Thanks, it does look to be a great value

Glad you liked it

The best!

We circled back to Marantz technical on this and you are right. The signal going out to the mains has no high pass filter, it is full range.

@@AudioAdvicethanks. What does it mean in practical terms when the video says that the two subs input run in parallel and not discreet? Should the subs connect to the low level input or LFE input from the marantz? I own a Rel sub.

@@Capitan_Cavernicola_1 Some receivers have two subwoofer outputs that give you individual control of each one. In this case, both output jacks get the same signal. Most of the REL subs let you connect it using speaker cable which would be the preferred method for two channel especially.

Thank you! Good point, they are not metal knobs but are very solid and high quality.

It's all plastic. Even the milled aluminium looking end pieces. Slightly lets it down.

Agreed! Thanks for watching 😁

Glad it was helpful!

It sounds great!

It is a great product. You would be better off with a Marantz home theater receiver in that case. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to discuss the best choice for your system and budget. Thanks for watching

Same!

Okay

Okay

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, most people like the hommage to the Marantz of old, but that is not for everyone. It sure does sound great for its price though and is built very well!

Absolutely!

Hope you'll support us in your purchase! www.audioadvice.com/marantz-stereo-70s-75-watt-slim-stereo-receiver

Nice setup! Thanks for watching and sharing 😁

We hope you will support our small business and purchase yours from Audio Advice, thanks for watching

Awesome, glad we could help!

It will sound far better in 2 channels.

Not even close, it's just a 75 watt version of the 70. It's just a 200$ dip. I'd say they probably sound about the same. Mabey a bit cleaner but if you preamp only it will be identical

Very similar! It will depend on if you want more channels or can make do with only 2. Reach out to our experts at audioadvice.com if you need more help choosing!

Thanks very much!

We hope they have more coming 🤞

This is the direct replacement of the NR1200. The PM7000N has no HDMI inputs, and is engineered as a pure stereo amplifier, with streaming features, and also doesn't have a tuner. They'll probably replace it sometime, but for now this Stereo 70S replaces the NR1200.

I've been considering a PM7000N a long time ago but would buy the Stereo 70s just for the Tuner.

Same, I’ve really enjoyed my PM7000N for the past two years, but would like a version with more power like the Model 30 while including the built in streaming… love being able to control everything with my phone from anywhere in the house!

@@RyanJackle 40n? 😉

Thanks for sharing! We will look into it.

Yes, it will decode and repurpose it to 2 channel.

@TravisStaples You won't get LFE channel bass effects from Movies. There is no DTS, Dolby Digital Decoders

We liked the larger size but ours felt rather cheap so we were happy to see them upgrade it. Thanks for watching!

Definitely! Thanks for watching!

Not enough for me to replace mine, and I own two as well as a number of their integrated amplifiers and Denon AVRs and integrated amps.

You are welcome. It can easily drive most medium to high sensitivity speakers well. Thanks for watching

It is definitely a nice upgrade!

@@AudioAdvice I'd grab one immediately if I hadn't just bought the NR1200 like 2 months back.

NR1200 is still a great pick up! We love it!

Do you mean the volume knob? It's on the front panel on the left.

​@@AudioAdviceNo, he's talking about the LOUDNESS circuit that used to be on two channel gear to boost bass and treble at lower listening levels.

@@user-kv3ue5fp4c Thanks, we had one of our younger people answering questions that day. :) There is no loudness button, it does have bass and treble controls.

@@AudioAdvice No worries; thanks for the reply. I hate that the amp I use, an Onkyo TX-8555, doesn't have a loudness contour or tape loop connections for a graphic EQ.

Thanks for the question. We recommend you chat or call with our team of experts at audioadvice.com and they can help you compare and decide which would be better in your system. Thanks!

Glad you like it!

@@AudioAdvice Im Brazil big fan of your Job big Huge for ALL and Mister Scott

You will have to make sure your music mode is set to 2.1. Many two channel setups are 2.0 and will exclude the subwoofer.

salut , je vient de gagner justement cette ampli Marantz 70S , jais une question pour vous .. il y a t,il la radio , le FM ?

We do not recall seeing one when we took it apart and its likely there is not one in there since its not a multi channel processor/amp. Like anything of this level it needs ventilation

Your older 6005 has more current reserve, this would not be an audio upgrade. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to find the best upgrade path.

The stereo 70's has 100W in 6 ohm.

i have the model 30 with polk L 600s . the speakers are 4 ohms . the M 30 puts out 200 w at 4 ohms so the polks really come alive .the sound stage is spectacular in an unconditioned room . my room is an audio nightmare but the marantz and polks seem to laugh at this , producing incredible separation and depth .

It is a true subwoofer filter. Yes, Roon would be nice, but a few years of Roon costs as much as this guy. Thanks for watching

Hmmm. Good question. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to discuss your system in more detail.

You could as it as RCA preamp outputs.

If you have a small room you should be fine, but those speakers come to life with a little more power.

Yes. That would be a good match for most rooms. Thanks for watching.

Do you mean the 40n or Cinema 40? If you mean the 40n, the 40n is superior sounding. But for what this one costs it is a great value.

That would be a great match!

Yes, this would be a great match for those.

Thanks for sharing. We would have liked to see that too.

Thanks for sharing, it is personal opinion

I'm trying to figure out how this is better than the Cinema 70S, which can be had for $250 less. It really feels like the 2-channel tax. Edit: The more I look at it, the worse it gets. It doesn't have discrete subwoofer outputs and doesn't even have an active crossover. The Cinema 70S has an active crossover, but sadly not independent sub outs. Why would they not include these features? Massive miss.

The Marantz Cinema 70s is $1,200 and the Stereo is cheaper at $1,000. So you will save $200 with the stereo version. We do wish it had independent sub outs.

@@AudioAdvice The Cinema 70S is available on Accessories4Less for $750 with a 5 year warranty. Missing an active crossover is an instant deal breaker and provides no reason for us to wait for the price to drop on this unit. Heck, even the Cinema 60 is on sale for $900 right now, and the AVR-X3800H is factory refurbished with a 3 year warranty for $1200. It has 4 sub outs with (is it 2 or all 4 of) them being discrete.

The stereo has 75 watts instead of the 50 watts from the cinema

It also utilizes the HDAM chip that is found in the Cinema 40.

Fair enough!

It should, but we have not tested it, however anything with HDMI 1.4 and higher is supposed to support 3D.

@@AudioAdviceThank you for the answer.

That's a good question. We would have liked to see that feature too.

I disagree. I have 2 subs in stereo myself, and would never look at something of this level anyway. Unless it was for a gift maybe. This is a $1k do it all. It’s a receiver. It’s not high end at all. There’s two types of people who have more than one sub IME. And it’s 2 channel guys like myself that are really into it, or it’s bass heads/home theater guys that aren’t really into SQ like myself. And I seriously doubt they’re going to care as this is how almost every type of product in this price/performance category does the sub control. And stereo vs mono subs isn’t a huge difference in SQ anyway. This isn’t designed, priced, nor marketed for high end 2 channel guys. It’s designed for the type of listener that was described in this video, and I doubt most will even care.

@@amb3cog This is where you're wrong. There's a nearly 200-page thread on AudioScienceReview discussing stereo amplifiers with active and adjustable bass management, for $1000 or under. I was so excited to see this video pop up, because I thought I had finally found the perfect product that fits those requirements. Unfortunately, the amplifier has neither discrete subwoofer outputs nor active bass management. It doesn't even have a crossover or high pass filter. Massive miss for Marantz. They could have cornered the market with just those two features. The Cinema 70S has a crossover and three more channels, along with a host of other features that are missing from this device, for only $200 more. And it can be had for $750 already, factory refurbished. There's no reason to get this amplifier over the Cinema 70S, in my opinion. People that want a two-channel setup will likely want an active crossover, and a good chunk of them will also want discrete subwoofer outputs. I have two subs in my living room, two subs at my desk, and wanted to add a second sub to the bedroom setup. This would have been perfect, but guess I'll have to wait until they improve.

@@amb3cogDismissing a product simply on price says a lot! I also am running 2 subs thru a Denon 800H. More than I wanted to spend, certainly not high end, but the dual sub output with crossover control sold me on it. BTW, in your opinion, can any receiver be high end?

Are you looking at the STEREO 70s or CINEMA 70s?

@@AudioAdvice What is the model identifier from Marantz, rather than marketing name?

The reviews are tied to NR1200 for some reason. This model only came out in September

@@AudioAdvice and when do you think this will be available to purchase? I’m ready now

Now! www.audioadvice.com/marantz-stereo-70s-75-watt-slim-stereo-receiver

11 months later… you can pick a re-certified unit from Marantz for $599. Denon & Marantz both have a 25% off sale right now.

If your setup is only two channel then it'll be fine for movies. But yes, it will not be for surround sound.

Thanks for watching!

It does have that, we called out how nice it is to see this in a two channel unit. Its in 10Hz steps over most of the range. Thanks for watching

@@AudioAdvice No, that’s the low pass filter? :)

It does both, it rolls the bass out of the mains, no data on the slope but likely 4th order@@o0divinity0o

@@AudioAdvice are you sure? It says low pass filter in the menu?

Yes, that is typical home theater receiver nomenclature, they all roll off the mains at the same frequency, some home theater receivers allow you to change the LFE in relation @@o0divinity0o

It isn't for everyone!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the feedback.

It seems they are transitioning to this look for all their new products. Thanks for watching!

I don't care for the faceplates and aesthetics of the Marantzes, either, and I used to buy their CD changers - in fact, I'm still using a CC4001. The matte faceplates and knobs of the new models just don't do it for me; I prefer shiny brushed aluminum faces and volume knobs. I'll probably be looking at a Denon AVR to replace my old Onkyo that's giving me issues now.
