Can't argue with that! The only possible reason to wait might be if you're planning to buy both next-gen games consoles, and thus could use two 8K HDMI inputs. Otherwise you can get amazing bang for your buck these days.Looks like there has never been a better time to purchase a multi channel amp/receiver.
Personally I always use the Reference setting, and I don't use the Dynamic EQ setting. How effective Audyssey is will largely depend on your room, but have you tried moving the crossover settings up to let the sub do more heavy lifting at the low end?In the review did you use MultEQ XT32 flat or reference setting? and did you use the Dynamic EQ? I found the speaker levels that audyssey set for my subwoofer, to have very weak bass when not using the EQ. i have a marantz sr8015 so im just curious what you think sounded best?

Sorry, I typed down when I meant up. I don't know what the frequency response of your speakers and sub are, but maybe try 100Hz?crossover is set to 80 hz
Audyssey XT32 room EQ correction will filter more of the low end output than Yamaha's YPAO room EQ correction. It sould potentially be this room EQ correction that is altering your perception of the lower end frequencies?
maybe
with master volume on 75 out of 98 i still find the bass impact in heavy LFE moments to be weak compared to my yamaha 3050.
I don't do video reviews anymore, but everything you need to know is in the written review.Hi Mr Withers, will a video review be available any time soon

If you have aimed about ~78-80db at the on-screen setup phase for the subwoofer when you run Audussey then it should come back roughly -8db or so if you look "subwoofer level" from Marantz menu. Easiest way to check is to run 3mic positions and then press calculate. Then you can tweak this figure to your liking, normally boosting 3-6db for people who likes decent bass impact so you lower it to example -5db first. You can also tweak the level directly from phone app for the PC4000.
From SVS article: The desired AVR subwoofer channel level after running auto-set-up is in the -8 to -4 range (typically on a scale of -12 to +12).
I meant to include the word 'claimed' in that sentence but forgot. I've just added it.@Steve Withers i may sound like broken record, but i hope we wouldn´t have to see these silly power output figures on AVF reviews. Some newer members might get wrong idea.
" The Marantz SR7015 is a nine-channel AV amplifier that employs discrete high-current power amplifiers on all channels, delivering 200W of power per channel. "
Marantz like Denon use a 70% guarantee of the claimed power rating in 5.1. Its all just pure marketing the 200w@Steve Withers i may sound like broken record, but i hope we wouldn´t have to see these silly power output figures on AVF reviews. Some newer members might get wrong idea.
As mentioned, Marantz do guarantee that their receivers will produce at least 70% of the 2 channel rated power for 5 channels driven.
Their AV receivers have invariably attained this when independently bench tested. |
