Marantz AV Receivers & Preamps
Marantz occupies a unique space in home theater: premium AV receivers and processors that satisfy audiophile sensibilities without compromising on surround sound features. Their HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) circuit design and meticulous component selection give Marantz receivers a musical, refined sound character that sets them apart from more clinical-sounding competitors. If sound quality is your top priority, Marantz is the brand to consider.
The Cinema series represents Marantz's latest generation, spanning from capable mid-range receivers to flagship separates that rival dedicated two-channel equipment. Higher-tier models support Dirac Live room correction, offer pre-amplifier outputs for external amplification, and deliver the processing horsepower for full Dolby Atmos and DTS:X configurations. Marantz also offers dedicated preamp/processors for those who want to pair their own amplifiers with Marantz's processing and preamplification.
TekScene carries the full Marantz lineup and helps you choose the right model based on your speaker configuration, amplification needs, and listening priorities. Every Marantz unit we install receives a thorough calibration — including Dirac Live measurement when supported — so you hear the full potential of the equipment from the first listen. TekScene is South Carolina's authorized Marantz dealer, serving homeowners across the Columbia area — Chapin, Lexington, Irmo, West Columbia, and Lake Murray.
