About The Marantz Model 40n Streaming Amplifier
Lately there has been a slew of amplifiers with streaming capabilities built-in and the Marantz Model 40n is the latest to join the ranks. The idea is that you just add speakers and you have a modern music system with the likes of Spotify, Tidal, AirPlay & Bluetooth included. In this case, because it's Marantz, the built-In streaming is courtesy of their proprietary Heos streaming platform which is also shared with Denon products as Marantz & Denon operate under the same parent company these days.
High-Resolution Digital Streaming Built-In: The Model 40n is for those whose music collection is infinite and online. Connect to your network with Wi-Fi or ethernet. With HEOS® Built-in, you won't need extra equipment to stream your favourite tunes. Model 40n supports Spotify, AirPlay 2, Apple Music, Bluetooth, Tidal, TuneIn Radio and more services - plus, playback of your own collection via USB-A input or on compatible home servers.
The Marantz Musical Phono EQ: The joy of vinyl playback is both audible and tactile yet requires highly specialized electronics for high performance. The Marantz Musical Phono EQ is built in so you can connect a turntable with MM cartridge directly to the Model 40n. You'll enjoy your favourite records and discover new ones, all without the burden of additional electronics.
Precise Tone Control: The Marantz Model 40n recognises that not every recording is perfect and puts your sound preferences at your fingertips. It allows you to adjust bass and treble to suit your sound or bypass these controls for the purest sound possible.
Luxurious Look & Feel: Model 40n follows a long line of historic Marantz pieces notable for their exquisite design. Every aspect is considered—from premium materials, symmetry, classic porthole display, and even smooth operation of the volume control. Your stereo doesn't need to look like lab equipment. Marantz Model 40n begs to be heard, seen, and touched.
Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules: To preserve the detail, nuance, and essence of the music you love, Marantz developed HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules) which are superior in their speed and response to off-the-shelf modules found in other products. The Model 40n leverages this unique Marantz innovation to ensure whatever you're listening to is always the most musical.
Subwoofer Output: Deep bass is a visceral and exciting sensation. When partnered with equally excellent speakers, the Model 40n produces impressive bass. If you want more, add a subwoofer using the dedicated subwoofer output and dial in the low-frequency crossover settings and level for precise integration with your main loudspeakers.

Marantz's rich history contains many landmark amplifiers, and the Model 40n ties perfectly into that heritage. Yes, it's gorgeous to look at in either black or silver gold finish, but more appealing still is how it fuses the brand's performance-first ethos with a dizzying range of features. Stream digital music via the HEOS platform, connect a turntable to the MM phono input, or lace up a TV through HDMI ARC – the Model 40n is equally at home playing your analogue or digital music collection as taking TV and movie entertainment to new heights. Anyone seeking a modern, do-it-all integrated amplifier with superb sound will find it here.
