HOME THEATER

     Big TVs are not home theater systems. Most TVs are sold without an audio system. The speakers in a $1000 TV are only 1" across and cost under a dollar. The amps inside TVs have very low power, often under 10 watts and very high distortion, 10% or more. Even our smallest and least expensive speakers sound far better than the speakers in big screen TVs.

     The sound system is an essential part of the home theater experience. Much of the enjoyment of action movies comes from hearing the soundtrack. We have new home theater systems with a Yamaha HDMI receiver, 5 speakers & a subwoofer, starting under $100. Our better home theater systems sound better than movie theaters.    

    HOME THEATER and many other magazines recommend MARANTZ and DENON. PLAYBACK magazine top-rated a Marantz above all other AV receivers tested. "What made it a standout design is just how easy it was to install and use. We never had to read the owner's manual to get the job done. The remote deserves special mention since it's so well laid out and easy to master." It was the only receiver earning the highest grades for user interface, plus movie and music sound quality. 

    MARANTZ and DENON AV receivers have discrete amp channels, plus 4k or 8k HDMI for best video. MARANTZ and DENON receivers include inputs for phono, USB, Bluetooth for smart phones; wifi and wired internet for music streaming, including Pandora, Spotify, Napster, Rhapsody and more. You can use wired speakers or wireless speakers for other rooms or outdoors.

     Marantz amps and receivers have 5 YEAR parts and labor warranties. For many decades, reviewers have praised MARANTZ for its warm, rich sound, ease of use and comprehensive, easy to operate remote controls.

3] LEARNING REMOTES to run most TV, DVD, satellite, cable, etc. Your home theater experience is much more enjoyable with one remote control running everything, rather than fishing between seven different remote controls.

MULTI-ZONE, so different music can play simultaneously in different rooms, wired or wireless. You can enjoy surround sound in one room, while your phone, etc., can play in another room. You only need to add another pair of speakers.

PREAMP OUTPUTS for easy upgrades. If you want more power, you can plug a 200W or larger amp to your receiver. We have Marantz and Rotel amps with deeper bass, more power and better sound quality than receivers. Marantz and Rotel have 5 and 7 channel amps, so your home theater system can have far more power than any receiver. The sound quality from the deepest bass to the highest treble will be amazing without any stain. We have processors you can use with a power amp. Many Marantz and Denon receivers can be used as a processer if you wish to add more power.
