Of course, the Marantz SR8015 supports all current advanced audio standards: Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro and also Auro 3D. More information is available on the larger rectangular display, which is normally hidden behind a fold-down panel. This typically displays the selected input and the volume level. There’s a small round display on the front panel which is visible all the time. The other is an ample use of copper, including plating on the bottom panel and all the exposed screws. Weight is often a good proxy for build quality. Component-style DAB+/FM tuners are still available in Australia from Rotel, Sangean, RedbackĪ couple of other points worth mentioning about the Marantz SR8015 amplifier. are component tuners still a thing? It turns out that they are, even though few are available from the more famous consumer electronics producers. While FM can also be a fine source, we can’t say we mourn the lack of an analogue tuner in this unit. This being 2021, and the bulk of Australians now having access to digital radio, we reckon that DAB+ is a useful part of a complete home entertainment experience. Marantz receivers typically have an FM and an AM band, but no DAB+ capability.

The Bluetooth works both ways: you can connect your phone to the amplifier to play back audio, or you can connect the amplifier to a set of Bluetooth headphones for quiet, wireless, audio enjoyment. A couple of antennas can be screwed onto the rear of the unit for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi reception.

There are also two optical digital audio inputs, plus a couple of coaxial ones.Īnd, of course, there are plenty of network capabilities, along with Bluetooth. And that doesn’t include the phono input, suitable for moving-magnet cartridges. There are plenty of other inputs, including eight analogue stereo, one of them on the front panel. All HDMI input resolutions can be upscaled to anything higher, all the way up to 8K. Doubts have been cast about the ability of the first generation of HDMI chips in AV receivers and amplifiers when it comes to handling 100/120Hz 4K and 8K in all its incarnations, such as with HDR encoding. That’s for your latest-generation gaming machine. And one of them is special: it supports 8K video at up to 50/60p, and 4K at up to 100/120p. assuming it’s a model that still supports component video.Īs for HDMI inputs, there are plenty of those. To see higher resolutions sent to the component video inputs, you’ll have to plug the component video outputs into your TV. Inputs can both be converted to HDMI and upscaled all the way to the max, though only if the input is 480i/60 or 576i/50. well, perhaps you want to briefly plug in an old VCR to play an ancient tape? The amplifier includes video conversion capabilities: the component and composite video Yes, this amplifier still has plenty of composite and component video inputs, including a composite video input on the front panel in case you. Yes, we know that Dolby Atmos and DTS:X are flexible enough to take advantage of even more loudspeakers, but this set-up is what the industry seems to have adopted as a ‘full’ mainstream arrangement. That is front left, centre and right, then surround left and right, also surround rear left and right, plus two subs and four overhead speakers. The nominal reason for 11 channels is that it supports a set of speakers up to 7.2.4.

We suppose that there exist some particularly exotic speakers somewhere in the world which may not work well with this receiver, but as we’ll see, it seemed very comfortable even with quite difficult loads. The amplifiers can be set to run optimally with 8, 6 or 4-ohm loads on all channels.

It comes equipped with 11 amplifier channels, each rated at up to 140W output into 8 ohms across the full audio bandwidth, at miniscule (0.05%) levels of total harmonic distortion, two channels driven. We shall return to the tuner thing (because we think it’s interesting), but first let’s get into the core of the Marantz SR8015 multichannel amplifier.
