Back in the middle to late 70s I had an old Marantz 1060 but I dearly loved. Thirty honest watts per channel and beautiful clear warm sound. I even used to fill our school auditorium with music during a dance recital one time with a couple of KLH ones
Wow very nice. I wanted to watch TV as well and found the Entegra 2 channel TN 07 which I have been very happy with. But this is a step up with the new inputs.
Yes! It has a low pass filter (for the subwoofer) but it is not clear if that amplifier also has a high pass filter for the main speakers? For example, with a a low pass filter set at 80 hertz (for the sub) are the main speakers receiving only a signal of 80 hertz and above? There are workarounds for room ready although at an extra cost (i.e., Wiim pro plus).
@@AudioAdvicethanks. What does it mean in practical terms when the video says that the two subs input run in parallel and not discreet? Should the subs connect to the low level input or LFE input from the marantz? I own a Rel sub.
@@Capitan_Cavernicola_1 Some receivers have two subwoofer outputs that give you individual control of each one. In this case, both output jacks get the same signal. Most of the REL subs let you connect it using speaker cable which would be the preferred method for two channel especially.
@@AudioAdvice, Hello and thank you for this information, it's greatly appreciated by the way. I am thinking about pairing the Stereo 70s with a set of loudspeakers (Dali Oberon 7, 88.5db, 6 ohms) and I am also thinking to add a subwoofer in order to "help" the mains and redirect the lows to the sub so that the highs and mids get more room in the mains. Would this work and should I see an improvement in the overall sound? Important note: I am not interested in improving bass but the overall quality and performance.
@@rklmbd2934Those end pieces AREN'T aluminum? My RIDICULOUSLY affordable Onkyo TX-8555 two channel receiver boats a real, thick brushed aluminum faceplate and milled volume knob.....
Looks like a good fit for my 2ch setup. But here's my dumb question... If a movie is sending a Dolby Digital surround signal over ARC, will the stereo 70s be able to decocde the signal? I get it will only be 2ch but will still get sound??
I'm wondering if this will be the replacement for the PM7000N too, or if they have something coming down the pike that is similar, but with more power and less HDMI ports to cater more to true 2 channel setups.
This is the direct replacement of the NR1200. The PM7000N has no HDMI inputs, and is engineered as a pure stereo amplifier, with streaming features, and also doesn't have a tuner. They'll probably replace it sometime, but for now this Stereo 70S replaces the NR1200.
Same, I’ve really enjoyed my PM7000N for the past two years, but would like a version with more power like the Model 30 while including the built in streaming… love being able to control everything with my phone from anywhere in the house!
This amp is perfect! It has all of the features and connectivity you'll ever need for 2 channel setups. I just don't like the faceplate at all. It looks busy. Give me a flat faceplate like NAD or Yamaha. I also don't care for the porthole screen. You can display more info on a long ribbon screen.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, most people like the hommage to the Marantz of old, but that is not for everyone. It sure does sound great for its price though and is built very well!
Thanks so much for your review I 1st saw the cinema 50 then came across the slimline 70s which is a bit cheaper. I have currently problems with my denon and look at replacing it . I am running 5:1 surround and turntable do you think the 70 or 50 as really like the 70 design and is there much difference in the models.
Thank you for the excellent review! A few questions. How does the Stereo 70s compare with the Cinema 60? I can't decide between the two of them. I plan to the Stereo 70s or Cinema 60 in a 2.0 setup with Dali Oberon 7 (88.5, 6 ohms). Also considering to add a sub later. 1. Which one should offer the better audio experience when streaming via Tidal Connect? The Cinema 60 has a bit more power but it's architecture is designed for multi channel. 2. Given the differences in Dolby Atmos support, will there by a significant difference when watching movies? Hard to decide.
Hi there, i was wondering if this amp would be a good pic to power a pair of JBL L82s? it will be used as a general stereo streaming and phono in a medium to small room. rock, edm, and some classical.
Hi ! Im about to upgrade my stereo. Running Monitor audio silver 8 with an old HK980. Sound pretty good for what it is but i want to upgrade to something newer. I came across this marantz stereo 70 and Yamaha r-n800a. Can't decide what to get. Does marantz got the power?
It looks fantastic. But I am wondering if this new model of Stereo 70s is suitable for floor standing speakers, like 6 ohm, 40-125W Monitor Audio Rx6? I am currently using old Marantz SR6005 (110W) paired with mentioned stereo speakers and I'm wondering if I could upgrade only AV part of my setup.
Your older 6005 has more current reserve, this would not be an audio upgrade. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to find the best upgrade path.
i have the model 30 with polk L 600s . the speakers are 4 ohms . the M 30 puts out 200 w at 4 ohms so the polks really come alive .the sound stage is spectacular in an unconditioned room . my room is an audio nightmare but the marantz and polks seem to laugh at this , producing incredible separation and depth .
Not even close, it's just a 75 watt version of the 70. It's just a 200$ dip. I'd say they probably sound about the same. Mabey a bit cleaner but if you preamp only it will be identical
Very similar! It will depend on if you want more channels or can make do with only 2. Reach out to our experts at audioadvice.com if you need more help choosing!

Am I correct in understanding that this new 70s does not have a room correction suite such as Dirac or Audyssey? Everything has to be dialed in manually?

Does this unit have a high pass filter for the subwoofer output or just low pass? A high pass seems more useful so you can set the speakers to small and re-route the bass to the sub. Sometimes these things are figure out just reading specs and watching videos. Thank you for the helpful video.
Loving the looks of all or the new Marantz line - the 40N, the Cinema line and now the Stereo line. However I purchased a slimline Marantz NR 1510 November 2022 along with a matching Marantz MM7025 2 x140w Power Amplifier and am quite pleased with the results. The MM7025 powering my Paradigm Prestige main speakers and the NR 1510 powereing the Paradigm center and rears. While I may not have the Gold Marantz badge I do have Silver ones matching my AVR and Amps silver feet, which also goes along nicely with the Paradigm Prestige's silver drivers. Yea yea, I do still have upgradeitis but I like my little 5.1 set-up ✌
This new range have been available for many months in the UK. There is no doubt that the sound is excellent but for me the lack of component input and that tiny display and knobs are a bit of a turn off. I will stick with my NR1711.
For music lover… A low pass filter without a high pass filter is an unfortunate technical omission in an otherwise great looking and sounding piece of hifi equipment. Lack of Roon readiness is minus too.
Yes, that is typical home theater receiver nomenclature, they all roll off the mains at the same frequency, some home theater receivers allow you to change the LFE in relation @@o0divinity0o
I'm trying to figure out how this is better than the Cinema 70S, which can be had for $250 less. It really feels like the 2-channel tax. Edit: The more I look at it, the worse it gets. It doesn't have discrete subwoofer outputs and doesn't even have an active crossover. The Cinema 70S has an active crossover, but sadly not independent sub outs. Why would they not include these features? Massive miss.
The Marantz Cinema 70s is $1,200 and the Stereo is cheaper at $1,000. So you will save $200 with the stereo version. We do wish it had independent sub outs.
@@AudioAdvice The Cinema 70S is available on Accessories4Less for $750 with a 5 year warranty. Missing an active crossover is an instant deal breaker and provides no reason for us to wait for the price to drop on this unit. Heck, even the Cinema 60 is on sale for $900 right now, and the AVR-X3800H is factory refurbished with a 3 year warranty for $1200. It has 4 sub outs with (is it 2 or all 4 of) them being discrete.
Confusing as to why they wouldn’t make the 2 subwoofers in a discreet format for this price. Anyone who is running two subs is a little above a novice and will cause them to pass this unit by where they would have probably bought it.
I disagree. I have 2 subs in stereo myself, and would never look at something of this level anyway. Unless it was for a gift maybe. This is a $1k do it all. It’s a receiver. It’s not high end at all. There’s two types of people who have more than one sub IME. And it’s 2 channel guys like myself that are really into it, or it’s bass heads/home theater guys that aren’t really into SQ like myself. And I seriously doubt they’re going to care as this is how almost every type of product in this price/performance category does the sub control. And stereo vs mono subs isn’t a huge difference in SQ anyway. This isn’t designed, priced, nor marketed for high end 2 channel guys. It’s designed for the type of listener that was described in this video, and I doubt most will even care.
@@amb3cog This is where you're wrong. There's a nearly 200-page thread on AudioScienceReview discussing stereo amplifiers with active and adjustable bass management, for $1000 or under. I was so excited to see this video pop up, because I thought I had finally found the perfect product that fits those requirements. Unfortunately, the amplifier has neither discrete subwoofer outputs nor active bass management. It doesn't even have a crossover or high pass filter. Massive miss for Marantz. They could have cornered the market with just those two features. The Cinema 70S has a crossover and three more channels, along with a host of other features that are missing from this device, for only $200 more. And it can be had for $750 already, factory refurbished. There's no reason to get this amplifier over the Cinema 70S, in my opinion. People that want a two-channel setup will likely want an active crossover, and a good chunk of them will also want discrete subwoofer outputs. I have two subs in my living room, two subs at my desk, and wanted to add a second sub to the bedroom setup. This would have been perfect, but guess I'll have to wait until they improve.
@@amb3cogDismissing a product simply on price says a lot! I also am running 2 subs thru a Denon 800H. More than I wanted to spend, certainly not high end, but the dual sub output with crossover control sold me on it. BTW, in your opinion, can any receiver be high end?
Be no good for movies as its only PCM sound 2ch with no Digital Decoders like Dts, Dolby Digital, so you won't get LFE channel, Bass effects in movie soundtracks from Subwoofer
Blah looking main faceplate and knobs! Overpriced for a stereo unit! Too bad they couldn't have incorporated the original flywheel somehow, for a retro look!😮
I don't care for the faceplates and aesthetics of the Marantzes, either, and I used to buy their CD changers - in fact, I'm still using a CC4001. The matte faceplates and knobs of the new models just don't do it for me; I prefer shiny brushed aluminum faces and volume knobs. I'll probably be looking at a Denon AVR to replace my old Onkyo that's giving me issues now.

While I may not have the Gold Marantz badge I do have Silver ones matching my AVR and Amps silver feet, which also goes along nicely with the Paradigm Prestige's silver drivers.
Yea yea, I do still have upgradeitis but I like my little 5.1 set-up ✌
Nice setup! Thanks for watching and sharing 😁
SR7011 still going strong. 💪 I'll wait.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Hi, any opinions on how this compares to the Cambridge Audio AXR100, purely in terms of sound quality?
Chat or call with our experts at audioadvice.com and they can help you out!
Is this 3D compatible?
It should, but we have not tested it, however anything with HDMI 1.4 and higher is supposed to support 3D.
@@AudioAdviceThank you for the answer.
This new range have been available for many months in the UK.
There is no doubt that the sound is excellent but for me the lack of component input
and that tiny display and knobs are a bit of a turn off.
I will stick with my NR1711.
Thanks for sharing!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST!!!

@@AudioAdvice and when do you think this will be available to purchase? I’m ready now

11 months later… you can pick a re-certified unit from Marantz for $599. Denon & Marantz both have a 25% off sale right now.
For music lover… A low pass filter without a high pass filter is an unfortunate technical omission in an otherwise great looking and sounding piece of hifi equipment. Lack of Roon readiness is minus too.
It is a true subwoofer filter. Yes, Roon would be nice, but a few years of Roon costs as much as this guy. Thanks for watching
My personal opinion is that the NR1200 looks better.
Thanks for sharing, it is personal opinion
Oh come on, no high pass filter? 😢
It does have that, we called out how nice it is to see this in a two channel unit. Its in 10Hz steps over most of the range. Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice No, that’s the low pass filter? :)
It does both, it rolls the bass out of the mains, no data on the slope but likely 4th order@@o0divinity0o
@@AudioAdvice are you sure? It says low pass filter in the menu?
Yes, that is typical home theater receiver nomenclature, they all roll off the mains at the same frequency, some home theater receivers allow you to change the LFE in relation @@o0divinity0o
They missed a trick by not adding a Digital Tuner. AM/FM only tuner is getting a groan in my opinion...
Thanks for sharing. We would have liked to see that too.
@@AudioAdviceNo digital tuner but it has HEOS!
In a nutshell. Marantz cut the surrounds channels, changed the faceplate and doubled the price
I'm trying to figure out how this is better than the Cinema 70S, which can be had for $250 less. It really feels like the 2-channel tax.
Edit: The more I look at it, the worse it gets. It doesn't have discrete subwoofer outputs and doesn't even have an active crossover. The Cinema 70S has an active crossover, but sadly not independent sub outs. Why would they not include these features? Massive miss.
The Marantz Cinema 70s is $1,200 and the Stereo is cheaper at $1,000. So you will save $200 with the stereo version. We do wish it had independent sub outs.
@@AudioAdvice The Cinema 70S is available on Accessories4Less for $750 with a 5 year warranty. Missing an active crossover is an instant deal breaker and provides no reason for us to wait for the price to drop on this unit. Heck, even the Cinema 60 is on sale for $900 right now, and the AVR-X3800H is factory refurbished with a 3 year warranty for $1200. It has 4 sub outs with (is it 2 or all 4 of) them being discrete.
The stereo has 75 watts instead of the 50 watts from the cinema
It also utilizes the HDAM chip that is found in the Cinema 40.
I can't get beyond the number of complaints about this model as seen on Amazon. ☹
Are you looking at the STEREO 70s or CINEMA 70s?
@@AudioAdvice What is the model identifier from Marantz, rather than marketing name?
The reviews are tied to NR1200 for some reason. This model only came out in September
Confusing as to why they wouldn’t make the 2 subwoofers in a discreet format for this price. Anyone who is running two subs is a little above a novice and will cause them to pass this unit by where they would have probably bought it.
That's a good question. We would have liked to see that feature too.
I disagree. I have 2 subs in stereo myself, and would never look at something of this level anyway. Unless it was for a gift maybe. This is a $1k do it all. It’s a receiver. It’s not high end at all.
There’s two types of people who have more than one sub IME. And it’s 2 channel guys like myself that are really into it, or it’s bass heads/home theater guys that aren’t really into SQ like myself.
And I seriously doubt they’re going to care as this is how almost every type of product in this price/performance category does the sub control. And stereo vs mono subs isn’t a huge difference in SQ anyway.
This isn’t designed, priced, nor marketed for high end 2 channel guys. It’s designed for the type of listener that was described in this video, and I doubt most will even care.
@@amb3cog This is where you're wrong. There's a nearly 200-page thread on AudioScienceReview discussing stereo amplifiers with active and adjustable bass management, for $1000 or under. I was so excited to see this video pop up, because I thought I had finally found the perfect product that fits those requirements. Unfortunately, the amplifier has neither discrete subwoofer outputs nor active bass management. It doesn't even have a crossover or high pass filter. Massive miss for Marantz. They could have cornered the market with just those two features. The Cinema 70S has a crossover and three more channels, along with a host of other features that are missing from this device, for only $200 more. And it can be had for $750 already, factory refurbished. There's no reason to get this amplifier over the Cinema 70S, in my opinion. People that want a two-channel setup will likely want an active crossover, and a good chunk of them will also want discrete subwoofer outputs. I have two subs in my living room, two subs at my desk, and wanted to add a second sub to the bedroom setup. This would have been perfect, but guess I'll have to wait until they improve.
@@amb3cogDismissing a product simply on price says a lot! I also am running 2 subs thru a Denon 800H. More than I wanted to spend, certainly not high end, but the dual sub output with crossover control sold me on it. BTW, in your opinion, can any receiver be high end?
not silver face with incandescent bulb and not vu meter= non 70s
Fair enough!
Denon inside

I personally have never liked the sound of Marantz nor Yamaha for that matter.
It isn't for everyone!
Be no good for movies as its only PCM sound 2ch with no Digital Decoders like Dts, Dolby Digital, so you won't get LFE channel, Bass effects in movie soundtracks from Subwoofer
If your setup is only two channel then it'll be fine for movies. But yes, it will not be for surround sound.
Blah looking main faceplate and knobs! Overpriced for a stereo unit! Too bad they couldn't have incorporated the original flywheel somehow, for a retro look!😮
It seems they are transitioning to this look for all their new products. Thanks for watching!
I don't care for the faceplates and aesthetics of the Marantzes, either, and I used to buy their CD changers - in fact, I'm still using a CC4001.
The matte faceplates and knobs of the new models just don't do it for me; I prefer shiny brushed aluminum faces and volume knobs. I'll probably be looking at a Denon AVR to replace my old Onkyo that's giving me issues now.
Maranz, the most disappointing piece of audio equipment ever purchased. Did not live up to ratings nor did it last long, a door stop in a garage.
Sorry you had trouble with yours. We have found their service to be good. If you purchased yours from Audio Advice, we would be happy to help you resolve your issue.
Every merican review starts with Sol Morantz and his humble bla! Bla! I just stop, leave a thumbs down, and move on..🤦🏾♂️
Thanks for the feedback.
