The Newest Additions to Marantz’s Expanding Portfolio
\nof Reference-Quality Home Theater Components<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

May 20th, 2025, New York:<\/strong> Marantz<\/strong>, one of the most revered names in high-end audio for over 70\u00a0years, is proud to introduce the latest additions to its growing portfolio of reference-quality home theater components: the AV 20\u00a0AV<\/em> Preamplifier and AMP\u00a020<\/em> Power Amplifier.<\/p>\n

The two new models build on the home theater pedigree of the award-winning AV\u00a010<\/em> and AMP\u00a010<\/em> pairing plus the CINEMA\u00a030<\/em> AVR, all three of which have further cemented Marantz<\/strong>\u2019s status as an acknowledged leader in the AV category.<\/p>\n

The new AV\u00a020<\/em> and AMP\u00a020<\/em> further expand this portfolio, creating a family of premium products that seamlessly complement each other, and which can be combined in a variety of different system configurations if required. Of course, all aspects of their performance have been carefully honed by the Marantz<\/strong> Sound Master<\/em> to ensure the best possible sound quality with all source components and in all audio modes. Both products are proudly designed and manufactured at Marantz<\/strong>\u2019s premium factory, the Shirakawa Audio Works<\/strong>, in Japan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Beautiful Design,
\nExceptional Build Quality <\/strong><\/span>
\nThe AV\u00a020<\/em> and the AMP\u00a020<\/em> incorporate the latest generation of Marantz<\/strong>\u2019s iconic porthole display combined with the brand\u2019s elegant industrial design language. Both are built to the highest standards, with multi-layer chassis that feature an extensive use of copper. The elegant fascia plates on both models feature selectable side illumination, with a fold-down front panel on the AV 20 to conceal all less-used functions, creating a clean aesthetic not typically associated with AV components. Even the aluminium remote control has been carefully considered and features backlighting to ensure an effortless user experience in darkened rooms.
\n
\nState-of-the-Art Processing, Comprehensive Features<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe new AV\u00a020<\/em> deploys the latest and most powerful Analog Devices<\/strong> SHARC<\/em> dual-core DSP<\/em> chipset coupled to state-of-the-art 32-bit two-channel DAC<\/em>s with dedicated jitter reduction.<\/p>\n

The result is a powerful digital platform able to precisely decode and accurately process all forms of incoming audio, from high-resolution stereo to the latest forms of immersive audio, including Dolby Atmos<\/strong>\u2122, IMAX<\/strong> Enhanced<\/em>\u2122, DTS:X<\/strong> Pro<\/em>\u2122 and AURO-3D<\/strong>\u2122.<\/p>\n

To ensure the best possible results with a broad range of speakers in any listening environment, the AV\u00a020<\/em> combines that powerful processing capability with Audyssey<\/strong> MultEQ XT32<\/em> advanced room optimization, based on automatic calibration of speaker sizes, speaker distances, level adjustment and more, all enabled by an included microphone.<\/p>\n

The AV\u00a020<\/em> also features optionally available Dirac<\/strong> Live Room Correction<\/em> plus Dirac<\/strong> Live Bass Control<\/em>, allowing for fully optimized low-frequency integration for up to four independent subwoofers, giving perfectly coherent bass response in even the most challenging room environments.<\/p>\n

In a first for Marantz<\/strong>, the AV\u00a020<\/em> will also offer the latest and most powerful of Dirac<\/strong>\u2019s extensive room-optimization technologies: Dirac<\/strong> Live Active Room Treatment<\/em> (ART<\/em>), designed to give the most cohesive and tonally consistent listening experience of any available room optimization technology. The Dirac<\/strong> Live ART<\/em> upgrade will be supported via a future firmware update.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFlexible, Powerful, Smart
\n<\/strong><\/span>The AV\u00a020<\/em> can scale to meet an extensive range of system configurations now and in the future. Each of its seven HDMI<\/em> inputs can support up to 8\u00a0K\u00a0\/ 60\u00a0Hz or 4\u00a0K\u00a0\/ 120\u00a0Hz video, while its brand-new high-resolution user interface makes setup and customization seamless.<\/p>\n

Multiple analog and digital inputs, coupled to an extensive range of custom-installation-optimized features, means the AV\u00a020<\/em> can be adapted to suit every possible customer use case from intimate media rooms through to dedicated and substantial home theaters. The discrete HDAM SA-3<\/em> preamplifier stage feeds up to 13.4\u00a0channels via RCA<\/em> or XLR<\/em> outputs, ensuring ample flexibility over system configurations.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the AV\u00a020<\/em> also supports the latest HEOS<\/strong>\u00ae <\/sup>whole-home multi-room platform, giving effortless access to streaming service content, all seamlessly integrated into one unified user experience. Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay\u00a02\u2122 and Bluetooth all complement HEOS to simplify access to the broadest possible range of streaming services, mobile devices and use cases.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Clean, Low-Distorsion Power
\n<\/strong><\/span>The AMP\u00a020<\/em>, meanwhile, is both prodigiously powerful and versatile enough to meet multiple different system configurations. Designed to the same aesthetic and performance standards as the acclaimed AMP\u00a010<\/em>, the AMP\u00a020<\/em> is configured as a cool-running 12-channel power amplifier with 200\u00a0W per channel\u00a0(8\u00a0ohms, 1\u00a0kHz, THD 0.05\u00a0% with two channels driven), which is sufficient to drive multiple different speaker configurations and speaker layouts\u00a0with ease.<\/p>\n

It also provides the option of reconfiguring pairs of 200\u00a0W amp channels into b<\/em><\/strong>ridged-t<\/strong>ied-l<\/strong>oad<\/em> (BTL<\/em>) outputs, with up to a maximum of six channels of 400\u00a0W available if the chosen speaker system requires it. Alternatively, users can opt to bi-amp up to six speakers. Naturally, both XLR<\/em> and RCA<\/em> inputs are included.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOf course, the AMP\u00a020<\/em> can also be combined into systems alongside other Marantz<\/strong> components; for example, as a powerful amplifier upgrade for CINEMA\u00a030<\/em> owners, or as a complement to AV 10\u00a0AV<\/em> Preamplifiers where fewer channels of power are required. In the same way, AV\u00a020<\/em> buyers can opt to buy the 16-channel AMP\u00a010<\/em> Power Amplifier instead of the AMP\u00a020<\/em> if they require more than the 12\u00a0channels of power offered by AMP\u00a020<\/em> in their home theater system.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the launch, Giles Pocock<\/strong>, Vice-President Brand Marketing, said: The new <\/em>AV\u00a020 and <\/em>AMP\u00a020 are the next stage in Marantz<\/strong>\u2019s continuing evolution in the high-performance audio category. They represent all that is best about the brand\u2019s premium design, engineering excellence and attention to detail, and they also usefully expand the breadth and versatility of our offering in home theater<\/em>.<\/p>\n
