Ok i have allot of experience with NAD and honestly nothing sounds like a NAD with music. But they just dont have any toys and nor will they so i would go Marantz as its a nice mix of quality on all fronts and then the latest tech.

If i had to take the 40 or 8015 i would take the 40. For me its just a better unit.

@@homecinemaking397 thanks for answering.

Some of the custom ones we make.

Thank you👌 we got them as demo a few years back and not sure where you will get them now.

Yes my choice for 2023

You will be happy with either but if you can go 40 do it. Its just a better built unit in Japan, the 50 is maas produced in China. Features are mostly the same.

@@homecinemaking397 Awesome thank you so much!!!

No not really. These ultra AVR units tend to always fall short for me.

I would run the 5 main or 7 if you wish from the power amp and connect them via pre-out. Then in the menu of the Marantz turn the outputs to pre-out only so the remainder of the power gets sent to the remaining ch of the marantz. You can then run 11ch and zone 2

@@homecinemaking397 thank you so much for advice, much appreciated, In addition, could you advice about denon x3800 or marantz 50? i am very much confused which one to buy?

@@essamchoudhry7432 they are almost the same units. Think Golf R and Audi RS3. The Marantz is just that bit more premium but internally they are very much the same bar a few small changes.

@@homecinemaking397 thank you once again sir

@@essamchoudhry7432 anytime👌

Very much the same sound it comes down to the power you need and features you want.

@@homecinemaking397 I just traded my 50 in for a 40. I noticed a pretty big difference. The 40 is both clearer and has a wider sound stage. I wasn't too impressed with the 50. I thought my RZ50 was better.

@@John-ok8ts i think this would come down to the speakers you are driving?

​@@homecinemaking397same speakers

@@homecinemaking397 I agreed with you. I had the 40 and 50 for about 5 days testing them side by side with 2 different sets of floor standing speakers(4 ohm and 6 ohm), 2 different sets of bookshelf speakers (8hm and 6 ohm) , and a set of 5.2.4 Atmos system. To be honest with you, the two AVR sounded pretty much the same when listening to stereo music pairing with the subwoofers, but the 40 made the floor standing speakers produce a little bit more bass due to higher power output without the subs. I would get the 50 and pair it with a power amp and save the money. The 40 is not worth the extra cost in my opinion. I also had the Denon 3800H and 4800H, and the 4800H produced noticeable better (wider, more details) sound than the 3800H. The difference is more noticeable than between the 40 and 50. If you are a person use the AVR 50/50 for music/movies , go with Cinema 50. If you use the AVR 30/70 for music and movies, I would take the 4800H all day. You go with the 40 only if you have too much money or you simply want the best, and go with the 3800H when you are on a budget.

No not that much, there is a difference but its not huge but 40 is better for-sure.

@@homecinemaking397 Awesome, thank you. With how tuned down the bass is, I’ll take a slight improvement. Also, do you know if the 40 has the same handshake issue the 50 has with an Xbox Series X? Or would you recommend the Yamaha A6A?!

@@GizmoDuck34 i have only had my ps5 on it and not my xbox but ill test it. Yamaha never ever ever ever!

@@homecinemaking397 No?! Lol, I’ve always had good luck with Yamaha. And they handshake is perfect for me. But I want something that will last and work with my SVS subs. I’ve had 2 cinema 50s, both had bad hand shake issues with my Series X, and the bass is def tuned down on the 50. From what I’ve read from others. They like the bass level and sound from the 40. I’m willing, just don’t want that handshake issue. Lemme know man, please, if you experience it with the series X

@@GizmoDuck34 ok ill test that for you and get back to you. I dont talk about Yamaha, was the biggest fan boy for years now i will not let one in the door ever!

If you can go for the Marantz yes. If its going to be mostly movie and tv then Denon will do just fine👌

Your reply is well appreciated😃 tnx. bro new subcriber here!

@@Sniper0 👌👍💪

I never use usb drives for video but i can test.

@@homecinemaking397 do it... especially by playing a .MKV formats...

@@homecinemaking397 ya, pliz try to stream the .MKV formats file.
