You can put a Chromecast dongle into one of the HDMI ports and receive audio and video! - $29
Why didn't you plug them in so we could see the display?

They all do those things well today. Marantz is better for music... Most will depend on your speakers and their placement... Recommend Elac UB5\UF5
These receivers have been out since summer of last year.
where is 8013
I have Bose AM-10 speakers , is 1509 compatible with it or go for some other Marantz model .reply me
How much input lag does it add by passing a gaming console thru one of these receivers?
It's so negligible it isn't even worth worrying about. And that goes for any receiver. You could create some lag if you decide to use the upscaler on the receiver. But you shouldn't be doing that anyway. You want to rely only on the upscaler on your TV when gaming. Not the receiver.
Anthem is bit unreachable , how much is Emotiva recommended?
my marantz NR1609 the stanby red light is blinking and it doesnt stays on

Marantz used to be amazing...now it's like any onkyo pioneer denon out there.
Michel Linschoten to be fair Marantz and Denon are the same company. Maranta tend to have better sound but it’s like comparing a Honda to an Acura
But do they actually display the volume bar on my tv in 4K?
The 2018 sr6013 does. It has a lot of feature. I'm running 9.2 and can eq each speaker if you want. First modern system I've bought in 15 years.

Which av preamp 7.2 processor would u recommend ?
Most twats have a hard time doing a 5.1 over a soundbar. Ya sure ya wanna do an outdated 7.2 rather than an Atmos or similar?
