Marantz AV 30 Home Theater Preamp/Processor Review: Power of Separation - ecoustics.com

ecoustics.com

With the Marantz AV 30, audiophiles can expect a stellar leap into high-end home theater performance without breaking the bank. This 11.4-channel preamp/processor wows with its immersive audio support, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, alongside impressive connectivity options. The elegant design and the inclusion of the HEOS streaming platform add modern convenience to its robust feature set. However, its lack of Google Cast support and additional costs for DIRAC room correction might deter some. Nonetheless, the AV 30's sound quality and flexibility make it a top contender for those ready to graduate from an A/V receiver.
