Why you will love it
16 channels of power
Marantz lists 16 power amplifiers, each rated at 200W into 8Ω (1kHz, 0.05%, 2 channel drive). Into 4Ω, it lists 400W with two channels driven.
It also lists 200W into 8Ω with five channels driven (1kHz, 0.7%).
Custom Class D and HDAM-SA2
Marantz says it developed custom Class D amplifiers and refined its own HDAM-SA2 technology for the AMP 10.
It adds that its Sound Master tuned the amplifier with its proprietary HDAM circuitry.
Selectable output modes
Marantz lists Bi-Amp drive and BTL (bridged) drive. In BTL mode it lists 400W into 8Ω (1kHz, 0.05%, 2 channel drive).


Design
Marantz says the AMP 10 has its iconic porthole level meter, premium materials and subtle sidelights that illuminate the front panel.
The chassis is copper plated and the front panel is metal, according to Marantz.
Control and connections
Marantz lists RS-232C control, an IR flasher input, Marantz Remote Bus, and one DC trigger input and one output. It lists IP control, web control and app control as not available.
The amplifier has 16 speaker terminals (SPKT-1+) and a 16-channel input, with a selector switch for balanced or unbalanced use. A speaker terminal wrench is included.
Is it right for you?
A great fit if you…
- Are building a large home cinema with many channels, for example an immersive audio layout
- Have a processor with balanced or unbalanced preamp outputs
- Want one amplifier chassis for up to 16 channels, or bridged channels for more power
Worth knowing
- It is a power amplifier only, so it needs an AV processor or preamplifier
- Marantz lists no network, USB or RS-232C firmware update
- Marantz lists a weight of 43.7 lb (about 19.8 kg), so plan your rack
Build your system
The AMP 10 needs a source that provides preamp outputs, such as an AV processor.
- Processor: Pair it with the Marantz AV 10 processor.
