I have previously owned Denon receivers such as the X3800H but I always found the sound to be somewhat sharp and forward. The treble has always sounded quite harsh with a hint if distortion. Marantz are thought to be 'warmer' and I always was skeptical as these receivers are almost identical to the Denon counterparts.However I was very pleasantly surprised when I paired this with my KEF R5/R2c. The sound quality is absolutely superb and a significant step up from the X3800H. The sound is rich/deep/warm and there is no hint of a piercing treble. I could watch movies and listen to music all day. It has integrated my surround setup superbly and movies have never felt more enjoyable.Frankly I will never pick another Denon receiver again.

I am very pleased with the Cinema 40, terrific sound and enhances my TV picture.I will give it 5 stars if I can resolve the HDMI CEC/Anynet issue. My Samsung QN90BA tv remote does not power up the AVR each time. It will if I have been previously using a different input source eg Internet radio but will not if I was previously watching TV. Marantz customer service has not been able to resolve this and I don't think it's a Samsung problem as my previous Pioneer AVR worked fine with the same TV. My set up includes a Sky Q box.

Bought this unit last month using the trade in opportunity with Marantz, so I got 1K off. The trade in was a Pioneer Elite 7.2.2 setup up. It never powered all 9 of my speakers at once so I decided to upgrade to this absolute beast. The sound quality alone is outstanding and superior in every way to the Pioneer. It powers all channels and has a rich warm sound. Its HEOS functions are superior and more stable than the other one and the onscreen setup is inviting and super easy to navigate.It also has many more in-room customization options. You really get the most out of the sound with this model.
The sound is amazingly clear at low and high volumes. If you are the type of person that likes to adjust The nuances of each speaker, this is the right AVR. Total control including the ability to manage 4 subs. Love It. I found that the cinema 40’s individual amp and card for each speaker makes a bigger difference than in the Cinema 50. So much so that the additional 15 watts per speaker makes a huge difference. Admittedly, I may upgrade to the Cinema 30 just b/c of the 140/channel feature but honestly at this price point the best bang for the $$$. The Audessy programming is plenty great but the Dirac Live feature is tempting to dabble with; again if you like playing with that. It’s a bit pricey but I hear good things about Dirac Live. What sold me on Marantz is I ... MoreThe sound is amazingly clear at low and high volumes. If you are the type of person that likes to adjust The nuances of each speaker, this is the right AVR.

What sold me on Marantz is I am a prior owner of the THX model from years ago. The quality, power, and clarity sets the standard. Additionally, the bi-amping feature for stereo sounds is a big selling point for me.
Hi there. I have been on a long journey. I have had tried many receivers by denon, the x2700h, x3800h, x4700h, and the Cinema 50 by Marantz. The Denon x4700h was ok, out of the Denon’s, but felt clunky and slow, and not like it was a new receiver. It just acted old. And the Denon’s just didn’t sound right turned all the way up. The x4700h was the best for the Denon’s at high volume, the x3800h was terrible. So I went back to the drawing board, decided to change brands, and I moved on to the Marantz Cinema 50. I didn’t know there was a Cinema 40 at the time. I loved the sound that came with the highs with the Cinema 50, but the one problem I was having with the cinema 50 was the bass. It just wasn’t to my tuning. It was lacking. Maybe you could describe it a no deep ... MoreHi there. I have been on a long journey.

I didn’t know there was a Cinema 40 at the time. I loved the sound that came with the highs with the Cinema 50, but the one problem I was having with the cinema 50 was the bass. It just wasn’t to my tuning. It was lacking. Maybe you could describe it a no deep deep rich bass sound, there was definitely plenty bass, just bass that wasn’t up to par in sound to me. So I went back to the drawing board again and did a lot of studying on the Cinema 40 by Marantz. I found it was better with the separate pcb boards and amplifier, and better parts, but everyone said they would sound the same. At the time you had to order it to store. So finally got it. Hooked it up and could immediately hear the music difference in everything including the bass. They didn’t sound the same at all. I did add 3 Panamax M8 AV PRO power conditioners with high capacity outlets, one for amp and two for two subs and boy the bass jumped even higher. I could t believe how much, and how different the cinema 50 and Cinema 40 with music. I am running a Kef Q750 in front, Kef Q650c in center, 2 pairs of Kef Q150 for surround and rear heights. I have RP500SA Dolby Atmos for front heights, and 2 svs PB1000Pro subs placed in front and back corner of the room. Handles all kinds of music for rap, rock, all the kinds of bass, even computer generated bass, sounds great. Kendrick Lamar’s Swimming Pools sounds great. The Cinema 40 receiver has been my favorite of all out of the denon and Marantz receivers. It is very well built, and not as buggy like with setup with the Marantz Cinema 50. Maybe they have the calibration on the Cinema 50 has improved since update, but had all types of trouble with the setup of the Marantz Cinema 50. The Marantz Cinema 40 sounds better, is made with better parts, and I feel is the one to get, at least for me, over the Cinema 50 if you want true good sound, get the Cinema 40. Absolutely love the Marantz Cinema 40. The bass is even set at -8.5db on the Cinema 40 for both subwoofers, and the Cinema 40 has that certain sound the cinema 50 does not have with the Cinema 50 with both of my subwoofers set to 0db. I haven’t gotten Best Buy to come calibrate the Cinema 40, but did have them come out and calibrate the Cinema 50, and it just didn’t work for me. The Cinema 50 is a good receiver, but no where near the Cinema 40. They knocked it out of the park with the Marantz Cinema 40. The Denon’s don’t even compare to the cinema 40. With the Cinema 50 the bass is better on the Denon’s, but the high’s sound better on the Cinema 50. I love the Hdam SA 2 on the Cinema 40. If you want a inside look there is a training video with Marantz people on the cinema 40 on YouTube is about a 1 hr long. The first half hour is all about the upgrades, then there is just a thing on audyssey, you’ll learn but the good parts are the beginning and end, and there is Q&A at the end that really tell you about the cinema 40 and all of its features. I hope this helps you decide what you might like and for your system. As for me it is Marantz Cinema 40 all the way. It is a total Night and day difference between the Marantz Cinema 40 and the Marantz Cinema 50. It is totally worth the extra $1000, without a doubt. It has been the sound I have been searching for with the Marantz Cinema 40. I feel my journey is done. Even when the Cinema 30 comes out soon, I will stick to this, can’t sound better spouse to compare to the sound of the SR8015. I have all the power I need now, and if I go up to Kef reference series, I can just add a additional amp, and adding a amp is spouse to make the new Marantz Cinema line sound even better. The bass in the in the Cinema 40 though I feel can not be matched with the Cinema 50 at all or even the Denon’s with my setup. Saving up for the new Dirac. Spouse to make it sound like the best of audyssey setup, but 10x better if I understand. Really like my Marantz Cinema 40. Is the best receiver right now out of all of the receivers I have had. The Cinema 40 is better than all of the receivers I heard at Best Buy. I have been using Tidal as a music streaming service through heos. Tried Amazon unlimited, but wasn’t as good. I love my new Marantz Cinema 40. Sounds great.
Recently jumped back into the money pit searching for wonderful sound. The Marantz Cinema 40 is a nice unit. I have it paired with a couple bi-wired Wharfedale Elysian 2 speakers, a 1.3k Dual turntable with an Ortofon blue cartridge, and a 1.6k Denon SACD player. I'm getting great sound. Problem is, there are so many options on the Marantz that it's easy to be overwhelmed. I have no need for speakers all around the room to feel like I'm in a theater while watching movies. Straight-at-me-left-and-right-sound watching movies is good enough for me. And while I'm getting good sound, I'm still - 2 months later - wondering if I'm getting the best sound this unit has to offer. I've yet to download the app to be able to adjust the highs, lows, and midrange on my phone. And ... MoreRecently jumped back into the money pit searching for wonderful sound.

I've yet to download the app to be able to adjust the highs, lows, and midrange on my phone. And why should I have to? The last thing I want while listening to music is to have to mess around with my phone. Get my drift? Seems there are as many negative as positive reviews online about the app. Considering replacing the Marantz Cinema 40 with a high-end integrated amplifier. Might be a Marantz, might not be. So nothing really bad to say about the Marantz Cinema 40 necessarily. Just saying make sure this is really what you're wanting prior to your purchase. Make sure the Marantz Cinema 40 is where you're trying to get to and what you'd be comfortable with, with your sound system. If outstanding 2-channel vinyl, CD, and shooting music from your computer sound is what you're searching for then you might try looking at other units. Hope this helps with your search.
This is a great step forward for the Marantz SR line. If you’re a fan of their classic warm sound, easy setup and extremely high build quality you’ll be very pleased. With a beautiful upgrade to the design, Marantz maintains its classic aesthetic while delivering an updated, elegant look that commands center stage of your home theatre setup.The user-interface has also been updated as well as all the new standards in HDMI, video processing and audio formats. As “future-proofed” as you could hope for in this day and age!Truly an excellent piece of equipment that will take your home theatre to new levels today and for many years to come.
I purchased the Marantz 40 after returning the SR8015. I'm new to Marantz and all of the reviews for the most part have been positive. The SR series was discounted heavily and after being on the fence I pulled the trigger but soon had some regret. Reason being is that the SR series seemed dated. The Cinama 40 checks all the boxes when it comes to gaming systems and overall sound quality. Also the user interface is very intuitive and holds your hand through a series of different set ups that suits your needs. In addition, this device supports 4 independent subwoofers. Personally speaking this AVR will satisfy most peoples needs and in some ways might be overkill.

But I can say this is one of the more up to date and future ready AVR's that are currently out now. Hope this helps someone looking to experience Marantz AVR's for the first time.
