Marantz Cinema 50 AVR Review

[thin bLue]

My Friends C50 and I don't know the price of this item.

You can see what I saw. This is what it looks like.

4ohm, optical in, front LR, 20k

4ohm, optical in, front LR, 22.4k

4ohm, optical in, front LR, 40k

4ohm, rca in, front LR, 20k

4ohm, rca in, front LR, 22.4k

4ohm, rca in, front LR, 40k

8ohm, rca in, front LR, 20k

8ohm, rca in, front LR, 22,4k

8ohm, rca in, front LR, 40k

Why I don't need 8ohm info with 4ohm's.

4ohm, about 5w, rca in, front LR, gain

4ohm, about 5w, rca in, front LR, Fr

4ohm, about 5w, rca in, front LR, multitone

4ohm, various points with output trimming.

4ohm various frequency.

2ohm, various points
At 6ohm mode of AVR output had limited.
Edit : At 4ohm mode of AVR output had limited.

8ohm various range and points.
Anyway, For me with 4ohm & 2ohm data, 8ohm seems no use.

You can check detailed settings and data with project file and viewer(Use Demo mode).

Less word more data, good job and thanks for the file

Good work. I promoted to home page.

Is this the AVR that blew up and released the magic smoke during 2Ω testing?

I was thinking more words to detail each image. For some they need more explanation.

He is testing multiple AVRs right now don't know what blew up

Do you have a dash board and multitone measurement at the preamp outputs (L+R), with RCA in and SPDIF in?

 

[jam]

It sells for $2500 in the US.

Thanks for the first review of 2023 thin blue!

Happy new year to Amir and every member of ASR!

@amirm maybe it is better if all test reviews include more text for casual contributors. The numbers are adding up for those that want more text explaining the images. I can figure things out but there are a ton of peeps that can't.

[Hipster Doofus]

WANTED: SELF DRIVING STEREO

I usually use a Toppings PA 5 amp and a Gustard X16 Dac as required as an ASR devotee. (B&W 801 Matrix Speakers)
I own a RTA (and the required digital mic) Analyzer. Which I hardly use.
I own Linkwitz speakers with a mini DSP, another sophisticated device which scares me .

But when I hooked up my B&W’s to my Denon 960 with just the basic Audyssey system and the 20 dollar app which let me at least in theory copy the harman curve . I think it made an improvement. I still use the dac and stream from a decitated computer. There is some buzz if you put your ear close to the mid and tweeter. The PA 5 was dead quiet. But the smoothing of the response curve also made a big difference…so now I am thinking of the denon 3700 with pre outs to the PA5. And use the Audyssey xt32. All in the service of better sound VS better numbers. In other words when is good enough good enough. I often kid my techie friends who build tube preamps or even digital amps,from scratch. I kid them….if you want a different sound don’t change the components, just get a bass or treble knob.

Is frequency response equalization a tad more important then optimizing other numbers.

Am I wrong to want a self driving stereo and just enjoy the music…if I am please talk me off the ledge.

thanks

Thank you for this comments, it would be very helpful to have the measuring expert opinion about what the measurement means for the listener, why it is good (or not) or where it fits in comparison to SOTA, etc..., just like Amir does.

I agree. Simply posting images is not enough.

It's the Way to go! Everyone can judge themselves!

Thank you Amirm!!

No! The test review needs explanations for each image. There are many people here that cannot understand the graphs and they need some information to help them identify the graph(s).

Add number 1 for 4700
And 4700 pre -> PA5
3700 will work just fine as well!
Nice!

Considering 'Independent How to read 101' posts and link them to review postings. But writing something with right after data images feel too risky and under heavy responsibility to me.

Considering 'Independent How to read 101' posts and link them to review postings. But writing something with right after data images feel too risky and under heavy responsibility to me.

It's intimidating and really tests your skills and knowledge to get it right but it is needed. Be confident!
