Full Details
Go to the Theater Every Night: Japanese-Built Marantz AMP 20 Power Amplifier Drives Up to 12 Channels at 200Wpc, Features XLR Inputs Plus Bridge Mode and HDAM-SA2 Technology
Make your home theater a place you never want to leave by powering it with the Marantz AMP 20 multichannel power amplifier. Measuring 7.5 x 17.4 x 17.5 inches (HWD), it effortlessly drives up to 12 channels at a robust 200 watts per channel (into eight ohms), features an elite power-supply configuration, a massive toroidal transformer, and HDAM-SA2 technology for exceptional performance.
A technological and aesthetic match with the Marantz AV 20 13.4-channel surround preamplifier/processor, AMP 20 boasts a veritable arsenal of 12 XLR inputs that underline its emphasis on sonic purity. Another 12 RCA line-level inputs are at the ready. Bi-amp mode for driving high- and low-frequency sections of your speakers independently, and BTL mode that combines two channels into a single 400-watt-per-channel output, add to the flexibility. Ditto RS232 control, IR flasher input, and a DC trigger in/out.
Dignified with a porthole-mounted single-level analog meter that measures output, the Japanese-made AMP 20 makes a visual statement with its clean architecture and soft side lighting that illuminates the metal front panel. A copper-plated chassis and robust SPKT-1+ speaker terminals give you further physical proof of this nearly 40-pound unit’s commitment to fidelity. Whether you’re playing a movie or music, you’ll hear accurate tonality, full-range dynamics, and warm tones that take you to the event.
Whether you already have the capability of a 12-channel system or are looking to expand in the future, you can count on AMP 20 to serve as your non-expiring ticket to home theater like you’ve always imagined it could be. A five-year warranty and our satisfaction guarantee help put you in the front row.
