The most important thing to me is the sound and it does it exquisitely.

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2021

I had the slimline Marantz and upgraded to this receiver. It was a 2019 model so I got it for a thousand dollars. The only thing the new model has that this don’t is 8k. This has 4K which is plenty good for me. I have a 82 inch 4K tv and I’m going to keep it for a long time. There is an improvement in this the sound over the slimline. The vocals are much better. I noticed immediately. I’m glad for the first time in my life to have a full size Marantz receiver. Most of the time I had Denon receiver’s. The Marantz is a step above the Dennon. When you buy a Marantz you’re buying a higher end receiver an audiophile receiver. I must say vocals vocals are so good it sounds like they’re right there in front of you. I like Denon receiver‘s but I love Marantz. This receiver it’s a 7.2 channel receiver which means it has seven amplifiers in there and also two amplifiers for the subwoofer. My system it’s a 5.2 system. I have Mythos St for the front and rear and the center speaker is also from the same company Definitive Technology. I have two separate subwoofers by definitive technology. I don’t use the built in subs that came with the speakers. I have to say when I play rock or country if the recording is good it sounds like live music. The receiver is 100 W per channel RMS. Many companies lie about their power but Marantz you can trust. I really have a lot more power than what I need. I would highly recommend this receiver if you have a 5.1 or5.2 or Dolby atmos speakers . I have two channels I’m not using. I am in a small apartment and as long as I’m here I will not be adding any more speakers to the unit because it’s just great the way it is. If I had a large room I might add two more speakers would make it a 7.2 system. When I watch a movie the sound is as good as the movie theater. When I listen to music I listen either in stereo or multi channel stereo. When I watch TV I listen in DTS sounds so good. And when there’s an explosion on television or something like that you can hear the apartment rattling very cool.

Marantz doesn't carry the quality it is rumored to

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2019

I expected the name Marantz to carry some reliability and quality. The SR5014 is the third receiver I have received defective. The last SR5015 did did not send signal to the subwoofer channel, except during the speaker test. This one worked for three days then stopped displaying to HDMI. I tried every channel and other cables, and tried reset to fsctory. I wish I could get a recommendation for another receiver in the $1k range. The next step up model Marantz us much more expensive, at $1400. Maybe I will switch to Sony.

Best avr under 1,000 usd.

Style: AV Receiver SR5014Verified Purchase

So I just got this one 3/17/21 and got it hooked up that day. Was not to hard as I just had to remove my old one and put this one into it's place.
I have wanted a Marantz for a long time but have only had Yamaha money at the same price point. Main reason for this purchase was due to not having arc or earc on my current avr to take advantage of the new audio/video code's. I was using a tosh link for my tv to avr for sound. Plus I have been wanting to try out atmos. I have been using Yamaha with 4 ht. Channels for the last ten year's and it sounded really good.
Now with the atmos I only have 2 channels of it but it seems to do the job of moving the sound around the room above your head from the few movie's I have demo so far and atmos previews on YouTube.
I am only using 2 of the 7 channels of amplification due to using separate amplifiers by utilizing the pre outs. Plan on getting a nice 2 channel amp for my L and R speaker's soon as they are the 2 I have hooked up still to the avr. It does sound and power my Klipsch r601f towers nicely and goes will beyond reference level.
The video processing is very impressive so far. It makes my tv look better than just hook the source right to the tv. I noticed this with my ps5 with movie playback and with my blueray player. The game play with the ps5 is very smooth with rich color's and superb graphics. HDR is a game changer when it comes to tv settings. Even on my cheap tcl tv it makes the 4k picture have a very life like picture to it in a dark room. My living room can almost get completely blacked out so that helps alot when it comes to picture quality.
Setup was very simple and the avr walked you right thru it if you hook it up to your tv first using the arc or earc hdmi connection as the display screen for the Marantz will pop right up on your tv and guide you step by step the rest of the way.
I will update in a month after spending more time with this avr. So far it has exceeded my expectations in every way.

Marantz is the best...

First and foremost, please subscribe to my YouTube channel at transformational gaming. You can also hit me up on Twitter @transform_gamer if you want to discuss any of my reviews. There's good and bad about SR5014. Let's start with the bad. The app is not all that impressive. Difficult to connect to the Marantz AV receiver, the application is somewhat plain looking and is a little clunky. But that's about it when it comes to negativity about this receiver. Outside of that, this av receiver is probably the best 7.2 channel receiver out right now given the price of 999. You can say other things like not having an a way to spread vocals to the front as opposed to the center channel in surround mode. It sounds really stupid but I hear that Denon has the same problem. And Gene from audioholics has been protesting this problem, so I hope at some point they make a compromise. But, with a 4 volt output on the preouts, the SR5014 has some serious pop. My previous AV receiver was a the Onkyo RC260. So, I just wanted a receiver with preouts. When I bought this, I was amazed by the difference in quality. The preouts that went to the my powered subwoofer have noticeable clarity. The surrounds have definition and each channel just have a real punch. Maybe I had a poor receiver to begin with, with the RC260, but now I feel like I can enjoy my front stage without immediately going out and purchasing an external amplifier. I have not experienced equipment failure like the others have reviewed with this receiver. But, I must say that for those who are not Atmos guys, (this receiver can do Atmos btw) this receiver provides a great 5.2 surround solution in bi-amp mode. There are so many configurations. You will have the pleasure setting up your receiver for the coveted sweet spot. Also, another quality that was so refreshing was the EQ setting for each channel. I've been looking for an av receiver that has an EQ for years since the middle 90s. And, I can play with and EQ each channel? Man - I am just so flattered with this receiver. Great product. I may step up to 11.x in the future, but I'm just not interested in having that many channels to manage. Seem like that would be a nightmare. And how much content has 5 channels mixed in its content, let alone 11. Okay up mix is a thing... but how much accuracy is in that processing? Okay, this is a review, so I'll get back on track. If you are good with 7 channels, get this receiver. Marantz is the best. I'll be definitely looking to purchase my next av receiver from Marantz.

Setup worked fine and then lost all video that same evening. The issue was likely due to HDMI cable seating. Marantz email support was timely, courteous and spot on. The setup was menu driven and thorough. Not complicated at all. Plenty of power and ports on this amp. Can recommend it. Marantz support if required was top notch.

I like everything about the sound and video quality of this unit. I would recommend a stronger unit (6014 or 7014) for larger spaces or rooms, but I am very pleased with the 5014 in my apartment setting.

Very Good but not great. Buggy controller and software

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2019

Style: AV Receiver SR5014Verified Purchase

I bought a Dennon box system (AVR-1403/483) some years ago and enjoyed it very much. A few years later I upgraded my speakers with two Polk Monitor Tower, a Polk Center, a BIC Subwoofer and two Klipsch rear speakers. It was a vast improvement but the sound was a little muddled and the stereo imaging wasn't great, so I finally decided to upgrade my AVR. I bought the Marantz SR5014 based on specs and reputation. The sound is much cleaner and the stereo imaging is also much better but I had a little higher expectation. I have a Krell system in car and it still has a cleaner sound. The set-up was very easy except for the cardboard tripod that comes with the receiver so I used my camera tripod instead.

The one big issue is the software that controls the device. The settings mysteriously change even with the setup is set to locked. I'm also having trouble getting help from Marantz.

I used Onkyo for years, when it was time to replace everyone said this was the best and so far they're not wrong. Sounds amazing.

Stellar dynamic range, audyssey software cleaned up the rooms reinforcing wave patterns, and the phone app and HEOS all worked, the first time. Made watching even kids cartoons bearable :)
