Marantz SR4023 Receiver

The next thing you'll notice is the simple, non-intimidating design - this is the ideal receiver for a smaller one-room music system or for a sub-zone in a whole-house audio distribution system.

The large EI core transformer and oversized capacitor bank comprises a rock-solid foundation that feeds all the internal circuitry. The fully-discrete amplifier develops 80 continuous watts per channel so you won't lack for power even when your system is really wailing.

But if you're hungry for more, the SR4023's preamp out/main amp in jacks allows easy connection of a brute-force power amplifier. A separate low-pass preamp output lets you add the powered subwoofer of your choice as well.

Screw-type connectors for two sets of speakers assure tight contact, regardless of wire size. And when was the last time you saw a high quality phono preamp in a receiver? Well, look no further than the SR4023's moving magnet input. Here's convenience that'll fuel any vinylholic's dream.

For custom installations, the SR4023 includes an RS-232 bi-directional communications port so you can use an advanced touch screen control system. And you can choose any of the three infrared command code sets that let you build your whole house system around three SR4023s. A detachable AC cord helps ease the SR4023 into tight spaces. An infrared flasher input lets you route IR signals to it even if your SR4023 is in a closet of cabinet.
