A slimline stereo network receiver for a TV-and-music setup with two speakers. The Marantz Stereo 70s is rated at 75 W per channel into 8 ohms, has six HDMI inputs (three support 8K) plus ARC, HEOS streaming, an MM phono input, an AM/FM tuner and two subwoofer outputs. Available in Black and Silver Gold.
Marantz says the Stereo 70s brings the technologies found in its full-size surround receivers to a simple two-channel design in a compact chassis.
Why you will love it
Home cinema from two channels
Six HDMI inputs and one output let you connect a TV, games console and streamer. Three of the inputs support 8K, and the receiver supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, ALLM, VRR and QFT pass-through. The HDMI output has ARC.
Marantz says an on-screen display uses your TV to help with setup.


Slim chassis, serious connections
Marantz designed the chassis so the Stereo 70s fits where standard equipment cannot. Behind it there are four speaker terminals (speaker A/B), two subwoofer outputs, analogue inputs, an MM phono input and optical and coaxial digital inputs.
HEOS streaming
HEOS built in lets you stream from services including TIDAL, Deezer, Amazon Music and TuneIn, with AirPlay 2 and Spotify Connect. Marantz notes that service availability varies by region. Decoding covers PCM up to 192 kHz / 24-bit and DSD up to 5.6 MHz.

Sound
The amplifier is a discrete Class A/B design with Marantz Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules (HDAM) and a Pure Direct mode. Marantz says its Sound Master tuned the receiver.
