Join us at 9pm EST on 3/14/24 with Phil Jones from Masimo as we go over the engineering details of the performance enhancements the new Marantz Cinema 30 11.4CH AV receiver has over the venerable SR8015 it replaces. The new Cinema 30 AVR ($4,500) now sits at the top of Marantz’s receiver lineup. It offers HDMI 2.1 support on every input, 11 channels of amplification, 13.4 channels of processing, ESS Sabre DACs, optional Dirac, 4 independent subwoofer outputs and more. We do a breakdown of features, hardware upgrades and show actual measurement comparisons between the Cinema 30 and 40 and the SR8015. Is the Cinema 30 worthy of flagship status in the Marantz AVR line up? Watch our livestream to find out!

Since Denon and Marantz were taken over by Masimo, the products prices have rocketed. Now, they are pushing Marantz prices into the stratosphere. That after 6 months, big discounts are offered on the release price

@empire7179 4 месяца назад

So that's why the prices has double.

@michaeloconnor9465 4 месяца назад

@@empire7179 I watched a video by audioloics the Masimo man was begging it cost more to make marantz. They lie. All is about marketing and how they can sell value. Marantz always had HDAM, and a different transformer, they are taking the consumer for mugs.

@andrewlee7228 Месяц назад

the rotel was a stereo amp? if so, the c30 can surpass a dedicated stereo amp for music?

@Nathan-mj1cy Месяц назад

@@andrewlee7228 My Rotel was a 1555 multi channel amp not a 2 channel but the C30 is much better for music listening than the C50 and separate amp combo. Will it outperform a high end 2 channel system, of course not but it gives that warm Marantz sound and is on par with mid fi 2 channel gear in my opinion.

I just picked up an 8015 on close out. It sounds amazing! My strategy is to buy flagship products when they can be found at a steep discount (40% or so). So I'm three years behind the latest and greatest but you can get much better sound per dollar this way. There's no doubt the new Cinema 30 is an awesome product and I'll lie in wait until a great deal can be found!

I was waiting for this model to come out but I got such a good price over here in the UK on the Denon AVC-X8500HA (no tuner over here so an AV amp as opposed to a receiver and I have a separate tuner anyway) so I decided to buy it. I bought it for £2,249 so it was a no brainer for me. My previous AV amp was the Denon AVC-A11XV but of course no Dolby Atmos or DTS:X capability plus with the 8500HA I have the latest HDMI spec and other up to date specs, I had the 11XV for eighteen years and it's still "like new". I'll let you work out the £ to $ conversion on the 8500HA.

@oniiz8685 4 месяца назад

The great news is that the EU/UK AVC-X8500HA variant has MPEG-H (Sony's 360 Reality Audio) support like the latest models 2022/23/24 D+M AVR/AVP models ;)

@giovanni1269 4 месяца назад

Gene, any chances you would do a test/review on Integra 8.4?

@swayne1441 3 месяца назад

I really hope the 30 can get Dirac ART. I am badly in need of a new preamp/receiver to replace my Marantz 7007 but I am really trying to hold out until something more reasonable supports ART and this on the used market would be nearing the price I would call reasonable. Hopefully it would also work on the 50 since I do not really need the wattage so that extra cost would be a waste of money for me. I only use the receiver amps for side channels.

@ericshutter5305 3 месяца назад

Any Marantz AV15 or AV20 in the near future ?? Could use a new processor but the AV10 price is a bit much ...

@sethfm9773 4 месяца назад

I appreciate that Marantz/Denon work with Sony 360 spatial but I’m not going to an Amazon firestick or other Amazon streaming product. What I would like from Marantz/Denon in the future is support for two sets of side surround speakers for those with multiple rows.

@joes3800 4 месяца назад

I appreciate Marantz, having owned their AVRs and Processors (8805) for years. But I don't know about the benefits of HDAM. I recently switched to an ARCAM AV41 and I am getting noticeably improved clarity and dynamic range. For example, I recently re-watched Dune Part 1 and it was ridiculous all of the little audio effects and quiet dialogue that I never heard during multiple viewings of the movie with my 8805; dynamic range was also ridiculously improved since I was literally shocked / blown away during transitions from quiet to loud in a manner with the ARCAM that I had never before experienced with any other product. Again, Marantz is not bad at all and it holds a special place in my heart since their products have been the heart of my system for the better part of a decade... but ARCAM (even with my manual calibration, but especially with DIRAC) is a definitive upgrade over Marantz IMO. (Marantz is way more user friendly, though. So as long as you can get over the learning-curve of using the ARCAM and you don't care about its outdated GUI, I think you'll agree with me.)

@whitecrowuk575 4 месяца назад

There are big improvements here though- better dac, better noise. Dac is similar to Arcams now. And you will get ART, AV41 won’t

@joes3800 4 месяца назад

@@whitecrowuk575 How do you know that the AV41 won't eventually get ART? And I do see the Marantz improvements, including the apparent ability to turn the HDAM effects off. I will admit that the AV41 has infrequently given me a few bugs in setup (not in regular operation) that I never encountered with Marantz. But HEOS was always extremely buggy on all of my Marantz products, and I just can't get over the improvements in room correction (maybe moot now,) dynamic range, and clarity with ARCAM.

@oniiz8685 4 месяца назад

@Audioholics Hey Gene, I was wondering with your next catch up with Phil Jones if you could bring up the issue with the DTS Virtual:X virtualizer still being prohibited from using Dolby signals? This cross-format upmixing restriction issue that is still present even on the latest D+M X6800H/Cinema 30 AVR models has been a pet peeve of mine for quite some time, the Dolby cross-format restrictions have been abolished now for the past 4 years so this really shouldn't be present anymore on D+M's AVR/AVPs, can you please bring it to Phil Jones' attention or your contact at Masimo, it'd be greatly appreciated if they could remove this restriction in a future firmware update :)

@davidhirschy8761 9 дней назад

I had a Denon X6700H for a few weeks an returned it regarding video degradation. Was thinking about going to Marantz sr8015 but was told it used the same video processing board. So now I’m wondering should I go with the Onkyo RZ70 or the Sony 5000es. But sad I wouldn’t have the ability to add a external amp for 13channels. Oh and all are currently available for $2,000. Thoughts?

@jamesmorse6486 4 месяца назад

Great presentation. There are even more differences between the SR8015 and the C30 than cosmetics, Dirac support, and 4 subwoofer outputs. I currently own an SR8015 and am very happy with it. I will extract every ounce of value out of my SR8015 before considering an upgrade. Regardless, keep these interviews and presentations coming. This is the kind of information that really drives decision making and yet it is the least important information to share from a marketing perspective. One question concerning Gene's slide deck. What's up with Channel 4 on the slide at about the 11-minute mark? Seems like a glaring issue that you guys simply ignored.

@Audioholics 4 месяца назад

This new company that took over Marantz and Denon are going to lose money because these prices are ridiculous. I want to upgrade my Marantz SR-6015 but not at these prices. I mean I'm not poor but I'm not rich either.

@wadimek116 Месяц назад

Yeah, would be happy to upgrade if there was something meaningful. They barely improve, in denon case they went backwards with higher price. I want more channels, more power, possibly ditching the ab class to higher power d class, 200w per channel at 5 channel driven would be nice, 100 sinad, and 15.2 channel processing minimum. Could pay 5000usd for that but no more.

So revolutionary that mini dsp does much better job at subwoofer management and has much better eq possibilities with lower distortion and minimal price.

No it doesn't. Mdsp is fine if your processor doesn't have independent subs and EQ available but it's always better to do it in the processor than through an external box. I dumped my mdsp years ago and never looked back.
