Thanks for another great review. And based on this review, I bought one! Given Technics gave 15% off with a trade in, it was a no brainer.
And everything you say is true.
The level of detail. The amazing stereo image. The bass. Oh, the bass! All at a reasonable volume.
And for anyone who doubts the value of room correction, I was shocked at how bad my room was and the difference Space Tune made. So much so, it’s given my speakers (Linn Ninkas) a new lease of life.

[SteebMo]

So impressed with the direction that Technics is going. SU-G700 was on my short-list but was missing some of the features that are in the GX.... man if they did a blend of the 2 with the amps/meters of the 700 and the streaming/HDMI/App capability of the GX-70 it'd be THE PERFECT modern piece with retro flair out there at any price.

[MatthewMcGowan]

I’ll always have a soft spot for Technics, since I’m still running my dad’s SA-5550 in my office. I’m just a sucker for silver faceplates. All the best from Ottawa 🇨🇦

[blainemyers]

I decided to give this a try largely due to this review, and I’m glad I did. Sound quality is sublime - and a huge step up from a Sonos amp (no surprise). As the cliche goes, I’m hearing things in my favorite tracks I’ve never heard before. The nuanced little details that come to life with this amp make it such a fun listen. Happy to report it’s been driving my 8ohm / 89db tower speakers with ease. I find I prefer the space tune measured correction with music, and with movies I like the thicker sound I get with space tune set to “wall”. All in all I’m very happy.

Hi Andrew and Christi. I I always watch and love ur videos. I have a conundrum. I have a Denon 1600. I started off using CSS criton 1td speakers. The amp and speakers are warm. It was a no-go right from the start. It had no HI-Fi at all. It really sucked. I had never thought of using some other beginner speakers. The Polk Tsi 200’s. It was night and day difference. I had some HI-Fi. I know I need Bright speakers to hear the right sound. Would the Revel M16 be the right speaker for my system to be synergistic? I was even thinking of the RPM 600m. I need ur advice badly. Thank You.

[NismoPhx]

That little 1/4" port of the front of the Technics is something special too. I've never heard my Focal Clear Pros sound better than when plugged into the GX70.

[j.w.parker]

Wonderful presentation as always -- I love the way you approach audio with the passion it deserves. Your descriptions of the product features are on par with the best sportscasts -- the natural cadence and communication style really bring your reviews to another level. As for Technics they're worth every dime. I bought a Technics MASH CD changer way back in 1992 -- it still gets used every day.

[MasterofpuppetsBS]

Hi Andrew, thanks for the incredible content both of you constantly deliver.
I bought a Pioneer VSX-LX505 receiver and am looking for 5.1 speakers here in Europe.
I watch streaming movies/series and listen to rock concerts.

I checked:
a) B&W 603 S3
b) Monitor Audio Silver 300 7G
c) Dali Opticon 6 MK2

Which one would you recommend? Do you think they match to the Pioneer? Or would you suggest anything else?
The Polk R700 are hard to find here.
I would add the corresponding bookshelf speakers of each brand and a SW.

Thanks for your comments keep it up and greetings and a nice Sunday from Germany 😊

Really strange me to that Technics hasn't developed a version of their Audio Center app for Android users. Android use is 70% of the global market (and I'm one of those users). Stranger yet is the Technics SU-GX70 offers Chromecast Built-In (unlike the Yamaha RN1000A). I don't understand why any company wouldn't follow-through and offer apps for both mobile platforms due to the risk of alienating current/future customers.

[andrewsherman]

Thanks for the wonderful review as usual. Seriously debating between this and the Marantz 40n…but also wondering whether a G700 mk3 might be on the horizon so I could have these features plus the sexy meters.

A G700 with the room correction and HDMI from this model would be a dream component

[josephramos]

Thanks for the great review. Just the amp I'm looking for our living room setup. Amazing how a simple HDMI port gives it more flexibility.

[dawaynecleckley]

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Thanks for your hard work on this review. I love the clean look of this unit and the fact that it has so many features (including room correction). I was surprised by the power rating (30w) for the price, but there is a lot to be said about clean power! I especially appreciate that brands are starting to add room correction as standard fare to their products.

[CButti-xs]

Another happy Sunday morning to the two of you. Glad it's another stereo focused review this week.

[barrettwbenton]

Well…I just *knew* this would be special. Might take a bit of time to budget this puppy in, but clearly a most-welcome entry in an increasingly-pricey field. Well-done again, you two!

[capuchadou-]

I read that Technics worked hard on getting a clean HDMI signal before implementing it. They found there was too much video noise riding along with the audio HDMI and finally found a way to defeat it right at the input on the SU-GX70. They should now be using it on all future products. I wonder what other makes just settles on letting the noise infect the sound or are even aware of it.

[AudioheavenDenmark]

It's a brilliant solution. I was the first in Denmark to give it a go. And I have the technics su-r1000 as a daily driver.. Really thinking about getting this one for my lounge ❤🎉❤

[thieveslikeus]

Tricky decision here. In Australia the Yamaha R-N1000A is $2300, the Technics SU-GX70 is $3200 (!!!) and the NAD C399 (with BluOS module) is now $4000... And the R-N2000A is also $5000.

[FFF-hgtr]

Amazing as usual, love the tone, and the energy in your videos, keep up the good work. I am wondering if you guys are looking to test some Lyngdorf products, as they do have an interesting heritage and positioning with their room correction. Plus the 1120 seems to be similarly priced to the Technics. What do you think?

[simppa]

I have a large reflective room, a set of KEF R500’s, a TV, streaming music and a box of vinyls… I think I finally found my match! Can’t wait to test this out!
