Marantz continues its high-end home theater excellence legacy by debuting two flagship components: the AV 20 AV Preamplifier and AMP 20 Power Amplifier. Building on the award-winning AV 10 and AMP 10 momentum, this dynamic duo brings reference-quality audio, cutting-edge processing, and design-forward aesthetics into a single streamlined package. Crafted in Japan’s Shirakawa Audio Works, both components feature Marantz’s iconic porthole display, copper-layered chassis, and sleek aluminum remotes—details that elevate them far beyond the average AV stack.

The AV 20 is a powerhouse of digital decoding, supporting formats like Dolby Atmos™, DTS:X Pro™, and Auro-3D™ through dual-core SHARC DSP and 32-bit DACs. With built-in Audyssey MultEQ XT32 and optional Dirac Live upgrades, including future support for Dirac’s ART (Active Room Treatment), it’s designed to fine-tune your space perfectly. Seven 8K HDMI inputs, a refreshed UI, and HEOS multi-room streaming put smart control at your fingertips, while 13.4 channel output support ensures complete flexibility for serious home cinema setups.

Pair it with the AMP 20, a cool-running 12-channel amplifier delivering 200 watts per channel—or bridge it to unleash up to 400 watts on six channels. With balanced XLR and RCA inputs and multiple configuration options, it’s built to grow with your system. Priced at $6,000 each, the AV 20 and AMP 20 are Marantz’s latest reminder that great sound isn’t just heard—it’s engineered.
