The Marantz AV7005 preamplifier/processor proves beyond any doubt that less is more. No, you won't find an amplifier inside its rugged chassis. Instead, you'll find performance standards well beyond those expected by even the most demanding home theater connoisseur. Carefully designed circuit boards take full advantage of a preamp/processor's superior thermal environment. Both balanced and single-ended outputs mean you can select the amplifiers that best fit your needs. The AV7005 brings you the flexibility and connectivity you need to enjoy all the sources today's A/V world makes possible.Delegating the amplification duties to a separate component allows the AV7005 to keep a healthy distance between noise-inducing high voltage/high current circuits and sensitive low-level circuits. This means that the radio frequency and electromagnetic interferences that must be tamed in a receiver simply don't exist in a pre/pro, or are reduced by several orders of magnitude. The result is less distortion and less signal degradation in general.Aesthetically, the AV7005 is a sophisticated - and totally successful - exercise in minimalist design. At first glance, you'll see just two knobs, the iconic Marantz porthole-style display, and a smaller on/standby button. Naturally, this elegantly simple front panel integrates with any decor. But don't mistake the AV7005's true personality. Look closely at the centered display first used on the Marantz model 9 power amplifier. It provides an "at a glance" status check on input selection and gain setting. Immediately under this display, a drop-down door hides a vacuum fluorescent display, as well as secondary controls and connectors.The AV7005's audio circuitry includes HDAM (Hyper-Dynamic Amplifier Module) circuits and Current Feedback topology. Even vinyl aficionados will welcome the AV7005 as it includes a highly musical MM phono input implemented with the same current feedback technology that provides seamless octave-to-octave tonal balance for line-level inputs.
