Overview
A fully discrete Class A/B amplifier drives two speakers in this Marantz receiver, while six HDMI inputs and an ARC output let it sit between a TV and its sources. HEOS adds streaming, and the low chassis fits shelves where full size receivers do not.
It combines a hi-fi stereo amplifier with home theater video switching, so a TV system and a record collection share one box. There is no surround processing for extra speakers, which caps it at two channels plus subwoofers.
Who it's for
Music listeners who also watch films and play games through a pair of speakers and a sub. Home theater fans wanting rear or height speakers should look at a multichannel AV receiver.
Pros and cons
- Discrete Class A/B amplification
- Six HDMI inputs with ARC
- Phono input for a turntable
- Dual subwoofer outputs
- Stereo only, no surround channels
- Heavy for its slim size
- Software support date unknown
Performance notes
Class A/B output stages run warm but keep distortion low at normal listening levels, so speaker sensitivity decides how loud it plays cleanly. Bass extension with two subwoofers depends on calibration with the included Audyssey microphone. Video passes through the HDMI board to the TV over ARC.
