Marantz Unveils Four AV Receivers with Upgraded Sound and Connectivity

Marantz expands its home‑cinema lineup with four new AV receivers—Cinema 50 Series 2, Cinema 60 Series 2, Cinema 60 DAB Series 2 and Cinema 70s Series 2—each packing a 32‑bit, eight‑channel DAC. The flagship Cinema 50 offers nine amplification channels and 11.4 processing channels (with a Dolby Atmos Channel Expander), while the 60 and 70s models use seven channels (the 60 at 100W per channel, the 70s at 50W). Optional Dirac Live Room Correction, HEOS multi‑room, Bluetooth, and a future LE Audio update accompany features like 1440p passthrough and HDMI 2.1. Availability begins in August (with regional variations for some models) and prices range from about £950 / $1,500 / AU$1,800 up to £1,850 / $3,000 / AU$3,500 for the flagship.
