Marantz NR1710 review

7.2-channel AV receiver supports DTS: X and Dolby Atmos formats and provides 90 watts per channel at 6 ohms. 8 HDMI inputs (1 front) with full HDCP 2.2 support let you connect Blu-ray players, game consoles, and more. The Marantz NR1710 provides 4K / 60Hz pass-through video, 4: 4: 4 color coding, eARC, HDR and BT.2020, plus compatibility with Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log Gamma. Thanks to the support of DSD (2.8 / 5.6 MHz), FLAC, ALAC and WAV, it is possible to stream high-resolution music over the network, even without pauses. Audyssey MultEQ, Dynamic Volume, and Dynamic EQ systems provide ideal speaker auto-calibration for the acoustic conditions of your room. Marantz NR1710

Marantz NR1609 review

The 7.2-channel unit, power 7 x 85 W (6 Ohms), also has the support of the DTS: X and Dolby Atmos formats. The Marantz NR1609 receiver works reliably on busy wireless networks with dual-band Wi-Fi support. On board there is a Bluetooth circuit, and with the release of new software, AirPlay 2 support is announced with the possibility of organizing a multi-room system based on iOS devices. The model copes with the role of a tape drive, playing on a local network and USB Hi-Res-audio formats (PCM up to 24 bit / 192 kHz and DSD up to 5.6 MHz). Marantz NR1609

Marantz NR1609 pros & cons

Pros

  • My second channel connects to outdoor speakers which I can now control from my phone using the HEOS or Marantz app. This is very handy not to have to go back inside to change the music, volume, etc
  • Helpful manual unlike ones in other brands’ models

Cons

  • Only complaint is that the menu pops up when you turn a device on and you have to use the remote to select the input which is already selected
