I’ve changed a Denon AVR-X4500H to this HC Amp.
The previous model was a very reliable and versatile amp. The Cinema 40 is a kind of upgrade of the same category. It is more refined and mature.
Now with my new Focal Aria EVO X series speakers I hear the difference. This setup reveals more of the quality differences of the music material. I don’t have much experience with movie yet. So I can’t rate it. I hope that this model will work as reliably and flawlessly as the Denon did. Then it was a good buy 😃

A 10/10 shopping experience with Homecinesolution. Super professional seller, fast shipping, and bomb-proof packaging. The Marantz Cinema 40 is a powerhouse of power and musicality, fantastic both in multichannel for movies and in Pure Direct mode for music listening. An absolute top-of-the-range product purchased from a top store. Highly recommended!

Esperienza d'acquisto da 10 e lode con Homecinesolution. Venditore super professionale, spedizione rapida e imballaggio a prova di bomba. Il Marantz Cinema 40 è un mostro di potenza e musicalità, fantastico sia in multicanale per i film che in modalità Pure Direct per l'ascolto musicale. Un top di gamma assoluto acquistato da un negozio top. Consigliatissimo!

Disappointed compared to my Pioneer VSA LX805 home theater amplifier I did not keep it because it did not suit me at all

Got the Marantz Cinema 40 in silver and it looks even better in person. Clean, classy, and stands out without being too much. Feels like a proper high-end piece.
The customer service in HomeCineSolutions were great to deal with. Quick replies, solid offer, and helpful the whole way through.
Totally recommended AVR and website! :)

Très bon ampli pour le HC et la hifi
Guy
After a few weeks of use, this amp made me rediscover music. It delivers a wider stereo image and greater finesse in certain musical details that I hadn’t noticed before. It pairs perfectly with the Klipsch RP-8000. In home theater, the effects are rich and once again detailed, very immersive, with good management of the Atmos channels. I don’t have any major negative points to mention, except that you should remember to deactivate the loudness management function in the Audio/Surround Settings; this frees up the effects channels, and sometimes the eARC switching can be a bit temperamental. Otherwise, I’m completely satisfied with the Marantz Cinema 40: it combines style with a high-end sound experience.

Apres quelques semaines d'utilisation, cet ampli ma fait redécouvrir la musique ,il apporte une stéréo plus élargie et une plus grande finesse dans certains détails musicaux que je n'avais pas perçue auparavant. Il s'associe parfaitement aux klipsch rp 8000 .En home cinéma les effets sont riches et encore une fois détaillés, et très enveloppants et une bonnes gestion des canaux atmos.
je n'ai pas de points négatifs important a signaler, sauf pensez a désactiver la fonction gestion loudness dans les paramètre audio /paramètres surround cela débride les canaux d'effets et des fois une commutation E-arc un peu capricieuse. Sinon je suis complètement satisfait du Marantz cinema 40,il allie l'esthétisme et une expérience sonore de haut de gamme.

A Denon customer for over 20 years, I decided—after changing all my speakers—to switch to Marantz because of how I use my system: 50% hi-fi and 50% movies. Marantz’s reputation made it the obvious choice, and I was also looking for an amp with more power than my previous one (an AVR2500H), which delivered 95 W per channel (stereo), to properly drive my new Focal speakers and have some extra headroom.
Verdict: let’s start with the design. This amp is gorgeous! The full aluminum front panel, the backlighting, the dual display, the flap – everything looks great and oozes build quality. Then there’s the sound. The famous “musicality” people associate with Marantz is definitely there. What impressed me most was the immersive multichannel sound and the width of the stereo soundstage. The definition of timbres and details is incredibly precise. And for movie playback, it’s powerful, full-bodied, fast, responsive, and always ultra-detailed at any volume. It’s flawless!
Another point regarding use and setup: coming from Denon, everything feels familiar. The menus are even easier to use, the amp guides you step by step, and the on-screen graphics are now in HD for a more modern, comfortable experience. Finally, the connectivity is comprehensive, and it even boasts upgradeability through flexible speaker configurations and the possibility of connecting power amps to all the main channels. Not to mention its ability to manage 4 subwoofers.
In short, a top-tier amp and, as always, impeccable service from HomeCinéSolution! If you find a good deal and your usage is similar to mine, don’t hesitate: the only risk is that you’ll love it ;-) thanks to its ability to bring together two fairly distant worlds: hi-fi and cinema. It handles both in the most beautiful way!

Client de la marque Denon depuis plus de 20 ans, j'ai décidé, après avoir changé l'ensemble de mes enceintes, de passer chez Marantz, du fait de mon usage : 50% hi-fi et 50% ciné. La réputation de Marantz était donc tout indiquée et je cherchais aussi à obtenir un ampli avec plus de puissance que mon précédent (un AVR2500H) qui était de 95W par canal (stéréo) face à mes nouvelles enceintes Focal, et ce pour avoir de la réserve. Verdict : d'abord sur le design. Cet ampli est superbe ! La façade entièrement en alu, le rétro-éclairage, le double écran, la trappe, tout est beau et tout respire la qualité de fabrication. Vient ensuite le son. La fameuse "musicalité" que l'on prête à Marantz est bien là. Ce qui m'a le plus ébloui étant l'enveloppement sonore multicanal, et la largeur de la scène audio en stéréo. La définition des timbres et des détails est hyper ciselée. Et en projection ciné, il est puissant, plein, rapide, réactif et toujours ultra défini quel que soit le volume. C'est un sans-faute ! Autre point sur l'usage et la configuration : venant de chez Denon, pas de dépaysement. Les menus sont encore plus faciles à utiliser, l'ampli vous prend la main et les visuels sont désormais en HD, pour plus de modernité et de confort. Enfin, la connectique est complète et il s’offre le luxe d’être évolutif par ses configurations d’enceintes ou encore la possibilité de brancher des amplis de puissance sur l’ensemble des canaux principaux. Sans parler de sa capacité à gérer 4 caissons de basse. En bref, un ampli top niveau et toujours un service impeccable de la part de HomeCinéSolution! En cas d'offre tarifaire et si votre usage s'apparente au mien n'hésitez pas : vous ne risquez que de l'adorer ;-) par ses facultés à réunir deux mondes assez éloignés que sont la hi-fi et le Cinéma. Il sait faire les deux, de la plus belle des façons !

Very high-quality amplifier. Now easy to set up thanks to a few tutorials. Used only for home theater, the sound is fantastic as long as you pair it with the right speakers. A real treat for the ears.

Désormais facile à régler grâce à certains tutos.
Utilisé uniquement en home cinéma le rendu est fantastique pour peu qu'on l'associe avec les bonnes enceintes. Un régal pour les oreilles.

The Cinema 40 is replacing my 2020 SR6015. It’s a bit punchier and a bit more musical. You can recognize the Marantz signature with its velvety sound and complete lack of harshness. The look is just gorgeous, and I really like the small indicator lights on either side of the central panel.

Le cinema 40 vient en remplacement de mon SR6015 de 2020. Il est un peu plus pêchu et un peu plus musical. On reconnait la signature Marantz avec un son velouté et aucune agressivité. Le look est juste magnifique et j'aime beaucoup les petites veilleuses de part et d'autre du panneau central.

Hello everyone, The Cinema 40 has nine channels; it’s discreet, very elegant, and excellent quality! The connectivity is comprehensive and high quality. I ran the speaker calibration but went back to the initial configuration, which I fine-tuned manually and which suits me perfectly! For home theater, the sound is powerful and the experience is very immersive, even though I don’t have surround back speakers because the rear wall is too close to the listening area. What’s more, there are many settings to adjust depending on the room setup and the speakers. So to fully exploit the Cinema 40’s capabilities, you need to take the time to read each section of the user manual carefully, which is, moreover, well explained. You’ll also appreciate the four buttons on the remote for direct access to four custom sound modes. Finally, in hi-fi, the sound is very satisfying for a home theater amp. It’s balanced and not aggressive (for those who prefer). There’s no need to “play” with the settings except perhaps the sub level.
My setup: 7.1 with bi-amping on the front RP-8000.II speakers + 1x RP-404C II center + 2x RP-500SA II as front Dolby Atmos + 2x R-40SA as surround + the impressive RP-1600SW sub. All from Klipsch. Conclusion: I’m very satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend it! Especially from Homecinesolutions because they are attentive and very responsive.

Bonjour à tous,
Le Cinema 40 possède neuf canaux il est discret, très élégant et d'excellente qualité !
La connectique est complète et de qualité.
J'ai effectué la calibration des enceintes mais je suis revenu à la configuration initiale que j'ai peaufiné manuellement et qui me convient parfaitement !
En home cinéma le son est puissant et l'expérience est très immersive même si je ne possède pas d'enceintes suround back car le mur arrière est trop proche de la zone d'écoute.
En outre Il y a de nombreux paramètres à ajuster en fonction de la configuration de la pièce et des enceintes. Donc pour exploiter pleinement les possibilités du Cinema 40 il faut prendre le temps de lire attentivement chaque rubrique du mode d’emploi qui est par ailleurs bien expliqué.
On appréciera aussi les quatre touches de la télécommande pour un accès direct à quatre modes de réglages personnalisés du son.
Enfin, en hifi le son est très satisfaisant pour un ampli hpme cinema. Il est équilibré et pas agressif (pour ceux qui préfèrent). Il n'est pas nécessaire de "jouer" sur les réglages hormis peut être le niveau du sub.
Ma configuration : 7.1p avec double amplification des enceintes avant RP-8000.II + 1x RP-404C II en centrale + 2x RP-500SA II en Dolby Atmos avant + 2x R-40SA en suround + l’impressionnant sub RP-1600SW. Le tout de la marque Klipsch.
Conclusion: Je suis très satisfait de mon achat et je vous le conseille vivement ! En particulier chez Homecinesolutions car ils sont à l'écoute et très réactifs.

Bought to replace an Onkyo TX NR5007 that started crackling (a shame, as it was a powerhouse). Not powerful enough for my setup, even though the sound was beautiful and well distributed. So I sent it back... to get an INTEGRA DRX 8.4, which I’m happy with... but it’s still less powerful than the ONKYO. A tip: pay close attention to the total power output—if you have a large setup, you need watts, and you need a total power above 100 watts.

Acheté pour remplacer un Onkyo TX NR5007 qui commence à grésiller ( dommage car c'était une bête de course) . Pas assez puissant pour mon installation malgré un son beau et bien réparti. Donc j'ai renvoyé ...pour reprendre un INTEGRA DRX 8.4 dont je suis satisfait .. mais qui reste moins puissant que l'ONKYO. Un conseil : surveillez bien la puissante totale donnée, si vous avez une grosse installation il faut de watts et il faut une puissance supérieure à 100 watts totale.

The store offered a great price, fast service, but disappointing Marantz Cinema 40, a Japanese product that already has defects in the transformer or capacitors when new. I need to arrange the return with the store, certainly under warranty, but obviously not pleasant. Disappointed by Marantz made in Japan.

il negozio ha fatto un ottimo prezzo, servizio rapido, ma deludente Marantz Cinema 40, un prodotto Giapponese che già da nuovo presenta difetti al trasformato o ai condensatori, devo organizzare il ritiro con il negozio, certamente in garanzia, ma ovviamente non piacevole. Deluso da Marantz made in Giappone

There is a significant difference compared to the amplifier I had before, my only small regret is not having chosen the Cinema 30. This amplifier is simply fantastic for both Hi-Fi and home theater. I'm rediscovering notes in the music I usually listen to. Thank you for your advice. Now I just need to replace my SVS SB2000 with an SB3000.
