Review on ๐ŸŽถ Marantz NR1200 Black AV Receiver: The Ultimate Stereo Experience by Stanislaw Komorowski แ Œ

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

This is my first Hi-Fi after the school years of the 90s, when we used Soviet amplifiers, acoustics, vinyl Hi-Fi players, and when the first Japanese Akai appeared, as Nautilus sang . Or rather Hi-res Audio. I wanted a good sound, I decided not to take a used amplifier or receiver for ebay, because modern technologies in the form of HEOS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connections, all sorts of useful USB and HDMI connectors and interfaces, as well as AirPlay2, TUNEIN Internet services , Deezer, Tidal - present in the Marantz NR1200, of course, outweighed and put an end to the choice. I chose carefully, I listened to other receivers from my friends. I wanted exactly everything in one, and not in blocks: an amplifier, a CD and vinyl player, in short, something more budgetary and maybe simpler, in general stereo and with the ability to connect subwoofers, not 5.1 and not 7.1. Hello to M. Borzenkov with his reviews on YouTube channel and sedition about buying two REL T7i subs! In this price segment, the sound is decent - I have Mission SX3 acoustics, they also connected it to my friend's Dali Oberon 7 and compared it with the previous generation Onkyo receiver. Everything plays well for this level. Very clean, high quality, pleasant and all that . in plans to conjure with wires, a power cord and acoustic cords of good quality from a friend showed the result clearly. But when two Naim blocks were connected to the same Dali, approximately worth half a yellow fruit, the scene expanded and approached, the buzz is unreal . but at a price clearly several times overpriced. compared face to face. and both play very well. but Naim is clearly a little better. I think that when I replace the acoustics, I will definitely be able to achieve such a sound and stage, but Naim definitely asks for expensive acoustics and, I think, there will probably be a bigger gap. In general, Marantz is very good, I even regretted that I somehow forgot that there are all these amplifiers and just listened to the MP3 format in smartphones, on a computer and in a car, Ay yai yai . but I could enjoy excellent sound . and probably already I would have gone to the higher level.

Pros
  • The design is very good. The console is comfortable. It is also controlled via a smartphone, but there the HEOS program interface is not the most convenient in my opinion and is a little buggy and slow. All these Internet applications are simply class! At first I just listened to Internet radio and music from a flash drive in Lossless FLAC format, in DSD format it is more difficult to search, but I donโ€™t hear much difference in the stock version. Then I installed the Spotify online audio streaming service on my computer and smartphone - gorgeous. You output everything you need directly from the computer - Marantz reproduces!
Cons
  • No
