Looks like a beautiful unit. I remember Marantz having a special sound back in the 70's. Several friends had them. I was always impressed by the unique sound and quality.
If I wanted to run a 10 year old Marantz SACD Player, would I be better off using an analog connection to the SR6650 or use a toslink or coaxial cable? Not sure if the SACD player has a better DAC? If I use an analog connector, would the SR6650 still use its internal DAC?
2:10 Does anyone have info of this "add-on" box for console feature support? Everything I've read so far seems to suggest VRR, ALLM, etc, is already support by the SR6015.
Denon tends to have a slightly more Neutral sound and Marantz slightly more warm. I personally tend to prefer Marantz. However these "differences" are subtle and sometimes you really cannot tell when going in blind. Both are solid products and neither is the "wrong choice."
@@GramophoneMD Hello & thanks for your feedback What turntable would you suggest me getting.? Any models.? Or Brand names.?. Sorry for my lack of knowledge in this rivalist domain...Help price point within 500-700$. Have à good 1. LEONARD
Mine is getting a 100F temperature... Eco mode on, only 5 channels (8 ohms speakers) plugged in, a well ventiladed place when using below -25dB volumes for 20 minutes... Is this normal?
The chassis is known to get a little toasty, and yes that is normal. Also turn eco mode off, it honestly achieves nothing other than robbing your speakers of power.
Thanks D-dubs, a 9.2. system usually has three speakers in front (LCR), two on the sides of the room (often either on the wall or ceiling), two in the rear, and a pair overhead in the ceiling. Two subwoofers are the .2 in a 9.2 system. Assuming you have a 9.2 channel receiver, this gives you a very immersive sound experience, similar to what you get at the local cinema. If you visit an audio dealer with home theater on display, they can play demo material that makes it clear
Hi Thomas, this unit is not advertised as being Room ready. Marantz specs the amp output into 8 or 6 ohm loads, but not 4 ohm, so you'd not want to pair this receiver with a 4 ohm nominal speaker
@@GramophoneMD Im a new in this world and would really appreciate some help:) I have 3 speakers called Martin Logan SLM x3. Two on the sides and a center is the idea. I want two subs, would the Martin Logan Dynamo x600`s be a good choice? And would this Marantz be enough for the job? Thank you so much!
Both will do just that, it is just about preference for a slightly warmer or more flat character, but one nod I'll give the Denon is more power for similar cost.
