"Marantz has just made life a little easier for those with not quite as deep pockets as customers of the flagship AV 10 and AMP 10. This latest '20' package consisting of both AV processor and power amplifier still sounds marvellous."
Marantz's proprietary HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) circuitry replaces standard op-amps with precision-tuned discrete components. This design reduces noise and distortion, so you get a more dynamic and detailed soundstage. The AV 20 benefits from this by maintaining clarity across all frequencies, giving vocals natural presence and instruments more lifelike texture – even at high volumes or during complex scenes.
All seven HDMI inputs on the AV 20 support 8K UHD, ensuring you’re ready for the latest video standards and content. This means crystal-clear visuals, sharper detail, and smoother motion on compatible displays. Enhanced features like eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) and support for HDR formats such as Dolby Vision ensure seamless integration with next-generation gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, and streaming devices.
The AV 20 has been tuned by Marantz Sound Masters, experts in shaping how every unit sounds. Their goal is to balance clarity, warmth, and emotional impact so that music and movies feel engaging without fatigue. The attention to tuning ensures that dialogue remains crisp, low-end stays tight, and the overall mix maintains its intended dynamic range, no matter what you're listening to.
At the heart of the AMP 20 is its 12-channel Class D amplification, delivering up to 200 watts per channel. This design allows you to drive a full Dolby Atmos or DTS:X setup with ease, without needing multiple amps. Each channel has enough headroom to handle dynamic movie soundtracks, thunderous explosions and subtle musical textures alike. The result is an even, powerful performance across your entire room, ensuring every listener gets the same high-impact experience, whether front and centre or off to the side.
The AMP 20 uses Marantz’s custom Class D amplification modules, engineered for both power and precision. These modules deliver high output without compromising on clarity, letting you enjoy intense soundscapes without distortion. Class D technology is also energy-efficient, so the amplifier runs cooler and is more reliable over long sessions. Whether you're watching a high-action film or listening to a delicate orchestral piece, this amplifier delivers clean, responsive audio that adapts beautifully to your content.
Marantz’s HDAM-SA2 technology is key to the AMP 20’s musical character. These discrete amplifier modules replace traditional op-amps to offer better signal accuracy and lower noise. That means more detail in dialogue, richer textures in music and a more lifelike soundstage. This circuitry helps preserve the emotional impact of every scene or song, making the AMP 20 ideal not just for cinema fans but also for those who love listening to music in high fidelity.
