Good home theater amplifier with very good HI-FI sound.

Beautiful machine, powerful sound and beautiful round color (rather round and soft in the high frequency).
Unfortunately a breakdown after a few months of use (no more sound signal sent) but good support from the manufacturer's warranty, has been working very well since. Downside on the ergonomics of the menus on the TV screen which lack clarity and intuitiveness.

For my first Marantz amplifier, I am delighted with its performance in both home cinema and hi-fi applications.
The connected features and control apps contribute to the ease of use of this amplifier.

Very satisfied. Setup with the TV was surprising (a manual would have been nice) but well guided.

Easy to program amplifier for beginners. Once connected to the speakers and TV, the setup menu displays on the TV screen with clear explanations … amazing!. Calibration with the Audyssey system is perfect. The amp smooths out the highs, the sound is pleasant, never aggressive.
Since the manual is very basic, you have to go online to find the supplement (about 300 pages but very well done). I was able to save my favorite radio stations and discover many others, listen to my playlists thanks to the very powerful Bluetooth (much easier to launch than on my Marshall speaker).
I started out with 2.0 home cinema, with my 2 Q Acoustics 3050i columns and 8 days later, I'm already at 3.0 with a center speaker, the subwoofer will follow next week. Later on, I plan to add 2 small rear speakers thanks to Heos and maybe even one more in the kitchen, let's be crazy!.
In fact, good equipment changes your life, and by getting a home theater amplifier, it works every day for a movie or music, it pays for itself very quickly.

Very good product for its price range.
Easy installation and very well guided. Effective calibration that is well explained.
Sufficient connections.

Excellent home theater amplifier, even if it lacks a tiny bit of dynamism. Fortunately, it has all the necessary connections, especially the pre-outs for connecting a power amp to better drive the speakers. HEOS is quite stable and practical.

Pros:
Good overall performance. Many inputs that are easily configurable, which is very convenient.
Good value for money in terms of features.
Cons:
The volume button is horrible to use (worthy of very low-end devices - it feels like it will break off in your hands each time!). Fortunately, most of the time, the remote control is used.
Display is limited to the bare minimum.
The multi-channel stereo mode eliminates the subwoofer! It's impossible to use this mode if you want to take advantage of the subwoofer. This wasn't the case with my previous Denon (nearly identical devices)?
Playing multimedia files from a NAS server is not very usable - simple JPG images are not displayed, and navigating the folder structure is completely random and incomprehensible. There is still room for software improvements in this area.
The unit gets quite hot, so ensure there is good ventilation above it.
It's a shame there is no mini-jack audio input on the front to connect a phone or computer output.

Does the job for providing sound in a large 45m2 room with a very high ceiling (a former barn) using a mid-range 5.2 home theater system, a noticeable improvement in sound quality compared to the 2008 Denon 1909. Very convenient for playing playlists from a USB drive, Bluetooth device, or WiFi, all controlled from a smartphone, especially thanks to the Heos app. Many adjustable parameters also available via smartphone with the Marantz Remote app. Very satisfied.

After a big disappointment with Onkyo, I came back to Marantz and I'm not disappointed. Harmonious sound, simple and complete setup, practical use of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HEOS - the Dolby Atmos is stunning. In stereo via the HEOS app, the sound approaches true hi-fi quality.
I'm really happy with this receiver that fulfills all the current 4K HDR functions and more... I highly recommend it.

Excellent amplifier. Simple to connect and easy to use. The 2 apps are well designed, though one is a bit slow.
The included labels for the connections are very handy for identifying the cables.
It's a true delight for hi-fi and home theater.
Superb, smooth sound with Davis speakers (right, left and center), a Klipsch subwoofer, and two Yamaha surrounds.
I highly recommend it for the power as well.

I've been using it for over a month and it meets my expectations. Easy to set up and performs its functions well.
Using it with a Cabasse speaker configuration. Very reasonable price, you can buy it with confidence. Delivered within 72 hours to a pick-up point.

Good amplifier.
Surprised by the power reserve, more than sufficient for a 20/25m2 room or larger. The Audyssey system does a good job but don't hesitate to fine-tune the settings.
Good sound balance, not aggressive in the highs, the bass is sufficiently clear, the sound stage is well respected, the subwoofer is very well powered. Voices are well positioned and intelligible.
The image is sharp, fluid (does not flicker in 4K). The upscaling is very well adjusted and the image depth is there.
For movies/games, you are totally immersed, nothing to say, it does the job very well. However, for music (CD, SACD), even if it manages well, it's not on par with a true stereo amplifier, but that's not what it's meant for.
The connectivity is sufficient and seems to be of good quality.
Small downside for the central screen of the device which is a bit small, but it is sleek and adjustable in brightness. The settings interface is a bit austere for neophytes.
To conclude, the SR5014 is a very good home theater amplifier, impressive for its current reserve, balanced and immersive, connected for multi-room. Powerful, high-quality in home theater (sound, 4K image), aesthetic, at this price don't hesitate.
The quality/price ratio is excellent.

Excellent product. I was looking for a preamp to make a 5.1 system with active monitor speakers (JBL LSR 305) and an active subwoofer (JBL LSR310s), and the result is superb. This amp is of excellent quality and offers a multitude of settings (a bit complicated at first!), and most importantly it has the preout outputs I needed!
The only downsides so far:
- Quite bulky
- Gets a bit hot sometimes
I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I would have given it a 5 if I didn't have a small issue with the e-arc connection (the amp loses the Arc link) which I have submitted to Marantz support... otherwise, as usual, it does the job properly!
