The
Marantz SR6012 construction is similar to the Denon AVR-X4400H, but the measurement results indicate a slightly different calibration of some systems. The output power is 153 W at 8 Ω (the manufacturer declares 185 W at 6 Ω, which seems quite real).
In stereo, the SR6012 achieves an excellent 2 x 148 W, five-channel mode 5 x 98 W, and nine controlled tips - 9 x 48 W.
SR6012 can work with 4-ohm loads (in all channels), which, however, requires the use of a special mode of impedance selector - the situation is analogous to that of Denon's AVR-X4400H. The power decreases significantly, the
single channel - also in stereo mode - gives a maximum of 59 W, in five-channel mode 5 x 51 W, and finally 9 x 39 W.
