Marantz, the audio visual bigwig credited for flawless performance and audio visual quality in the audio visual market, recently launched its up-to-the-minute receivers for this year.

The new Marantz NR1501, to a large extent the modernized version of the Marantz SR4003, is a 7-channel, 50w output per channel, full-featured receiver and is almost certainly the most reasonably priced piece of kit introduced by Marantz. It gives 4 HDMI 1.3 inputs and 1 output together with analog upconversion to HDMI. This Marantz machine does not just  feature the enhanced sound quality which consumers have over time come to look forward to from a Marantz product, but also the coolest technology as well as MRAC auto speaker calibration. When it boils down to owning a avant-garde home theater system, the audio visual quality and up to date technology of the Marantz NR1501 is difficult to surpass.

The other two all-new pieces of kit revealed by Marantz are innovative bluetooth receivers - the Marantz SR6004 and Marantz SR5004. These receivers substitute their predecessors, the SR6003 and SR5003 in that order. Their attribute sets are relatively the same. They both come equipped with full HD audio decoding and even the most up-to-date Dolby and Audyssey technologies. These receivers are hit the bull’s eye for home theater lovers who would like to have home automation integration with the RS-232 control and come encumbered with heaps of power. The Marantz SR5004 serves up 7-channels with 90 watts output whilst the Marantz SR6004 comes with a 110-watt output. Additionally, the novel M-XPort is incorporated, offering home theater aficionados the preference to expand their home theater system in the near future.

The differences amid the duo are that the Marantz SR6004 features an additional HDMI input and output. It comes equipped with the Bluetooth module which has to be bought independently with the Marantz SR5004. The Marantz SR6004 also boasts a front USB port, custom block capacitor and LCD remote that the Marantz SR5004 is deficient in.
