Confused by the Denon vs. Marantz AV receiver maze? Phil Jones, Global Director of Training at Harman International, breaks down all 19 A/V receivers ranging from $399 to $7,199. Though Denon and Marantz have been under the same corporate ownership for over a decade (now Harman International, owned by Samsung), not all AVRs are created equal. Discover the subtle—and not-so-subtle—differences, what really matters for your Dolby Atmos home theater setup, and whether you may want to upgrade to Dirac Active Room Treatment or even separates. This episode is perfect for home theater enthusiasts ready to cut through the hype and make a smart buying decision.
