Specifications and features

Overview

While leveraging the strengths of the SR7007, the new SR7008’s channel count increases from seven to nine. This means that this new AV receiver can support nine distinct speakers, each delivering 200 W of pure power. Moreover, this power is supported by Audyssey DSX and DTS Neo:X 9.1, immersing you in an unparalleled surround sound experience.

We have also upgraded Audyssey to MultEQ XT32 /LFC Pro to ensure more precise speaker calibration and transform every seat in the room into the “ideal listening spot.” Furthermore, since this unit supports Apple lossless, Gapless, and FLAC HD 192/24 network streaming, you also get all the desired metadata, as well as music services like Spotify and last.fm, not to mention audio streaming via AirPlay.

What the press says

Here we go with the presentation of the new Marantz amplifiers, starting with the SR7008 which becomes a 9.2 model with 11.2 PreOut. (...) As for the rest, we find the same specifications as last year with 3 HDMI outputs, 4K upscaling, HDAM modules, etc.

User reviews

Julien

I find this amp very beautiful, well-finished, and equipped with the latest tech. The Marantz sound is definitely there, it's perfect. Except the power supply of this amp is clearly undersized - even high-efficiency Klipsch speakers don't reach their full potential, it's really disappointing, what a lack of dynamics. Too bad, amp resold.

Pros: sound quality, design.
Cons: anemic power supply for tower speakers.

Je trouve cet ampli très beau, bien fini, et doté des dernières technos. La sonorité Marantz est bien là, c'est parfait. Sauf que l'alimentation de cet ampli est clairement sous dimensionnée, même des Klipsch à haut rendement ne donnent pas leur pleine mesure, c'est vraiment navrant, quel manque de dynamique. Dommage, ampli revendu.

Les plus : sonorité, design.
Les moins : l'alimentation anémique pour des colonnes.

Paired with a Focal Dome 5.1 kit, I'm rediscovering my CDs. It's also excellent for home theater when connected to an OPPO 93EU player or a Zappiti media player. Thrilled with my purchase!

Pros: Very musical device, excellent for hi-fi and very good for home theater.
Cons: Occasionally inconsistent handling of the ARC function.

Associé à un kit Focal Dome 5.1, je redécouvre mes CD. Il est également excellent en Home Cinéma relié à un lecteur OPPO 93EU ou un lecteur multimédia Zapppiti. Ravi de mon acquisition !

Les plus : appareil très musical, excellent en HI-FI et très bon en Home Cinéma.
Les moins : gestion parfois aléatoire de la fonction ARC.
