MarantzMelody X MCR612 HiFi Amplifier, Bluetooth Receiver, CD-Player, DAB+ Radio, Music Streaming, HEOS Multiroom, AirPlay 2, Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa Compatible, 2 TV Inputs - Black

Like:* Sound quality - so much better than my other Denon system that's more than twice the price.* Ability to connect to local music server, streaming services e.g. Spotify, amazon music etc., Bluetooth for phone streaming, internet radio... and it has a CD player (if you remember those).* Sub woofer out*Can act as a 2.1 surround system with your TV via sp/dif optical input (you'll need a subwoofer though) - nice that it detects when you turn the TV on and goes into the right mode*Offers true bi-amping (!!!), bi-wiring, and basic connectionDislike:It's not built like a tank - a bit plasticy (I guess they spent the money on the sound quality)

Absolutely love this marantz amplifier sound quality is spot on easy to set-up and use. Running it through a set of Fenton speakers. Well worth buying

Sound is amazing, nice build quality. The only downside is that first one was constantly dropping Bluetooth, so had to return and reorder a new one. Bluetooth on new one worked perfectly.

I bought these for a new Hi-Fi setup with some Quadral speakers. The sound is excellent, connectivity and feature set is great and I love how compact and neat it looks. It’s a great device.

So far so good! Great compact system with built in amplifier and iOS technology for iPhone Bluetooth etc. I’ve got some ace Warfdale speakers that go perfectly with this Marantz cd hifi. If you want amazing quality at a reasonable price you can’t go wrong with this system. Better sounding than some high end systems. You won’t be disappointed. 🤩🎵

Bought this to replace a 6 year old MCR611, thinking that the technology would have improved. The 611 has excellent audio quality, but the software side is a bit "clunky".Connected up the 612, first thing that I noticed was that the display was EXTREMELY dim and difficult to read. Started "Quick" Setup (sic), found available networks without problem, but failed to connect using WEP key (3 attempts). Then attempted a manual setup, selecting network, and entering WEP key (which takes forever), failed to connect again "incorrect password", again I made 3 attempts and verified the password each time.I have reinstalled the 611, and returned the 612 to Amazon. We have 2 other streaming devices, both Roberts, they are extremely easy to set up and 100% reliable, sadly they don't have the power of the Marantz for a larger room.

Without doubt an unbelievable piece of kit, I use it for my Records, Cd's, Dab+ and Spotify also will be buying a cassette player to play through it soon. I use Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 speakers with Kabel Direkt Pure Copper Speaker cables which brings more life to my CDs and Vinyl. Mixing old and new makes it ideal for me instead of using 3 systems everything goes through this. Quality product that looks great with all the functions you will need including adding your TV through it which I haven't as I have only got it really for the music and the choices it allows me.

I am sure (?) that if there were any instructions (help) provided by Marantz with this product that I would be able to rate this product. Purchased after two(Denons) failed I am keeping this Marantz.Main negatives. 1/ no help from Marantz unless I download and print the instructions myself.2/ very poor DAB sensitivity - external aerial installation £200 might help.Unable to comment on any capabilities other than the CD plays and some DAB stations can be received.Positives 1/ Good sound through my Wharfedale speakers.
