Marantz AV8802 - Pros & Cons

The balance is so natural and immersive
Easy and convenient installation
more detail and a more solid image
ATI signature series is also very good for a similar price point
the build quality of the AV8802 is outstanding
included remote is competent in its layout and fits nicely in your hand
performance well beyond expectations
intuitive and easy to use
good and transparent DAC

the feature set or bells and whistles
audio is horrifically compressed to the point where voices are as loud as gunfire
rather time-consuming and is annoyingly hamstrung
home cinema system
surprisingly limited in its use of the height channels
the 4 port Ethernet switch is no longer available
heavy cardboard box
the Kisto got really outdated
performance and operation of this unit would be an understatement
Atmos for the home was on its way
not very intuitive with the lights off and has limited range
lost the four-port Ethernet switch
It may not display this or other websites correctly
The plugin does not work with DTS-HD
speakers are having much more distortions than DAC and amplifier
Processor cannot touch 2-channel dedicated desktop DACs
noisy electrical grid
