Thank you so much it’s so nice to see the master at work to do that kind of testing takes years to learn . Straight to the point ,

Just ordered one to replace my old flagship Denon 5700 THX ultra certified receiver.i think im gonna cry letting this one go but glad the 8015 got such grand bench test results from Gene. Thanks for making the decision easier for me. Keep up the great work, I appreciate it

You always have the best reviews , I learn a lot from watching your shows , keep up the good work

The extensive power testing was superb. Wish the AVR magazines would still do these, reviews are useless without them. Glad to see the 70% promise across 5 (really 7) channels holds true.

Absolutely great video Gene and respect to Marantz for edging out an improvement. Now we would love to see a test with 4 Vrms with one of Marantz's Pre amp proccessors to see how the XLR out performs. Unless, I have missed it in your previous tests but more so for future products.

Can't wait to get my hands on one. Glad to hear there are benefits to adding an amp without having to resort to preamp mode.

Pretty Impressive review! Thanks!

I had the SR 7015 set up a couple of days ago and am very pleased with it. I'm using it as a preamp that replaced a Rotel that was 35 years old. I went with the Marantz because it has the latest technology and am using the preamp function to go with my Rotel amps (also 35 years old and speaks to the quality of them). I'm on a fixed income now so trying to save money if I have to use the receiver mode.. When the rotel amps die I will use the full receiver function. A couple of suggestions. 1. Have a professional hook it up for you. Today's stuff is a lot more complex and there are no videos or good setup guides from Marantz. 2. I wish the remote was RF. Gene helped in making my decision to go with the Marantz.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Excellent review Gene, like they used to be in the old days! Wow this receiver would make an excellent companion for my Nord NC500 amplifiers.

Gene, Thanks for all of the efforts you put into giving us real testing info and the DIY help. But, it sure would helpful to get your testing and opinions on gear that the majority of can actually buy. Sure a $3000 Marantz is the goal, but a $500 - $700 receiver-amp is more realistic.

Kevin, with respect, I have 3 considerations. #1 - Gene's job and value add is reviewing new products and tech for those interested in what's now available. He's sincere, thorough, and good at it. #2 - Yes, the SR8015 is ~$3k MSRP first month of launch. In reality, this receiver will be available for much less in a year, and a gently used one even less so in 2+ yrs and beyond. This excellent review will be alive for all to see beyond the product launch window. #3 - At $3k it's not -that- expensive for a product with a lifespan of 5-7 years or more. $500 a year ain't bad for the value. Incomes rise for many where $3k isn't a huge spend compared to hobbies like classic cars, or boats, and so forth. I mean, how much will you spend on smart phones and data plans in 6 years? My retirement funds fluctuate more than 3k in an afternoon. Ten years ago when my kids were younger I would have scoffed at spending $3k for audio. Today, I'm thinking it would make a wonderful Xmas present.

Thanks Gene for excellent review. The fact is that hardware is always ahead of software and it is still missing media to benefit entirely all the bells and whistles from SR8015. At the moment the best cost/benefit relation would be Marantz NR1711 and I am pretty sure that all our community would be very happy if you reviewed it. Thanks again.

Gene, When Marantz upgrades the 8805 to 8K, please conduct a bench test on this Processor...

Been loving your videos forever Gene... I own and love this receiver. Recently my other Marantz SR7015 after a month of ownership, made a loud pop, and stopped working-only a blue ring. Was connected to a Belkin Pure AV conditioner, with Emotiva powering the 3 fronts. Any idea how or why this happened? Definitive D17's up front, D5c center and Mythos surrounds. No smoke, no smell, just a loud pop. Sent back and considering a Denon to replace. Thank you!!

Excellent test Gene. I do have to comment that the channel numbers are getting ridiculous. I get it if you have a large HT room (but then you need highly efficient speakers or additional outboard amps). My room is 12' x 17' and I'm fine with 5.1 (Yamaha DSP-A1, circa 1998) so even with the extra two front speakers and a subwoofer, my room is full. If I stuffed the room with 11 (or 13) speakers they wouldn't fit! Then there is the massive expenditure of the extra speakers and the overlapping soundstages - too much. It has a place in many HT rooms, just not in mine. What I need is get up to date on technology and get an ATMOS receiver with the latest decoding and internet music channels for my small room....like a Denon X4700H. Two channel ATMOS, thank you 😊

Thanks for great testing of the amplifiers, but these machines are so much more, do you plan to do any testing of the video performance? I experienced many problems with audio sync via HDMI with the new 6700H, a sister product. I have heard from my local dealer that the HDMI handshake is problematic with this unit as well. Would love it if you would try testing the ability of the receiver to lock onto the HDMI signal and maintain the lock. I am guessing I am asking for too much :) Thanks again for the great testing and presentation.

yes i will try to cover that in the formal review.

Gene your analysis is great on the amps. Have you ever reviewed a pro amp in the same method. It would be fascinating for you to compare similar prices pro vs hifi amps - specs and sound. I have an old home theater magazine that covered an install with dynaudio pro speakers and crest pro amps for Eddie Murphy cause he wanted his theater to hit 120 dB like his studio could. Any thoughts?

Do you do any reviews of say an sr5015 to the 8015? i just wonder besides channels are the other upgrades significant to sound quality?

I'm hoping to get one soon!

Upgraded my system recently from a Denon 3100 to the Marantz 8015. I am in absolutely blown away with the sound from the Marantz. Expensive but you get what you pay for. Also bought Panasonic Hz2000. That's me broke for the next 5 year's.😭😭. But who cares I have the best sound and picture 😁😎

I just started building my system. I do not have a amp yet but I do have my Klipsch rf7iiis on a 5.2.2 system. I bought a 600 starter receiver knowing I would have to upgrade at some point. When I do upgrade would I be better getting a power amp at least for my front sound stage or getting this receiver since it does have very good power. The receiver I have now is a Yamaha aventage 780.

Nice job! I would like to see the same test over the Denon AVR-X8500X.

Does using "Pure Direct" bypass any digitization of the RCA analog inputs on this (and the Marantz AV8805A, while we are at it)? I don't mean the multi-channel input for an old school SACD/DVD-Audio multi-channel wiring scenario, by the way, if it even still has that. I mean good old, L and R RCA analog INs. Thanks, Gene.

Do you have power output measurement for all 11 channels driven? This is a great review thank you!

Can you please do a comparison between sr8015 and Denon Avr x8500h? Thank you so much

Please review the new 2020 Denon X series receivers (X4700H, X6700H, X8500H).

May I ask you a question? I have an older Marantz that I use for home theater as well as my - nice - turntable. If I buy the SR8015, would it be advisable to use it for home theater only and use my older Marantz 7010 dedicated purely to the turntable? Or use the new one for both? I care about the audio from my turntable a bit more than for my home theater. Thanks SO much for your opinion.

From what I hear and read those Onkyo's have the tendency to go belly up at some point.. their sound quality is fine.. ( I prefer Marantz though) but the quality on the Onkyo's isn't what it used to be... I don't think there is such a thing as overkill in Audio...as long as you can afford it :P Of course it is overkill to by a cheap satellite system with a small sub and expect it to sound better if you go to a receiver like the SR8015.. But if you are running a quality full range system it's always better to have more power available to you than less power. The more power and better capacitors an amplifier ( or receiver ) has, the easier it will be to control your speakers, accelerate fast from silent to loud passages, but also the other way around.. you will NOT destroy your speakers by running a more capable amp on them than what the speakers are rated for (unless you crank up the volume to maximum all the time), but you will much more easily destroy them if you use an underpowered amp to drive them.. once an amp starts clipping the regular signal turns to basically heat.. burning your speakers internals. I think that if you are willing and able to spend the money on an SR8015, it will be a great match to your system. Actually it's a great match for most of us "Audiophiles" with space concerns, as we do not all have an extra man-cave room available to us to be able to decorate that as a dedicated listening room. Most of us will have everything in the living room, where the Wife acceptance factor also becomes "a thing" :))

Gene, does the SR8015 do 6 Independent/Separate Channel Atmos feeds? I've heard that companies offer 6 Channel Atmos, but not all 6 atmos channels are actually independently fed.

I'll buy it next Christmas 2021 🌲 Time To Start Saving

I think the Amos 7 or 9 channel is worth the extra channels is you have the space and wall for it . Thank for the review I alway love the Marantz sound for music , over Denon ? My preference only.

Hi Gene ! That would be good to show the results of these tests not as a standalone, but in comparison mode. On the market, there is currently 3 receivers in the same range : Yamaha A8A, Denon 8500H and this Marantz SR8015 : which one is the best ?

Gene thank you so much for doing these tests. They are in-valuable to me atm. I’m in the market for a pre/pro and was wondering if you think the Marantz 7706s pre-amp section will perform the same? I have a Monolith 7X for my bed channels and can’t do Atmos until my next house. 7706 for now then another amp later or a SR8015 now and use it’s internal amps for Atmos in next house ? Tough choice being it’s a great performer. Thanks Gene

I know it may sound redundant, but I would really appreciate an in depth look at the SR7015. I say this because I feel that the 7015 sits in a more friendly price range and also better represents the rest of the marantz line. The 8015 looks amazing but it’s the only one with a toroidal and all those nice features. The other three models seem more similar to each other in that sense. And to see a look into one of them may represent the rest of the line a little better then the flagship. Great video though! I appreciate all the work.

I used to drool over the RX-Z7 and RX-Z11 and the SR8015 gives me that same fizz.

Hi Gene, I'm still considering an upgrade from 8012 to 8015 or 7705 (you can buy it now for half the price) + Monolith 7ch.? The prices are the same. you can find 7705

the +10 over that was because you tested at 0.1 distortion, on the stats it listed it as 0.05 distortion for 140hz so it is rated as is. also gene i am interested when the marantz SNR is 110 DB what is the difference from a lower tier receiver such as the aventage 3080 that has a 120 db snr?

Wondering how the sister model/successor, the Denon X6800H, looks in comparison. Still no Cinema 30 out there?

I went to pre amp mode because I was worried the receiver was going to burn up. Was very hot for me not pushing speakers that draw lot of power. No problem now.

In a 13.2 channel configuration, using a 9 channel power amp for the main zones, I can set up the 8015 to bi-amp the 4 atmos high channel, or I am able to bi-amp only the 5 main zones?

It's a good processor, better analog front end than the AV7706 AND on par with the SR8015. Will probably bench test the 8805 replacement.

@@Audioholics Thank you for the reply sir. Ok, so I guess I didnt do to bad selling the 8012 to get the 8805, especially if its on par with the 8015 seeing how the 8805 is about 2 - 3 years old and the 8015 just came out. Anxious to see what the 8805 replacement brings also

How does this receiver compare to Yamaha RX Z 11 in terms power ? Both sound similar or is the Marantz a bigger beast receiver ?
