So what makes this model so special? Well, in our review, we called the Marantz Cinema 30 an AVR of "rare ability" because of its sensational sound performance.

We continue: "It has the promised richness, smoothness and control, but it also delivers all of the scale and punch that one could hope for – and it’s talented with music, too."

As you expect for an AVR at this price point, there are plenty of connectivity options to choose from. That includes seven HDMI 2.1 inputs, all of which support up to 4K/120Hz or 8K/60Hz with VRR, ALLM and QMS. HDR is also supported in all of the major formats, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+.

There are lots of choices when it comes to wireless connections as well. With support for Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Amazon Music HD and HEOS, you can beam music directly to the amplifier from a smartphone or tablet.

Its design will be a draw for many, too. Featuring subtle golden highlights, textured metal accents, and tasteful side lighting, it's hard to deny that this AVR receiver looks sleek and stunning.

All of that good stuff means that it has earned a What Hi-Fi? Award not once but twice in a row, and is the current reigning champ in the 'best home cinema amplifier over £1500' category.

It's also sitting pretty in our guide to the best AV receivers as the best high-end model.

With all of this in mind, this £800 saving at Peter Tyson is a great find this Black Friday for those with the cash to splash. Just don't forget that discount code at checkout!
