For the price, I think the Sonos Amp is the best all in one. It gives you the ability to have whole home audio and pairs it with the best app experience. Also, the amp can expand into a 4.2 system for home theater.

Again, I don’t know if you guys realize how great it is that you have “couples” conversation about hifi at the end of each review. Hifi purchases often involve partners and getting different takes from different perspectives is so nice to hear and can be as critical as anything when it comes to purchasing.

The sound / recording of your voice and lighting, editing, content, writing are all top notch. Hopefully you’ll see this Andrew because I’m sure you would like positive feedback for all your hard work. Thanks man!

Hi Andrew and Kristi. If i was starting my hi fi journey today, i probably would pick the Marantz 40 because of all its features. But that was 57 years ago. When i had more money i went the way of separate components because that was the next level of improved sound. A few months ago i saw on ebay a new preamplifier from Goldmund , the Swiss manufacturer of audio products. The preamp was based on the famous Marantz 7 from the late 50's. It is a tube line level preamp and is very minimal It only has 1 output and 4 inputs, a selector switch and a volume nob , which is all i need. It sounds great with my phono stage preamp and Rotel power amp. I got it for $400.

I think the Marantz 40n is superb. I have owned and used a Denon AVR-X4300H for several years now and HEOS works great on that unit. On mine, you can use the TV as a large screen with artwork and other information displayed. It is also on the app and I have used Apple and Android for said app. HEOS has made whole house audio very easy (I now have ten total HEOS speakers around our home!). Thank you for a wonderful review that has me excited. You and Ian White at eCOUSTICS are both excellent reviewers and his review whetted my appetite for more and your review was that "more".

I purchased the Denon DM41 mini all in one hifi, it's about $500, it's won multiple hifi awards in it's multiple iterations over the year's, the reviews claim it puts some separates systems costing considerably much more to shame, I've partnered mine's with a set of Vintage Elatx Liberty 5+ speakers producing a very articulate sound, without being overly analytical and just enough warmth for long listening, as mine's is connected to my TV via optical cable it needs to be, I've seen this little system partnered with speakers upto the value of $2000, which I suppose is high praise indeed to have this level of confidence in a all in one costing less than #500, Thankyou for your great reviews 👍.

The Parasound checks every single thing except HDMI. Klipsch Belle's (to me) need that classic Marantz type sound, that's not really been available from them for some time in 2-channel fashion. Very grateful for your review, and I will be purchasing the Marantz 40n.

@TheJwally777 Жыл бұрын

Good Morning! I greatly enjoy your reviews in general, but particularly the one on the Marantz Model 40n. While I've always loved music and have invested in some good equipment, I VERY recently became interested in hifi when I visited a high end stereo store and experienced a McIntosh system. I was blown away, and immediately began a savings plan toward purchasing an 8950. But then I started researching, and changed my mind due to the way I listen to music, which is more along the lines of streaming, verses phono or CD (neither of which I have), and the type of music I listen to... and how I listen to it - rock, country, and both very loud. All that to say, when you compared the Marantz to the McIntosh 7200, I was seriously swayed toward the Marantz, and have all but decided to buy it. But then I came across the NAD m33, and I am torn.... Your review on the 33 was perplexing, in that it left me with the impression that it was nearly perfect, but lacking emotional connection. The reason I'm drawn to it, possibly over the 40n, is the greater power it offers. My setup is a pair of Golden Ear Triton 7's along with a SVS PB 16 ultra and an Atlantic Technology 642e (because I absolutely love overwhelming, room shaking bass, and those are the subs that became available on the used market). As I understand it, the Tritons are relatively inefficient (89db I think?), so require a little more power. AND, the 33 has dual sub pre-outs, while the Marantz only has one. But... from your reviews, the 40n is more "musical" verses a more "clinical" 33.... Maybe this pairing of choices isn't exactly fair, considering the NAD costs twice as much as the Marantz, but, in your opinion, given the setup and the music taste, which one would you choose? Thank you in advance for your time!

I enjoyed your Marantz Review Andrew, I have a decision to make between the Technics sug700mk2 or the Marantz 40, I love the Sug700MK2 looks and style, but I'm a little apprehensive about getting into this new class of power as I'm so accustomed to old school amps, but also looking for a change. Any insight on how the Technics might match up with Totem Hawk speakers?

I think the NAD M10 v2, the upcoming NAD C399, The Naim Unity, CA Evo 150, and your mention Marantz 40. All these could be at the head of the pack. At least in my opinion, and if i would but one all in one solution (In the planning for 2023, we bought new furniture last month first 😉). My preference of my small mentioned list at this point would be the NAD M10. With roomcorrection. But need to try and save some money again, before i do. so in the meantime im open to suggestions an keeping my eyes open. For instance at your great channel 😉 Btw. Denon is also great. Bought a all in one last year one for my Daughters 11th birthday (now 12) It can play everything, and can connect a lot of different speakers. we choose for matching Denons, due to the grey color. No issues there.

The only thing that I wish Marantz would get away from is the port hole display. But that's just me, maybe people like the port hole design. Rather than that, it looks like a awesome piece of equipment. Do you feel like people are starting to move towards more musical systems instead of multichannel setups? Seems to me that a good 2.0 or 2.1 setup gives the range of good music plus its good enough to satisfy people with movie performance as well. Maybe the days of 5/7/9 speakers in a room are on the downside. And this is just the machine to make that argument. Awesome review, keep up the great work.

First, absolutely love your channel and think you two do a fantastic job of discussion and reviewing gear (am going to be a joiner soon). Based on this and another review of yours (and others), I purchased my first higher end hifi system for my girlfriend and me. It consists of a pair of Wharfdale Elysian 2s, a Project Carbon Pro turntable, and the Marantz 40n integrated amp. Thank you so much, because it sounds fantastic! :) However, I have little to no experience with high-end standalone DACs and would love to hear your comparison of a unit like this, compared to utilizing a dedicated DAC. I know they very tremendously in price, but a small discussion on this would be very informative. Again, thank you for teaching me so much on this fun and life changing hobby!

Andrew and Kristi... Your review was simply awesome. Interestingly enough, the Model 40n has the amplifier of the Pm8006, the rear panel of the Pm7000 and they added an Hdmi port. I think that it's a great combination piece as many people like to just minimalist when it comes to home audio - hence the almost all too common soundbars. Marantz (sound United) just wanted to bring their own sauce to the table - because they already had all the ingredients needed. Competition is making this all in one niche market very interesting. For the question of the day - I still think that Arylic A50 for budget minded all in one and Bluesound Powernode 2i/ 2 are extremely hard to beat. Please keep up the great work. Also, what cameras do you guys use?

Minus the Technics, the other two amps aren't exactly "smart" or connected, so understand they're comparable but also not. All that said, I would likely pick the Marantz over the Yamaha and M5si (despite owning an M5si still), and would like to put the Model 40n up against the 700 for final judgement there. That said, now that the 40 gives me HDMI, it would be hard for me to go without.

Great review, I hope to have che chance to listen to this integrated amp from Marantz soon. In my humble opinion the best "overall" all in one future-proof music machine up to today is the NAD M33 with the chance to use DIRAC LIve for a 2.2 hybrid system (stereo + AV) with total integration in any room and with a huge power reserve to drive basically any set of speakers. I know that many (also you) found it quite "cold" o "not enough romantic :D", but I had the chance to listed to this machine a couple of times and I felt in love with it even it's quite expensive (for my pockets at least).
