Moving from the Marantz SR 7006 to the Marantz SR 8012 was already a great upgrade; moving from the Marantz SR 8012 to the Marantz Cinema 30 is a whole other world. I have a system comprising Focal Aria 948, CC900, SR 900, SUB 1000F and Sib 2.0 speakers. To properly power my floorstanding speakers, I have an Emotiva XPA. GEN3. Now that my SACD 30n has arrived, I have a very musical setup. For the video side, the Panasonic DP-UB9000EG1 completes this setup. A pleasure for the eyes and ears; for those who are hesitating, visit the auditorium to get an idea—there is nothing like listening to take the plunge.

For now, I’m running a 2.1 setup with a pair of RF7 MKlll speakers and an SVS PB-4000 subwoofer. Wow, this amplifier is an iron fist in a velvet glove.
Without fine-tuning the settings, it packs a punch; at 65% volume, I have power and clarity with no hint of saturation.
This amplifier is a pleasure, no regrets.

C'est un plaisir cette ampli aucun regret

Frédéric

incredible amplifier. I use it in 5.1. The Audyssey calibration is simple, fast, and high-quality. It is precise, dynamic, doesn't lack power, and its warm signature pairs very well with my B&W speakers. I would have liked to have the option to connect the subwoofers via XLR

ampli incroyable. Je l'utilise en 5.1. La calibration audyssey est simple, rapide et quali. Il est précis, dynamique, ne manque pas de puissance, sa signature chaleureuse se marie très bien avec mes enceintes B&W. J'aurais aimé avoir la possibilité de brancher les subwoofer en XLR
