A: AnswerThis pre-amplifier features Spotify as a built-in streaming service.This question and answer was generated by AI based on customer and product data.Q: QuestionWhat is the power output? A rather significant omission.(5 answers)
A: AnswerSo, as GypsyFiddler has already said, as well as the Marantz Team, this unit is a preamp-processor, without any built-in amplification. To go into more detail, deciding on which amplifier(s) to pair with this unit will depend on how many speakers you have or plan to have in your home theater setup. If you want to max it out and power 13 total speakers, maybe get two 7-channel amps or, instead, a 2-channel amp with an 11-channel amp. The size and power requirements of your speakers will typically dictate the size and power capabilities (and price) of the amplifiers you buy. Hope this helps.Answered by Elias
Q: QuestionFor how long will this price be valid?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThe price for this, and almost anything else, really depends on the manufacturer. As of right now, the MSRP of this unit is still $4,999. The only reason why it may go up in cost in the future would be due to inflation, tariff increases, or, in rare cases individual product enhancements, such as the recent inclusion of 8K HDMI support on this unit. At that point, any MSRP adjustments would depend entirely on Marantz. Hope this helps.Answered by elias

Wonderful sound processor for music and movies!
An all around big improvement over my previous audiophile sound processors, this one was unexpectedly user friendly with its labeled HDMI inputs and especially its graphic setup interface. Very happy with my purchase!

Best Preamplifier ever made by Marantz
I had been a huge fan of Marantz and its user for more than 10 years and I used to own 7 series before( SR7012, SR7015 etc) and I never had a chance to own the Flagship Series i.e. 8 series, And recently I had upgraded my home theater to PreAmp and Power-amps and I initially purchased AV7706 and I was not satisfied 100% and I felt it lacked the umphff feel and the sound staging lacked the scalability and power and it was very sounding average. Until Last week when I had planned to try this AV8805A and oh my god what a remarkable difference, The entire music now feels so powerful, satisfying and vast difference from AKM DAC's used in 7706 and the architecture used in 8805A (ESS Sabre 32bit DAC's) with 2 OP-AMPS for every 1 channel is so good and this HDAM architecture makes the sound feel so discrete providing the ultimate channel separation with crystal clear clarity. I highly recommend this PREAMP for all the Audiophile lovers and this is the only AMP within 6000 USD range and also having Balanced XLR inputs, and I also hooked up my newest Audio Streamer I purchased from ListenUp and the sound quality is Fantabulous , and mind blowing . I highly recommend to buy from Bestbuy one of the signature Hifi Dealers and shipment was neatly double boxed and safely delivered. 5/5 stars experience

It's an awesome preamplifier for your surround sound home theater, and it's very solid built. I took off 1 star because even it's a flagship for Marantz, but it does not have the actual paper owner manual. If you don't have a computer, you are in trouble because it's too hard to read in your smart phone for the electronic manual. Also the box is too cheap for the almost 5 thousand dollar flagship. I used to have Classe and Anthem, when you look at their box, you know it's a highend flagship, but not for AV8805A. other than that, it is easy to set up and follow the direction, and the sound calibration is fairly easy to setup.
