But late because this should have been done in mid-2023. But I have an excuse. This is entirely the fault of Marantz. They made this product too good.
I initially requested the Cinema 70 once I found out that Aperion Audio was going to be sending me all three of their speaker packages along with a monster of a power amplifier for review. And I needed a capable receiver. Rather than pick one up for myself I decided to reach out and see if the Marantz was available as the revamped Cinema line had just dropped.
