Marantz Cinema 40 (9-Channel) AV Receiver

The Marantz Cinema 40 is a 9-channel AV receiver made in Japan, built for home theatre enthusiasts who want serious power alongside a distinctive design. It delivers 200 watts per channel (6 ohms, 1% THD, 1 channel driven), giving you strong headroom to drive demanding multi-speaker home cinema setups with clarity and control.

Beyond performance, the Cinema 40 stands out with Marantz's signature porthole display and large trap door design — a design language that pays homage to classic Marantz aesthetics while housing a hidden 2-line full-size display underneath.
