Marantz Av7005
AV7005 Networking AV Preamplifier/Processor 
The new Marantz AV7005 preamplifier/processor delivers pace-setting iPod compatibility and streaming media capability in a DLNA 1.5 compliant audio/video preamplifier that boasts WiFi APP control and stunning cosmetics. A state-of-theart
digital front end allows the AV7005 to draw audio content from any connected PC, the internet, iPods, USB hard disc drives, and more. The audio circuitry in the AV7005 represents a significant performance upgrade over the that of
theSR7005; a Dedicated Preamplifier Subassembly replaces the SR’s multichannel power amplifier and features a rock-solid regulated power supply with custom wound transformer. All channels feature magnetically actuated, gold plated
relays for superior channel separation and near zero crosstalk, while a symmetrical HDAM layout offers an enhanced soundstage and pin-point image localization. The AV7005 delivers the kind of audiophile-grade sound reproduction that
makes it a welcome addition to any very high quality home theater. EVEN MINE!
