What matters to me, and why I got it, is the sound. I used to be a Yamaha guy for many, many years. In January, I got a Marantz NR1711 for my office, and absolutely LOVED how it sounded. To the point where I didn't want to listen to anything else (true story!). So last month I got this one for my living room. And speaking of sound, this baby is one of the best, most musical sounding receivers on the market. You'd have a hard time finding a better one at this price point. It makes even old and tired speakers sing. Compared to the Yamaha Aventage I had before it, this one sounds warmer, more dynamic and lively. With the Yamaha, and three other Yamahas before it, I could watch movies, but when listening to music there was a lot left to be desired. The Yamahas sounded surgically precise, but also kind of sterile in my opinion. This one is musical. Juicy. Fat. Dynamic. It touches your soul. On many levels. Music is such a pleasure to listen to.... I am in heaven!
Setting it up was a breeze. Love how the instructions on the screen walk you through everything. Menus are simple and easy to understand. Speaker adjustment (crossovers, volume, physical placement, distance from the listener, etc.) is paramount, and that's what truly matters to get the most out of your receiver. Make sure you spend some time researching, deciding what you prefer (lots of options out there), and fine tuning these. For the record, the receiver has been at my place a week and a half, and I am still trying to figure out how I like my sub volume, speaker sizes and crossovers to be set. Everything in this department is a matter of taste and, as such, is very subjective, so I won’t spend much time writing about it. Moving on back on topic.
From a power standpoint, the receiver is totally adequate. No need for more wattage in my mid-to-large sized living room.
On the back, you get anything you'd need to hook up a decent 5.1, 5.2 (with or without a separate Zone 2), or 7.2 system - which is what most people would need. You can assign your speaker outputs and bi amp your main speakers if you wish - that option is there for you. The receiver has a phono input for your turntable, and a whole bunch of HDMI i/o for Blu-Ray players, gaming consoles, etc. If you have a dedicated CD player with a coax or optical interface, this receiver can take those too.
Once set up, ARC works really well with my Sony Bravia TV. Remember to get a decent ARC-compatible HDMI cable. My original old HDMI cable was not ARC compatible and I was wondering why ARC never previously worked out for me. If you set up your connections that way, in most cases you'd need only one remote - which makes handling the entire A/V system super simple and easy (no need for universal remotes!). And your wife/GF and the rest of the family will love you.
The only three small drawbacks for me in this receiver are:
1. The tiny onboard screen. You can't see anything on that screen, unless you are 3-4 feet from the receiver. And from a functionality perspective, a long rectangular screen trumps a circular one any day. Good thing you can pull the menu on your TV (but, as someone else mentioned, strangely, NOT when the TV source is chosen).
2. The remote looks and feels outdated - but works just fine. And if you'd like a new and better remote, the newer Marantz model comes with a redesigned one - for $1K more.
3. After a lot of trial and error and a ton of research, I found out that often the built-in Audyssey will generate results which are totally off (muffled sound, too much bass, no mids, no highs, and all kinds of variations between these). For best results you need to use the mobile version of the app ($20), which provides much more control and is MUCH more accurate in my opinion. Since a phone doesn't have enough real estate on its screen, for more precision while editing your EQ curves you need to use a tablet. Turn off mid-range compensation (a totally useless feature to me). After Audyssey does its measuring, the speaker distances and loudness might need to do some more fine tweaking. Readjust those and play extensively with the EQ curves (a feature NOT available on your receiver). You’ll be blown away by the results.
Overall, despite those little drawbacks, I am super happy with this unit. And finally excited about my music in my living room. What a treat! Highly recommend this one - I give it my solid 5 stars. Go get it before it's gone.
I took advantage of the new Marantz Preset-1 and Preset-2 function, and also the Amp Assign Mode “Pre Amplifier,” to calibrate Audyssey MultEQ XT32 (using the Audyssey editor app on IOS store) for both 7.2.4 surround (Preset-2 for movies & TV) and 2-channel stereo (Preset-1 for music). Marantz just recently included the 2 calibration presets and allowed the unit to be used as a pre-amp with the pre-outs. The beauty is being able to switch easily between using 11 channels [9 on Marantz, 2 on external amp] or just 2 channels [both on external amp—none on the Marantz]. Somehow, before this, music just wasn’t “right.” Many songs were strange coming from 11 speakers as the whole “sound stage” of the original artist’s performance is destroyed and made to sound “artificial,” when the artist recorded in stereo and did not record in surround sound. Quoting audiophiles in general, our quest is to “hear music the way the artist intended.” I believe you can accomplish that with Marantz components. I haven’t heard any music recorded in surround sound yet, but if that’s what the artist intended, then it would be “perfect” through a Marantz. Moreover, using the Marantz Smart Select function (4 buttons for 4 different sources and listening modes), switching sound mode is simple. I chose for SMART SELECT: 1. stereo music, 2. Blu-Ray, 3. TV & Movies, and 4. CD. I can go from stereo to surround-sound with just a push of a few buttons, although I still have to switch to the different source input with Logitech Harmony Elite remote. Smart Select remembers all the settings for each choice (MultEQ XT32 settings, crossovers, amp assign, etc.). My hope is that a future software update will yield a one-button process for each Smart Select, which essentially would have to act as a universal remote. Either way, the SR6015 is a gifted performer for both movies and music.
I'm not a serious gamer, so I have no issues with the 4K/120Hz HDR discrepancy. I have confidence it will all work out as expected in the long run. I am currently running Apple TV 4K as a source through HDMI-7, the 8K input for the SR6015, set on 8K Enhanced, to make sure that input is working. Although the Apple TV 4K is only a 4K source, HDMI-7 outputs 4K/60Hz well through the 8K input, set on 8K Enhanced! Later, I'll try a 4K/120Hz source through HDMI-7. I don't want Xbox or Play Station. My hope is that Apple will bless us with 4K/120Hz functioning soon in the new Apple TV. I won't know about 120Hz until then.
04/16/21 UPDATE:
I’ve had more time to evaluate the SR6015. It still is a winner in my book. There were some issues with some feeling that musical dynamics were a little off in my system. I blamed it mostly on my ELAC Uni-Fi speakers, as they are rated 4 Ohms impedance and considered very, very power hungry. I figured part of the blame could be the SR6015! Long story short: I switched the OHM setting from the default 8 Ohms to 4 Ohms in the SR6015 settings. Previously, from a lot of online research, I believed that if you had a choice in your amplifier to set a lower or higher ohm setting, you should always go with the higher setting. It was believed that manufacturers would set a switch between either 4/6/8 Ohms to pass ratings-testing for Underwriters Laboratories (UL) certification to prove that their units won’t clip, overheat, or malfunction with demanding speakers, except at very high volumes. Audiophile pundits believe that if you have 4 Ohm speakers, and you set the switch to 4 Ohms, the power supply will attenuate power to the speakers to prevent overheating and clipping, which at the same time decreases dynamics. I’ve followed that logic for several receivers over several years now. The Marantz SR6015 has proven to be very special in that the design engineers actually intended for the amps to handle 4 Ohms, or 6 Ohms, or 8 Ohms. Thus, they actually “open” more current in the 4 Ohms setting compared to 6 or 8, and the system functions in its full capacity, with no sign of clipping whatsoever when you have 4 Ohm impedance speakers and set the amp to 4 Ohms.
I switched the setting to 4 Ohms, and my speakers “blossomed” even more than I thought possible. Where I was falling out-of-love with my Elac Uni-Fi’s, now I’m back in love all over again, and my system is now more dynamic than I ever experienced before and is exactly what I was looking for. So, be sure to set the Ohm setting exactly according to what your speaker’s impedance are. Otherwise, you will be missing dynamics.
Take your time exploring all the features and you’ll be richly rewarded!
