Preamp mode doesn't turn off the amplifiers. It just breaks the connection from the preamp but the amps are still biased and dissipating heat. The reason the unit runs cooler in preamp mode is because it automatically switches to Eco mode so the amps are biased at a lower voltage rail. The preamp on this AV receiver is so good that it measures better than anything Marantz makes on equal footing to to the AV8805 and a step up from the AV7706. Cheers.

I recently got the Marantz 7015 and love it.

Great video, as always!

Once you solved the bass problem, did the unit sound better with your external amplification vs the internals? Or was the difference negligible?

[mrrandy]

I wish Marantz would hurry up with the release of the flagship pre-amp

[bs]

Enhanced performance of your unit. My wife is going to enjoy this for sure.

Would love an in depth review of the Denon 8500H or the Denon AVC 110, to see how they compare to this!

[brandonculler]

Love the review, I wonder why Marantz or Denon have not incorporated XLR inputs into any of their receivers? Feels like tablesteaks at this point for a flagship receiver at that price point.

Great video man, really weird how it changes the bass output. I have the Marantz AV7706 waiting for me when I get home, I am looking forward to hearing the Marantz sound in my own room. Cheers brother, and Merry Christmas.

I got the sr5010 after my father died it’s a masterpiece of a receiver it may not be the most expensive but it’s certainly powerful and very good for a medium and small home theatre so if you want a budget receiver that still has audssey atmos and dtsx and you have a small or medium home theatre then you should get it

[garysmith]

Youthman, just wanted to say, I have the SR-6011 in my theater, running in AUTO mode, it is cooler when 'idling'. And believe it or not, Marantz STILL sends me UPDATES for this older AVR, talk about continued support! YEAAAAY Marantz ((O:

[MrElchav]

The reason for the difference in Preamp vs non Preamp mode is that in Preamp mode, Audyssey is disabled! No EQ or treatment is applied and the sound just passes through. I found this out on the denon X8500h

[bryanhess]

Did you notice any benefits besides the heat in running this with an external amp? Did you notice any sound quality difference?

[kev]

How much electricity does it use? Typical? Idle? Does it come with a fan for cooling?

Good review. I am upgrading my HT to 4k and have been doing research on what receiver to purchase. Tough situation because this receiver and many others are continually out of stock. However at a local electronics store, Nebraska Furniture Mart, they had this SR8015 on sale brand new for $2, 200. They only had 3 in stock so I picked one up. They may have some new models coming out in a few months but the current model has all I need and then some so I would rather save a grand.

[AMERICOBECKS]

I have been waiting for this review for months yessss, nice review but I believe you really missed to mention in detail sound quality and comparison with the old 8012 model

[ronniebona]

Do you think it’s worth it to buy this today in 2023? Or should I look at something new?

[performancebasedheatingair]

I had been planning on a 7706 with emotiva 11 channel. But I think you just talked me into the AVR. For what i have and the ability to add later this just makes sense....Plus Audioholics comment on the preamp mode over the I researched those D-box for several hours yesterday. Pretty dang cool but whew, a whole lot of money....Excellent review on this video....Thanks so much

[AscendedSaiyan]

Youthman, how would you rate this against the Denon 8500 AVR?

[stanjfrench]

Nice video, very informative. At the 18:50 point you mentioned that the Marantz 8015 has some issues with the new Xbox Series X. Can you provide me more details on what those issues are? I just got an Xbox Series X so compatibility with the Marantz at 4K/120 is very important to me. Thanks.
