Very nice 11.4 channel A/V receiver, but I wish it had 13.4 channels or more. 8K HDMI support is now common along with Auro 3D, DTS X, and Dolby Atmos.

^ It does have 13 channels

[Robert Zohn]

Marantz's CINEMA 30 has 11 built-in amplified channels, but can decode 13 channels and also has RCA Pre-Outputs so you can add a 2-channel amplifier to make the CINEMA 30 13.4 Channel capable.

The Silver one looks so enticing.

its at $4500 which is a bit steep.

hopefully, it comes down to $3000 at some point.

Marantz's very first allocation/shipment of the new flagship CINEMA 30 11.4 Channel 140 Watts Per Ch. AV Receiver is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, Thursday, February 8th.

I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve, can't wait for tomorrow to open and set-up our CINEMA 30 receiver!

Does it have a preamp only mode?

[Robert Zohn]

@prerich, yes Marantz's new flagship CINEMA 30 can be used as a pre-amp/processor only. Check out the image of the back I posted above to see the "Pre-Out" RCA ports.

Oh I i know that it has pre-outs, but I'm wondering does it actually shut down the amplifier section period.

[Robert Zohn]

I'll check Monday and get back here.

Literature (manual)

"The selectable preamp mode can improve sound quality further by disconnecting any unused power-amp channels when external power amplifiers are being used."

Thanks
