Our take on the Marantz Cinema 30 Dolby Atmos HT Receiver

The Cinema 30 is Marantz's top AVR below the flagship, a 9.4-channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X receiver built for serious home theaters. It uses Marantz's warm, musical tuning and a heavy toroidal transformer, with Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room correction and Dirac Live as an optional upgrade. It suits people running full Atmos speaker layouts who also want strong two-channel music. Rivals like the Denon AVC-A1H and Yamaha RX-A8A offer more channels or more HDMI 2.1 inputs; the Cinema 30 leans on sound quality and its distinctive porthole display.
