Marantz AV 10 Preamplifier
The Marantz AV 10 is a reference-grade 15.4-channel home theater preamplifier/processor built for enthusiasts who want true cinema performance with the musical refinement Marantz is known for. Engineered and sound-master tuned with Marantz’s proprietary HDAM circuitry, it delivers immersive detail, lifelike dynamics, and a rich tonal balance that elevates everything from blockbuster Atmos mixes to high-resolution stereo streaming. With 7 HDMI 2.1 inputs, 8K/60 and 4K/120 pass-through, and wide HDR support, AV 10 is ready for next-gen gaming and premium home cinema—while advanced processing for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro, IMAX Enhanced, and Auro-3D creates a huge, precise soundstage. Add HEOS Built-in multi-room streaming, Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room calibration, and Dirac Live upgradability, and you have a flagship control center designed to anchor elite, fully-custom home theater systems. The Marantz AV 10 is part of ListenUp's Marantz AV Separates Collection.
What It's Good At:
Creates a truly reference-level theater with 15.4 channels of processing and expansive 3D surround formats
Delivers premium system integration with 17.4 RCA + 17.4 XLR multichannel pre-outs and 4 independent subwoofer outputs
Future-proofs video sources with 7 HDMI 2.1 inputs, 8K/60, 4K/120, and broad HDR compatibility
Optimizes real rooms with Audyssey MultEQ XT32 (plus Dirac Live upgradability) for tighter imaging and cleaner bass
Powers whole-home audio with HEOS multi-room streaming, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and high-res file support including DSD
Fits custom installs with IP/RS-232 control, web control, app control, DC triggers, and CI-friendly zone features
First off: I am very happy ... but:
1. Checking the forums I don't seem to be the only one with 12V trigger issues. 90% of the time they work fine until they don't. Mostly by switching on and off manually on the processor, the triggers might or might not fire. Off seems to be more off an issue than on.
2. My reason for the upgrade from the AV8805 were the additional Front Wide channels. Again wonderful, when they engage (Mulri Ch). but I wished (I could find) a setting to add them to Stereo mode. Guess I was hoping for a 4-channel mode.
3. I know it's Marantz's style, but since forever it has annoyed me that I have to leave the front door open to see the additional (and in my opinion more important) display. That po(r)thole was never to my liking.
4. I knew ahead of time that not all 17 channels would be active at the same time, but would have been nice at $7000. I love my 9.2.8 setup, wished I could use it fully.
5. The Remote: different but not better. Volume controls are not easy to find in the dark. Backlight helps. Why the heck did they switch the sources around? I am old and learning new things... In the dark I constantly hit the wrong source- but I am getting better- although having 2 other Marantz remotes in use doesn't help...
6. Directional subs implemented, but in my first 2 weeks I have not yet noticed a difference. Guess crossing over at 40 or 60 Hz gets rid of the location issue. Oh, yeah: 30 HZ crossover option (or customizable) would be nice too.
Altogether I am very happy, just wishing for this little extra to achieve perfection. If I could only find more native Auro-3D content; but that is another issue...
