Really satisfied with mine, I´ve had it for 2 weeks and I am blown away. The Dirac Live and Bass Management is absolutely worth the upgrade. I have one configuration for music listening and one for watching movies. After tuning it for my livingroom it sounds amazing! Highly recommend it!

Good Morten, we're glad you are enjoying it. It's always been a struggle, the entire home theater era, to get both your music and movies sounding their best. Marantz Cinema 30 really helps with that. On top of that, as you say - you can make it sound great in your own environment. Sweet!

Have you ever tested DENON AVC-X8500HA ? And this MARANTZ Cinema 300 is better than DENON X8500HA ?

On a German forum two users are posting that there is no significant sound difference between the C30 and C40. Could you compare them ?

@GramophoneMD 4 ай бұрын

HI Francois, some differences that seem quite apparent to one listener are much less significant to another. As we see it, the big differences are a) 11 channels on board vs. 9 in Cinema 40, with the option of 13 discrete channels if you add another amp. Extra channels can make a big difference in home theater listening, and b) more power in Cinema 30, which depending on volume level, the size of your room, and how demanding your speaker load, may or may not seem significant

If you run 7.1 side by side, I'm guessing you'll hardly hear any audible difference.

Could you please compare its analog stereo sound quality (in “pure direct” mode without ANY processing) with that of the outgoing SR8015? For many music-lovers that’s the most important consideration!

@GramophoneMD 4 ай бұрын

Hello Bombay, we'd like to - but we don't have any more 8015 on display to do so! But it is for sure at least as good, given the way Marantz laid out the amplifier section. Thanks for asking

@@GramophoneMDThank you for your reply. The SR8015 is still available here, considerably cheaper than the Cinema 30, so I think I will go with the older model.

Is it worth jumping from denon x2700h, does it make more sense for movies or vinyls too?

@GramophoneMD 3 ай бұрын

Hello Mr., while this is a multi-channel home theater receiver, our thought is that you will really like it on 2 channel as well - it's a great sounding receiver, the best they have ever done. But if you are primarily a 2 channel listener, you''ll want to evaluate whether that money is better spent on other elements in your system - for example, upgrading to better speakers or adding a second subwoofer.

SR-8015 same power & processing power, much better deal. Only advantage is Dirac.

@GramophoneMD Ай бұрын

Hi Robo, yes, as with so many consumer products, a new SR 8015 at closeout price is a great receiver deal. But there are many nice upgrades in Cinema 30; more processing power; four independently adjustable sub-outs, along with Dirac support; 13 channels of processing for adding a big power amp for the front channels; all HDMI supporting 8k, etc

I had a refurbished SR8015 for £1460 but the original box had been lost. Unfortunately when it arrived the whole front had been completely smashed in and as it’s an outgoing item there were no other ones available from the shop. Instead they gave a great deal on a cinema 40. It looks much nicer but is also 8k across the board. The processing is an improvement over the SR and it does sound awesome. It’s bit got as many channels but it’s future proof and to be honest with you I’m glad I ended up with the 40. I’m saving for a power amp now and when I get it, it will be not far from prefect. As much as I wanted the extra power and channels the SR is dated technology and the 40 is plenty loud even running all the 9 channels. It also runs cooler and has better internals.
