My Marantz SR7005 Review

In a nut shell… WOW!

 

Marantz sr7005 Home Theater Receiver

Today we’ll be looking at the Marantz SR7005 Audio Video receiver . It’s an overall look into the super high end referenced line of Audio Video Recievers. The Marantz SR7005  is really a 3D ready 7. 1 A/V Networking receiver has the appearance and performance comparable to similar  products in its class, at an inexpensive price. Marantz SR7005 includes probably the most advanced codecs for allowing the highest enjoyment AND excitement from your audio and video sources.

The audio “brain” on the Marantz SR7005  is the latest technology 400Mhz, 32-bit Sharc DSP from Analog Devices, that easily handles HD audio decoding along with the Audyssey MultEQ XT PRO room equalisation automatic set-up. To squeeze the very best audio through the Marantz SR7005, it uses a segmented power system, with separate power supplies for each key audio section, and substantial internal protection of key elements to avoid electrical disturbance.

While some receivers provide a single Audyssey technology that will adapt the sound system’s performance to the listening region, the Marantz SR7005 serves up three. First, Audyssey Dynamic Volume makes up for sound level differences as you switch from source to source, it also dampens the boisterous audio quality of commercials so it’s not so overwhelming.

Second, Dynamic EQ maintains the original bass to treble tonal equilibrium of the sound regardless of how loudly or softly you play your favourite movies or music. Lastly, Audyssey Multi EQ room calibration automatically evens the frequency response of your room and speakers for an audio expertise customized into the exclusive qualities of your listening area.

The term “home theater” doesn’t refer to “a TV and some speakers in the living room”, it evokes audio plus video  throughout  the house. As the Marantz SR7005 A/V receiver  is actually capable of offering high-performance audio and video inside your family room, it’s also equipped to give the sound experience above a single room.

Enjoy the world of handheld audio with the Marantz SR7005. You connect the optional  RX101 Bluetooth module  into your Marantz SR7005  rear panel M-XPort so you can enjoy regular Marantz sound quality from your favourite Bluetooth capable sources including iPod, iPad and smart-phones.

So my final thoughts for Marantz SR7005  are: For looks, it is sleek and slick. Very classic look but still modern. Even my wife loved how it looks :) . When the front door is closed, you have a round display that tells you input and volume level. The one thing I wish it had was the current surround mode but not the end of the world.

The Marantz sr7005 is a Great Receiver, lots of bells and whistles. Sound quality will blow you away, very clean, powerful and top-notch processing. I was holding out for the Onkyo TX-NR809 but, after thorough research and receiving a great price on the Marantz SR7005, I could not be more happy. The remote could use a better layout but does the job.

Overall, very happy with my Marantz SR7005 purchase and would highly recommend to anyone.
