    he Marantz home theater receivers have always been priced just a little higher than some other competitors that at first glance might have similar specs. But if you take a deeper dive under the hood or even just look at how much they weigh and their build quality, you’ll understand why they are so well respected by home theater enthusiasts. These units continue their tradition of making fantastic sounding gear that has both all of the current up to date tech for the modern home theater and that classic warm, Marantz sound.

      I'm the same here in as much that I have a 7.1.4 setup. My four Atmos speakers are in place but they are not connected yet as my present AV amp is the venerable 7.1 Denon AVCA11XVA a cracking model with high quality two channel sound. This Denon model doesn't have a tuner hence the term amp as opposed to a receiver. Models destined to the UK from manufacturers like Denon and Marantz tend not to include tuners on their premium versions, but as I have a separate tuner it doesn't bother me. I was looking at the Marantz 8015 but i'm now going to wait for the (hopefully) eventual replacement in this new Cinema series. Apart from the Cinema 40 not being an eleven point one or two capable model my present AV amp is 140 watts (the same as the 8015) whereas the 40 is 125 watts. Over here in the UK the Cinema Series is also available in premium silver like my present AV amp, although not the AMP10 and AV10, they are only available in black. Anyway here's looking forward to a (possible / probable) 8015 replacement such as a Cinema 30 or 20.

      @@vishaalgargi True, but a Mini DSP just adds more complexity and circuitry to the system. It used to be the only way to get 4 subs integrated into a HT without spending $15k or more. Having 4 independent subwoofer outs built in to a receiver or processor is a much more elegant way to handle it.

      @@martybrazill7935 minidsp is not really that complex. Its technically a rca splitter but with inbuilt processing which enables the user to tune the input to his liking. Also i think minidsp is overpriced for what it is. Rca splitter can do the job too since we are gonna take input from the receivers sub pre out which already applies the necessary LPF and with the help of splitters we can feed that same lpf signal from receiver to multi subs. Mini dsp is for those who want to manipulate/tune the original signal to their liking. For example it is very useful for applying additional filters and for boosting specific range of frequencies db level. IMHO a simple rca splitter is more than enough to feed multiple subs.
      And yes dedicated multi sub pre outs are a good thing but i only wish that it doesn't come with a premium since a splitter can essentially do the same thing and get me my results.

      The Cinema 40 drops to 87.5 watts at 7 channels driven from 125 watts, 2 channels driven (Marantz 70% Guarantee) That is still a lot of RMS Watts power. In the real world when would all 7 channels be fully driven at the same time? Remember going from 50 watts to 100 watts RMS is only 3dB change in (SPL) sound pressure level so the difference is negligible to really worry about it. It has pre-outs anyway if one wants to add more power one day.

    • @techsamurai11
      @techsamurai11 Рік тому

      ​@@euphorichaggis8486 You can't use the 70% guarantee on the 7000 series. All the 7000 series have shown 75 watts in 7ch and in all honesty the 5003 and 5014 matched or beat the 7000 series in terms of power in benchmarks making them the better purchase at 1/2 the price. The line as a whole averages 70%, a particular model doesn't have to.
      As for power, if it can only deliver 75 watts with 7 channels in 8 ohms, how much will it deliver to your LCR which may require 2-4 ohms in some frequencies? It's much harder to drive 4 ohm loads in multi-channel. There's a reason people use 300 watts just for 2 channel or toroidals that outmuscle the Cinema 40.
      What about bursts where the scene is quiet and then the F-14s pop into scene at 100db in Top Gun? Now, it's all relative to price. This AVR at $2,000 is great, at $2,500 it's priced right.
      In fact, if I lived in Europe, I would pick the 7015 at $1,500 (although it only has 1 HDMI 2.1).

    I have been waiting for this review. I currently have a Denon AVR-X4500H but want to upgrade. I will have a separate amp for my mains and another for my center and surrounds. The avr will only power the atmos channels. I was hoping the cinema 40 was going to provide a lot more benefits over the cinema 50. But it looks like I will be able to go with the cinema 50 and use the saved money for the DIRAC upgrade.

    • @techsamurai11

      The 8015
      Pros
      Toroidal transformer
      more channels (11 vs 9)
      possibly lower DAC following fire at AKM factory but Cinema 40's may share DACs with Cinema 50, 60, and 70 which is a $1,300 AVR.
      better power (there's no bench of the 40 but we can assume 100 watts with 5 channels and a dip to 75 with 7 based on the 7000)
      Cons
      1 HDMI
      3 year warranty vs a 5 year warranty
      fewer subs (2 vs 4)
      No support for Dirac (but you have to pay to get it)
      The 8015 is 30% overpriced and the Cinema 40 is 40%. Someone bought the 7015 (same as Cinema 40 just different look) in Europe for $1,500 so you do the math 😀

    From another review on the 50 ..it was stated that the sound quality was no better than the model it replaced...and if the 40 has same chip as the 50 why the testing in Japan on the 40 for sound? I think you have a new look and new features and added cost for when Dirac comes on board ...not really worth the upgrade since it doesnt sound any better than the models it is replacing...so these new models are just to get the latest upgrades ...but not for sound quality ...I hope the AV 10 processor is an improvement in sound over the models it is replacing and not just some pricy upgrades.

    How is 125 watts robust?

    • @AudioAdvice
      @AudioAdvice  Рік тому

      Many companies throw around crazy wattage numbers to make their products seem great. However, the top manufacturers tend to just shoot it straight. Most people are listening in home theater rooms to sub 20 watts of power on each channel 95% of the time. There will be quick periods of burst up to higher but in most cases a truly clean 125 watts with low distortion can produce more spl that most people need. But to your point, it all depends on how the wattage is measured. Some companies will boast big numbers like 300 watts per channel but it is at 2 channels driven with a high distortion which is like the equivalent of 50 watts per channel in a receiver like this one. Thank you for pointing this out as its a very misunderstood number that is highly manipulated by many manufacturers so its worthy probably of its own video and many people might see 125 as really high whereas others might see 300 as really high (and also depends on how many Ohms you are talking about).

    • @kingkobra1956
      @kingkobra1956 Рік тому

      @Audio Advice I love the Marantz Cinema 40 and the only reason I will not purchase it is because of its 125 per channel wattage. If it's wattage was at least 140 per channel I would reconsider my line of thinking. I am not primarily a theater enthusiast, but a stereo listener and I have not had a amplifier below 150 watts per channel except for my first stereo purchase.

    Wow, $1k more and the same DAC as the 50. The DAC in this latest line up is a downgrade compared to previous models too, due to supply chain issues. Now I see no reason to buy these over the cheaper Denon 3800h. Same # channels, same DAC. Still better than the Enotiva MR1 tho.

    • @techsamurai11
      @techsamurai11 Рік тому +2

      It’s not supply chain, it’s greed. They can easily get quality DACs. A $100 headphone amp has a better Dac and must cost 1/4th of that to make. Surely the box, enclosure, other parts cost something. They just wanted to raise prices and put worse parts. They can have a stellar LCR dac and lesser surround dacs.
      They are just relying on our ignorance and for the most part, they are right.

    • @techsamurai11
      @techsamurai11 Рік тому +1

      The 3800h has a worse Dac than the 3700h which started at $1200. Denon and Marantz are a disaster over the past two years. I think the Cinema 40 has the same Dac as the Cinema 70 which is one third the price. Marantz are playing us for fools.
      Onkyo may release a new model which hopefully can be benched. Sony just released its new models but the proprietary room correction needs to be tested. I think it uses the same correction as the HT-A9 which has received good reviews but people want to control predicted curves nowadays. It may not be what you hear but your brain will match the curve.
      It’s a great time to buy speakers but not the best time to buy an AVR. I’d go for Dirac from Onkyo or Arcam or wait to hear how the Sony 5000 and 7000 handle room correction. They will sound good and have power.
