Marantz - SR7015 9.2 Channel AVR (2020 Model) with 8K HDMI Upscaling, Auro 3D, IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Surround Sound - Black

So far so good, I love it. I had an SC-07 so it was time for an upgrade, no regrets as of yet. Had it for a month now, noticed the price jump $250 smh

I like the warmth of this receiver when listening to music. Sounded great with movies too. It’s my first Marantz ever and all I can say is it does a lot. At 100 watts per channel it’s pretty powerful as an all purpose receiver rather than separates. Kudos to Best Buy as I started buying more and larger speakers (SVS) I decided to trade up to the SR 8015 at 140 watts per channel I felt it would suit the addition of bigger speakers. But the SR 8015 is 900$ more and unless you have the cash and the need it’s virtually the same receiver so stick with the SR 7015 It’s extremely well built and easy to set up and sounds great you can’t go wrong!

Was replacing an older Denon unit of 10 years which I had loved, and learned that Marantz was the sibling brand with some premium components. Though the 8015 was tempting, the 7015 really fits all my needs with many of the same quality improvements over the lower models (SHARC DSP, Copper Screws, Larger Frame). Airplay 2 works very well for my music needs, until I can pick up a record player for the dedicated analog input. If you aren't aware of Bi-Amping, it's a great feature that'll produce phenomenal sounding 7 channel experience on this receiver, with option for 2 additional channels if you utilize as a pre-amp. This is my first Atmos experience at home, and after mounting ceiling speakers, I must say it was well worth the hassle (though there are options which bounce off the ceiling too). My first attempting setting up eARC was a breeze using an LG CX, and when enabling airplay for music, it doesn't turn on the TV thankfully. Unless you have a massive room needing more power/speakers for, the 8015 really isn't necessary. I would highly recommend picking up the AC Infinity T9 cooling unit for this, as it matches the style and will prolong the life of this amazing receiver (see attached photos). Banana plug friendly but know that you'll need a few inches behind the unit, especially if choosing 12 gauge cables (you totally should).

I bought this last September 2020 thinking it was the Lord of All Receivers. It sounded ok, not impressive. When I streamed music via the HEOS connection it only played music on the left and right speakers. My Yamaha receiver would play all five channels. Then right after it passed a year, I was watching a movie when I heard a click and the receiver shut off. The red light was flashing fast. I unplugged it for 5 minutes and plugged it back in. It played music for another minute and then shut back down. I reset the receiver hoping for a resolution. No go. I now have it in the shop where they said it will take 2-3 weeks just to be able to get a service tech to take a look at the receiver. It sucks to pay $$$ for a high end receiver and now have nothing to show for it.

Awesome unit, with warm sounds for music and enveloping sound for movies.

This receiver is Amazing!!! Sound/ functionality/ Power / Specs/ Aesthetics. Did I say What a sound? video capabilities amazing . eARC works amazing as long as you have the right 8K 48gb cable. Worth every penny I spent. I got the SR6015 and it was so good I had to upgrade to get the full display and the additional Watts. Recommended with My Eyes Closed!!!

I do not find it easy to use, and I do not like the "sound signature" which MIGHT be a little more "resolved" but is also overly rounded and overly "smooth" at the expense of punch and excitement. I much prefer the sound of my 15 year old Pioneer Elite... even watching movies: the Marantz vocals are more "recessed" while the Elite's vocals are crisply clear. Plus, I've had nothing but trouble with Audessy... and I'm no novice to this field. I get better results simply by ear, with the Elite. I'm returning the sr7015, and will simply enjoy my excellent Elite for now and if I decide I "must"... er... "upgrade," I will wait for the Onkyo Z50 arrival.

Did a LOT of research and I am very happy with this receiver as my hub for my home theater. Had a 17 year old THX certified Integra receiver that served me well, but did not have any HDMI inputs for switching and did not have the latest surround sound formats. ATMOS was a serious upgrade and I was able to install 4 ceiling speakers to complete my 5.1.4 system. The sound is truly amazing and creates an enveloping experience. Included room calibration took some time, but rewards with a well balanced result. Marantz receivers produce a warm and “musical” sound that makes me very happy with this purchase. Price was a concern, but I wanted the extra power to drive all 9 channels effortlessly with room to spare. After many movies I can say that -10 dB to reference is a very engaging level and action scenes and explosions are very realistic. The video upscaling to 4K for all input sources is very well done and Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are fully supported and looks fantastic. It is also “future proof” as it will upscale to 8K when the market moves that way. This receiver should definitely be on a short list for doing everything very well to excellent.
