Marantz

Blu-ray players

Marantz BD8002

The Marantz BD8002 Blu-ray player delivers great Blu-ray pictures, but it isn't quite the complete machine

Hi-fi amplifiers

Marantz PM5003

Superior product in some ways, but the PM5003 lacks the cohesion to trouble the class leaders

CD players

Marantz SA-11S2

Thoroughly likeable in most ways and admirable in some, but a lack of bottom-end rigour hampers the big Marantz

CD players

Marantz CD5003

Marantz has replaced its CD5001 with the CD5003, a subtle but effective upgrade of the original player in a sharp new set of clothes

Soundbars

Marantz ES7001

Impressive power, scale and extension from a one-box surround sound system, even without a subwoofer

Home cinema amplifiers

Marantz SR8002

Power and panache, rest assured the SR8002 is as well equipped as most people will ever need

iPod docks etc

Marantz IS201

A great-sounding dock with plenty of connectivity, but not quite the best in class

Projectors

Marantz VP-15S1

With its punchy picture, ease of set-up, sharp edges and lack of noise, this Marantz is an obvious five-star buy

Power amps

Marantz MA-9S2

Superb monobloc power amps that will pummel your senses

Home cinema amplifiers

Marantz SR7002

A well-made, comprehensively specified receiver
