## Description

Marantz AV7706 11.2Ch 8K Ultra HD AV Surround Pre-Amplifier with HEOS Built-in and Voice Control

Review: Great sound and much better picture - I had a AV 7704 which I bought on pre order from an audio dealer in MA. When I got the AV 7706 in Dec, I waited to see if my old preamp would last a while longer but it didn’t sound right and the Audyssey calibration was way off on the left channel. So I set up the 7706 a few days ago. It’s really so much better than the old 7704. The Audyssey set up my room perfectly. But the best part was the clarity of the picture. I’d say I got a great bargain.
Review: Big improvement, was easy to set up, with prior preparation - wife approved! - The Marantz AV7706 is big, had to male room, but was no problem. Did the assisted setup and was all that was needed for very quick turn up. Tested audio with some standard music and was able to compare with the replaced device. Did not take long to hear improvement in all respects. Have not done Audyssey set, only been up 2 days. And am waiting on some replacement cables. When those arrive I will do room equalization. Advice is do your homework, as there’s some complexity to the operation, but the computers should do the . Used ChatGPT to do some research, with application of equipment being used. Instructions from ChatGPT seem very reasonable and aligned with my own knowledge about my speaker performance. Will update after calibration. Update 1/17/25 - Did the Audyssey calibrations. Had no problem doing the job using the Audyssey app. Just followed the application and it did the rest. Saved it to the AV7706 did some modes per ChatGPT that I did earlier and is now in use. Best room correction software I have ever used. ChatGPT was a great help and helped answer questions per the use of Audyssey. So far very satisfied with the AV7706 and the accompanying software.
