"Best Home Cinema Amplifier"
England's What Hi-Fi? magazine honored the Cinema 30 by naming it the Best Home Cinema Amplifier Over £1500.
"The Marantz Cinema 30 is an absolutely superb AV amplifier. It has the promised richness, smoothness and control, but it also delivers all of the scale and punch that one could hope for – and it’s talented with music, too."
"Add a beautiful design, great useability and a very straightforward setup process and you have a product with almost no flaws…"
Best Buy Award and 10-out-of10 Rating
Martin Dew gave the Cinema 30 a top rating of "10 out of 10" along with a Best Buy Award in his January 1, 2025 review for avsforums.com.
"The Marantz Cinema 30 is a serious AVR with oodles of audio scale and yet capable of quiet discernment when required. The sound is smooth and engaging but confidently unassuming. You can add its audio credentials to the superb build and delightful aesthetic. That’s without mentioning a feature set list which reads as long as a Marvel movie’s end credits."
"If an amp of this price was in my sights right now, this is precisely where I’d start my auditioning and probably end it right there as well."
"Absolutely Superb"
"The Marantz Cinema 30 is an absolutely superb AV amplifier. It has the promised richness, smoothness and control, but it also delivers all of the scale and punch that one could hope for – and it’s talented with music, too," notes Yongki Go, PhD, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, July 17 2024.
"If you want a one-box entertainment hub that delivers excellent all-around performance, the CINEMA 30 might be the ticket that you are looking for. In the sub-$5000 receiver category, it is hard to think of something better," Go concludes.
"Best AV Receiver"
The Expert Sound and Imaging Association (EISA) gave the CINEMA 30 its Best AV Receiver Award for 2024-2025.
According to EISA, "Attention to detail at every level bears fruit, resulting in a performance that’s both musical and muscular – vast dynamic range, incredible power, and flawless articulation. With the CINEMA 30, you can turn up the volume with confidence, everything naturally falling into place for impeccable localisation of individual effects. Furthermore, its retro-tinged aesthetic conceals cutting-edge technology, including full 8K HDMI connectivity, Dirac Live and Audyssey MultEQ XT32 calibration options, and wide support for connected music through the HEOS ecosystem."
"Applause Award" Winner
StereoNet gave the Cinema 30 its "Applause Award" in a June 30, 2024 review. According to Michael Darroch, "With Cinema 30, Marantz has set a new standard for its range of receivers with incredible build quality, expansive cinema sound, and incomparable aesthetic style… It’s hard to imagine anyone not wearing a grin when listening to arguably the best AV receiver ever to wear the Marantz name."

A Full Complement of Analog and Digital Inputs
A full complement of analog and digital inputs plus built-in streaming and HDMI make listening enjoyable and easy, regardless of source. HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) adds uncommon flexibility to this stereo amplifier by enabling TV sound through your stereo. All functions can be controlled with the free HeOS app for Apple and Android, or use the included wireless remote.
High-Resolution Digital Streaming Built-In
CINEMA 30 is for those whose music collection is infinite and online. Connect to your network with Wi-Fi or ethernet. With HEOS® Built-in, you won’t need extra equipment to stream your favorite tunes. CINEMA 30 supports Spotify, AirPlay 2, Apple Music, Bluetooth, Tidal, TuneIn, and more services – along with playback of your own collection via USB-A input or on compatible home servers.
Built-in Marantz Phono Preamp
The joy of vinyl playback is both audible and tactile, but it requires highly specialized electronics for high performance. A Marantz phono preamplifier is built in so you can connect a turntable with MM cartridge directly to CINEMA 30. You’ll enjoy your favorite records and discover new ones, all without the burden of additional electronics.
Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules
To preserve the detail, nuance, and essence of the music you love, Marantz developed HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules) which are superior in their speed and response to off-the-shelf modules found in other products. CINEMA 30 leverages this unique Marantz innovation to ensure whatever you’re listening to is always the most musical.
Subwoofer Outputs
Deep bass is a visceral and exciting sensation. When partnered with equally excellent speakers, the CINEMA 30 produces impressive bass. If you want more, add a subwoofer using the dedicated subwoofer outputs and dial in the low-frequency crossover settings and level for precise integration with your main loudspeakers.
Exquisite Design
Excellence is heard and seen. CINEMA 30 features architectural design that can be featured or remain discreet in any luxurious environment. A modern expression of timeless design principles, CINEMA 30 features the iconic Marantz porthole, symmetrical design, and front panel controls elegantly hidden from view.
Customizability
Thoughtfully selected connectivity options, flexible speaker arrangements, and fine-tuning ability allow you to make CINEMA 30 your own. AN included remote, accessible front-panel controls, and an intuitive on-screen setup process make you feel like an expert user right away.
"It Never Faltered"
"To draw a general conclusion about the Cinema 30, I believe it is well worth its asking price. It never faltered while watching video content and performed equally well in stereo," concludes Matthew Philpot, everydayaudiophile.com. "I’m here to tell you that I’m very genuinely surprised. Without any room correction or its 'pure direct' mode turned on, I am quite happy with what I hear."
"It’s got incredible micro and macro dynamics, it’s got an incredibly refined and sophisticated sound, and lastly it’s got huge guts. The sound is literally effortless and outstanding, at all volumes," notes Stephen Libin, Marantz Av Receiver Owners, Facebook.com, October 20, 2024.
