I personally prefer Kenwood. They are a much larger company and the have a higher-quality level than that of Marantz. Of course, that is if you are speaking of apples vs. apples. I think you will like the Kenwood best as far as sound, usefulness, and longevity. Hope that helped some. Live loud!

Marantz SR4002 – AV receiver – 7.1 channel – black

• 80 Watts x 7 Channels All Discrete Amplifier Stages
• HDMI (V1.3) Switching: 3-In / 1-Out
• Multi-channel (7.1) LPCM via HDMI capability
• M.R.A.C. Auto Calibration
• S-Video to Component Video Up-Conversion

OK, so you know the benefits of HDMI. That’s the high definition audio/video (or “multi-media”) interface that lets you connect a DVD player, for example, to a processor or receiver with just one cable. And then use just one more cable to get all that information to your TV screen. Think you’d like that convenience? And how about switching so you can select one or the other HDMI-equipped source without the hassle of changing multiple cables? The SR4002 has it. Not quite that far on the leading e

Question by lenny: Question about the “peak” light on my marantz receiver?
Temporarily, I have two little weak speakers hooked up to my Marantz sr5400 receiver along with a bigger subwoofer. Whenever I turn it up to a regular listening level, the “peak” light comes up on the receiver. Any ideas why?

Answer by charliebob
Peak usually means you shouldn’t drive your speakers at any higher volume or you will get distortion.

If the impedance of the speakers is smaller than ordinarily used which is probably 16 or 8 ohms there may be a phenomenen very much like a short circuit if the speakers are ohly 4 ohm or less.

Impedance matching is important in the use of speakers, especially if you are driving them at higher volume.

You can add more speakers and put them in a series so that you have 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/8 and you will be matching to 8 ohms.

If you want 16 ohm match, just put four of those 4 ohm speakers in a series.

If you have 16 ohm speakers and want a match to 8 ohms for maximum efficiency the formula is 1/16 + 1/16 = 1/8 and you would have an 8 ohm match if you connect the speakers in parallel, rather than series.

If you don’t have more speakers you can use a high wattage resistor in series with the smaller impedance speakers to get a better match.

Similarly you can use a high wattage resistor to connect in parallel if you are
working in that direction.

The resistors are available at a radio supply store such as http://www.allelectronics.com or radio shack.

Question by Dekster: What do you think about Marantz receiver?

Answer by Skamp
For Many Years I owned Marantz equipment. Back in the 70′s and 80′s they were excellent. I would think from the history that they are still pretty good.

Harmon Kardon, and some ot the more expensive equipment gives you a little more definition. However it depends on what you are looking for.

This is my studio audio set up. Apologies for the crappy footage, done with a digital pic camera. Hope you enjoy my vintage set up of a Marantz Eighteen Receiver with an Acoustic Research AR-TA turntable and Lowe Opta LO 55 speakers (which are amazing speakers I might add – Vintage Klipsch fans would love them). The room this video was filmed in is very small.

Answer by Jefferson
Both are GREAT receivers as far as CONNECTIVITY goes…But Sony is KNOWN for NOT having a decent AMPLIFIER section…The Marantz is going to have a MUCH better power supply in it…This will make your audio output SO MUCH cleaner than the Sony.

But you should go and listen to them BOTH to be sure…If the Sony’s CHEAPER and YOU can’t hear a difference, then go ahead and get the Sony…If you can’t tell, DON’T spend the extra money.
