Our thoughts

Balanced XLR pre-outs on all 11.4 channels make this a natural centrepiece for a large dedicated theatre running separate power amplification. Each channel also has RCA outputs for connection flexibility.

Marantz HDAM discrete circuitry and a toroidal power transformer are designed to keep the signal path clean and controlled for demanding multichannel material. Seven HDMI inputs, each 8K compatible, plus eARC let the sources, games console and screen all run through one processor. Four independent subwoofer outputs let each sub be set up on its own, and Audyssey calibration can be upgraded to Dirac Live.

Best suited to large media rooms and dedicated home theatres that need Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro and AURO-3D processing, with HEOS bringing multi-room streaming to the rest of the house. Our team can talk through amplifier matching, speaker layout and how the room correction route fits your existing system, by phone or in store.
