Marantz AV-7005 AV Preamplifier/Processor, ex-demo!

DESCRIPTION

The 7.2 channel AV7005 Preamplifier/Processor gives you superb audio quality because all audio signals are treated with delicate care via the Marantz HDAM modules before being passed to the XLR outputs to a separate power amp. In addition, all audio signals enter the DSP in a variety of ways to ensure that all channels are kept completely separate, thus eliminating interfering 'channel crosstalk'. For example, you can route the audio signal via the network jack for streaming music from your PC or Internet radio. Alternatively, you can route it via one of the six HDMI inputs, one of which is hidden behind the front flap for easy access. Here you can also find the iPod-digital-compatible USB input and a second double line display, which complements the famous elegant circular display with more detailed information. The AV7005 also takes supreme care of 3D video signals, even in stand-by mode, and sends them to the two HDMI output sockets. And there is even a Phono MM input – ideal for those precious vinyls. It supports all the latest sound formats including Audyssey DSX by using the Sharc 32Bit signal processor from Analog Devices, also for handling the MultEQ XT auto calibration. It’s all there, just waiting to perform.

"With its combination of features, performance, and price, I think the AV7005 is a fantastic bargain for a processor, and I'm happy to have it as the centerpiece of my home theater system" Reviewer Chris Heinonen "Secrets of Home Theater & High-Fidelity" on-line review magazine.

"It's hard to fault the Marantz AV7005 for sound, appearance, or ergonomics" Reviewer Kalman Rubinson "Stereophile" magazine U.S.A.

"...overallthe AV7005 proved to be a stellar all-rounder that when paired with aquality power amp took my home theater to a whole new level ofperformance. The AV7005 from Marantz is one AV preamp I'm not about tolet go of nor stop recommending to my friends and family, which isprecisely why I bought my review sample. It is that good" Reviewer, "HomeTheaterReview.com"
