Marantz is releasing a major upgrade to their AV7701 preamplifier. The Marantz AV7702 preamp is their first multichannel A/V preamplifier with Dolby Atmos. That’s only the beginning, however. Like the newest batch of Marantz AV receivers, the new preamp includes built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The AV7702 will retail for $1,999 and will ship this month (October, 2014).

When we entered the listening room to get a sneak peek at RBH Sound’s Compact Theater (CTx) Series speakers, we didn’t expect to hear a truly immersive sound system—not from the diminutive speakers we saw. The RBH Sound CTx speakers only vaguely resemble the CT speakers they replace, and the sound was big enough that I […]
Yamaha showed off three new speaker products at the 2014 CEDIA Expo, including their new Yamaha TV speaker base. We got to walk through all three of them (in no particular order).

It’s the week of the soundbar speakers. Earlier, there was an announcement of the new Yamaha YSP-2500 digital sound projector. This week, Samsung Electronics, known for its very lithe and aesthetically-awesome products, released its latest product. Samsung started giving Apple a run for its money…oh, about right after the introduction of the iPhone. Their newest creation is a […]
Getting true 7.1-channel surround sound from a sound bar was thought to be impossible. Make that sound bar (or digital sound projector, as Yamaha calls it) an ultra-slim model, and the chances draw even narrower. But the Yamaha YSP-2500 sound bar isn’t the run-of-the-mill speaker bar. This digital sound projector has 16 individual speakers powered by 16 […]
