Marantz AV 7701I've had my AV 7701 for about two weeks and love everything about it so far. My amps are Marantz MM 7055 and Vincent 331 for killer 2 channel audio.
Previously used B&K AVR 307, no HDMI but I used multichannel analog inputs from blu ray for HD audio.
I have always considered separate components and this is the first advancement. Definitely noticed more depth in movie HD audio. When listening to 2 channel audio, example a cd, the Vincent Amp now shines. Treble is sharper and imaging is possibly increased. I have read reviews for this amp and it was mentioned that a good processor was needed to hear its full potential, well now I have it. I love internet radio and have set my favorites, some stations audio is lesser than others but that is to be expected. I can play my itunes library through the AV 7701 but the only issue is my desktop is in another room and when I start play the volume is very loud on the AV. I believe there are setting I can make to control all of this from...
From a pro Sound EngineerMarantz AV7701 Audio Video Preamp/Processor with Networking and AirPlay (Black)My Marantz AV7701 arrived on 4/5/2013. Fit and finish are great and setup was fast and easy.
I have never owned anything but separates and this was a long overdue replacement for a dying Adcom GTP880.
I am running a Carver TFM 75 driving a pair of Carver Silver Editions up front, 2 Carver TFM6C's driving JBL 2600's for sides and surrounds and another Carver TFM6C driving a Tannoy Mercury Custom center channel with 2 Sunfire Subwoofers.
Connection was easy and MOST importantly, once connected and turned on, utter silence, no hums, buzzes, or idle nose at all.
The enclosed owners manual CD loaded slowly and was difficult to navigate, it jumped several pages at a time rather than scrolling 1 page at a time so I downloaded one from the handy Marantz site and printed out all 190 pages. This is helped a great deal as the...
AV7701 ReviewRunning Klipsch KSP-400 mains, C6 center, KSP-300 surrounds, KSW-300 sub, Emotiva XPA-1 5 channel power block. All speakers have powered subs so 5 subs. AV7701 replaced a Denon AV5803 receiver. The results is brighter highs and midrange and tighter bass. The sound is both loud and accurate. I listen to mostly live concert Blu Ray disks of 70's music and at loud volume. Dream Theater and Evanescense too. The setup took time with phone calls to tech support every day for a week. Here is what i discovered with tech support. Run Audyssey and keep it on. Audyssey backed off my subs -12 db the max which i didn't like. I then with the help of tech support created my own settings for bass volume which is 0db and cross-overs. I run all speakers as SMALL, set the volume controls on all powered subs to oh 12 o'clock or more and set the cross-overs to 40 hz on the mains, 60 on the center and 100 on the surrounds. That made a huge difference as the sound is accurate with a ton of bass which is...
