Marantz NR-1603 black

Surprising but true: some users don’t want a bulky amplifier in their living room. That’s why Marantz created this “Slim” audio/video receiver. But don’t be fooled by its compact size: it packs just as much punch as its bigger siblings, delivering impressive surround sound with 7 x 50 watts of effective power.

It also offers the same network features, allowing audio file streaming, listening to internet radio stations, streaming via Airplay from your iPhone, and a USB port compatible with direct digital playback from an iPod, with M-DAX2 processing to extract the best possible sound quality from a compressed audio file.
