New A/V Receivers from Marantz

Home Theater Blog: Marantz recently unveiled five new surround receivers, retailing between €450 and €1,500.  Several of the new receivers have 4 HDMI inputs, compared to the standard 2/3 HDMI inputs found on many other A/V receivers.

First up in the line is the SR4001 Dolby Digital EX/DTS ES Surround Receiver, followed by the SR5001 XM Ready Surround Sound Receiver.

Moving up a little farther into the line is the ZR6001SP with “DAvED technology” (Digital Audio via Electrical Distribution).  DAvED is a multi-room audio distribution standard, which allows for plug and play multi-zone operation.

Pushing into the upper tier, is the SR7001 THX Select2 Surround Sound A/V Receiver with 4-in/1-out HDMI (version 1.2).

And last is the flagship surround receiver, which weighs in at a hefty 33lbs (around 15kg), the Marantz SR8001 THX Select2 Surround Receiver with 4-in, 2-out HDMI.
