the marantz NR 1508 is the company's latest slimline receiver and its biggest claim to fame it really beefs up on music streaming the marantz offers heõs multi room music which means you can control multiple speakers around your house at once heõs brings with it support for Spotify Pandora Amazon music and iHeartRadio but it may not be as useful as the more open chromecast system or play fire as far as connections the marantz includes six HDMI ports with compatibility with the latest video standards including Dolby vision HDR as a slimline receiver it doesn't have as much power as full-size models but it is still able to output 50 watts per 5 channels this is great for small rooms or for easy to drive speakers such as those from clinch the receiver comes with a remote that is pretty easy to use even if the on-screen display it controls is fairly rudimentary what you're paying for here is a smaller size and an extensive feature count so compared against a full sized receiver like the Sony STR DN 1080 which also has Dolby Atmos support it can't quite offer the same level of immersion however the marantz sounds good especially with music but is also still able to offer excellent surround sound performance it sounds details and able to shake a smaller listening room as required if you don't need or want height speakers in your house unlike the discreet looks of the marantz that's one of the best slimline receivers we've tested yet especially at the money the marantz NR 1508 is available now for five hundred and fifty dollars you
