Receivers & Amplifiers

Receivers & Amplifiers for Home Theater Systems

The receiver or amplifier is one of those home theater components you never think about until your system needs more than it’s getting. It needs to power your speakers, process surround audio, and keep everything hooked up without complicating the setup process.

If your system is on the smaller side, start here with the Marantz Cinema 60 Series 2 AV Receiver. Build a bigger system? The Marantz Cinema 50 Series 2 AV Receiver allows for more expansion. Looking for something to power a bigger theater? Check out the Marantz Cinema 30 AVR.

Your home theater may require amplification in addition to what your AV receiver offers. Options like the Marantz AMP 10 Amplifier can help. If you're going the distributed audio route and require multiple zones of amplification, the Sonos Amp Multi 8-Channel Amplifier may be the way to go.

Just because you have the biggest speaker rig or the biggest room doesn’t mean you should get the largest amplifier on the list. Look at your speaker configuration, room size, and actual channel needs before deciding on a receiver or amplifier.
