Marantz’ s new Cinema series AV receivers are a stylish way to go 8K
By Simon Cohen September 26, 2022 Share AV receivers might be the nerve center of every serious home theater setup, but these big (and usually shiny and black) boxes aren’t exactly the most beautiful things to look at. However, Marantz’s new Cinema line of 8K Dolby Atmos AV receivers might just be the first to give folks a real alternative to the flat-panel-full-of-buttons aesthetic we’ve become accustomed to. The new models start at $1,200 for the Cinema 70s and go up to $7,000 for the flagship AV 10. They will be available by the end of October, though only the Cinema 50 and 60 will be released initially.

It’s a design that Marantz debuted on its Model 30 stereo amplifier. These improvements are more than superficial. The Cinema series also has a new graphical user interface, as well as voice command compatibility. Here’s the full Cinema range. Marantz Cinema AV 10
Marantz The flagship of the Cinema line is a 15.4-channel beast, but unlike the rest of the Cinema line, it’s a preamplifier, which means you’ll need a full-fledged, dedicated amp to drive sound to your speakers. But we’re guessing that if you have the kind of home theater set up that would benefit from the AV 10’s capabilities, you won’t mind splurging an additional $7,000 for the Marantz Amp 10, the 15.4-channel amplifier that has been designed to be the perfect companion to the AV 10. $7,000 HDMI 2.1, HDCP 2.3 Seven HDMI inputs with full 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz support Two HDMI outputs with full 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz support, one HDMI output with 4K/120Hz HDMI ARC/eARC Phono input Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, Auro 3D HDR / HLG / Dolby Vision / HDR10+ / Dynamic HDR Audyssey room tuning Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet AirPlay 2 Alexa / Google Voice Assistant / Apple HomeKit compatible HEOS compatible Unbalanced and balanced outputs for each channel Multizone capable Remote app compatible Marantz Cinema 40
