Marantz Av8801 A/V Pre Tuner

This unit is only 4 weeks old!

The Marantz AV8801 IS the best pre-pro under $5,000.

Have decided to spend significantly more and focus on pure 2-channel performance.

AirPlay® capability and app-based system control

This 11.2 channel unit can do virtually anything that you might desire including:  all audio formats, video to 4K, pre-processing and post-processing of audio, music and video streaming, HD radio.  It will accept and process audio signals with 192K-32 bit DACs on all channels.  Comes with latest Audyssey room correction software/microphone. Easy to set up and easy to use.

Large analog power supply to reduce internal noise factors. Discrete circuit for each of the 13 channels and a copper lined chasis to reduce vibration.

Marantz AV8801 preamp/processor connections

Connectors for every audio and video source you can bring to the table. There are a few conveniently located up front, too. The AV 8801 features professional-quality XLR connectors in addition to the classic RCA variety. And the preamp/processor supports up to four zones, so you can watch (or listen to) multiple stereo programs in different locations around your house.
