What customers say about "Key Specs"

Marantz SR6011

Great sound and a good number of channels. Definitely recommended for anyone wanting 9.2/11.2 sound!
Really, it sounds great. Compared to the Denon AVR-S710W it's night and day.
This receiver comes with built in 9.2 and supports up to 11.2 with a second amp, as well as pretty much every sound format there is right now.
This has been a great receiver. I am continually impressed by the musicality it brings to our theater. Even a drab soundtrack sounds special.
The sound on this thing is great and since I don't see it, the design doesn't matter much to me.

The power is a near perfect match for my Klipsch RP series speakers. Tons of features, you just can't go wrong here.
I'm very impressed so far. It sounds great on both music and movies, upgrades the sound of MP3 files, and looks a lot more expemsive than it is.
The ability to fine tune speaker balance, volume, and tone/sound fields on each input is a huge PLUS for me
Being able to utilize the Sub Woofer while in Pure Direct mode is another HUGE plus and shows that Marantz is still rooted in Hi-Fi
It runs very hot. I also have an Onkyo 656 which doesnt run anywhere near these temps. It's hot enough that I wouldnt put it in my entertainment unit, instead sat it on top for best ventilation.
Can’t use both rear surrounds and up-firing/ceiling speakers simultaneously; limited to 5.1.2 or 7.1 configurations, no 7.1.2 with this model

What customers say about "Features"

Marantz SR6011

Unit looks pretty nice. I have mine in a network/AV closet so I don't see it ever, but it does look quite nice when I go in to change a disc out or something.
The upmixing is great! It's nice to be able to upmix the 7.2 stuff to 7.2.4. Some movies work better with the Neural:X stuff, and some work better with the Dolby version.
The receiver itself, specification-wise, is very nice. Seamlessly works with Spotify and Airplay.
Menu system isn't super elegant or anything. It's functional, but isn't anything fancy. This isn't really a con, but I want to have something besides the remote here.
Small display impossible to read from the couch unless your couch is about 2ft away.

Marantz SR5011 7.2 Channel Network Audio/Video Surround Receiver with Bluetooth

Set up is easy and the self calibration works well.
Features a game mode to disable adding input lag
Good 1080p upscaler, great for legacy sources like Wii connected over component video
Supports DTS:X and Dolby Atmos
Spotify Connect is a convenient feature and normally works
The audessy procedure is actually quite painful because it takes so long for it to go through all the steps.
The operating manual is not particularly user-friendly.
The only negative I can site is that some of the options are not on screen, they appear only in the little display.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Marantz SR6011

The display passthrough stuff with HDMI doesn't seem to add a lot of display lag.
The bluetooth works flawlessly, the signal is strong and stable, wi-fi too.
It has a plenty of input/output that provide many opportunities, recommended.
The wireless connection works fine. I use both bluetooth and wi-fi and have no problems.
Сonnection with wi-fi is not stable, it happens that the connection lasts a very long time.

Marantz SR5011 7.2 Channel Network Audio/Video Surround Receiver with Bluetooth

Being able to wireless-ly play music from my iPhone, iPad or laptop is very handy... especially for parties or when having some company over
8 HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs, all supporting the latest HDMI standards
One thing I noticed and need to work on is the WiFi, seemed to take long to find my cable modem so being impatient I just ran a lan cable.
No power outlets on the back for plugging in a sub to automatically turn off
