Marantz has long been known for producing top-quality home theater receivers, but they've really raised the bar with their latest flagship model. The SR8012 is the company's first receiver to boast 11 channels of power. Drawing on features from Marantz's two-channel Reference series, this powerful receiver combines high-end amplifier technology and advanced sound tuning with the most immersive video and surround sound available, for an unparalleled home theater experience.
The SR8012 offers full support for 4K Ultra HD video, and even upscales HD and standard definition video to 4K resolution. Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D put you in the middle of the action with realistic, multidimensional surround sound. Stream music from different sources and enjoy high-resolution music in your living room — or in any room of your house.
Housed inside a copper-plated chassis, the SR8012's symmetrical monolithic amplifier design features eleven identical amplifier channels with a large, centrally mounted toroidal transformer. At 140 watts per channel, there's plenty of power to fill large rooms with thrilling sound. Advanced 32-bit digital-to-analog converters on all eleven channels ensure high-fidelity, low-distortion sound.
This receiver lets you enjoy clear, detailed music with playback of high-resolution audio formats. Special processing cleans up lower-resolution audio formats, letting you get the most out of the ample streaming music choices you get through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, and Apple® AirPlay®.
Built-in HEOS technology lets you access all of your music — from your personal library, internet radio, and popular streaming services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and TIDAL.
This receiver can be easily integrated into a wireless multi-room audio system. Stream music to HEOS wireless speakers in different rooms, and control each room's speakers independently with the free HEOS app. The app lets you control playback, browse music sources, and select which rooms you want to use. Play the same music throughout your home, or listen to something different in each room.
The SR8012's 11-channel amplifier gives you extra flexibility to expand your system into other rooms of your house. In your living room, you can set up a 9.1-channel surround sound system, or a 7.1.2-channel Atmos system with a pair of upward-firing or overhead speakers. That leaves you with two amplifier channels you can reassign to power a set of speakers outdoors or in another room. If you're happy with a 7.1-channel system in your home theater, this receiver can power speakers in two additional zones. Or the extra height channels can be used to bi-amp a pair of compatible front speakers for more powerful sound.
Beautiful, rich sound. Replaced a high-end Onkyo and have been pleasantly surprised with the performance! Highly recommend!

The SR8012 has the warm,smooth, Marantz sound for instrumentals and vocals. The richness, air, sustain, silence and clarity are all present and accounted for. What I am extremely happy to report, is the attack, speed and clean power that this thing pumps into surround soundtracks! The overall musicality could not be any more well presented! The Marantz engineers have produced a well rounded beast!

Mind boggling performance. Truly state of the art AVR that will satisfy even the most demanding audiophile (like me lol). Have to see and hear to believe. If you can afford to pay $3K for this miracle, don't wait another moment. Get it ASAP and enjoy it and trust me, its worth every penny. Performance, Build quality, looks and everything is just SUPERB. Certainly exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be happier.
Pros: The name Marantz Flagship says it all.
Cons: Zilch
The sound this Receiver creates is to die for. If you're wondering if there is an AV Receiver out there thats second to none, this is it!!!The Marantz SR8012 WILL blow your socks off and leave your jaw dropped on the floor and you will not be able to pick it up. Im still trying to pick up my jaw off the floor to this day but, no success. This thing has too much for me to boast and brag about proudly, so you just have to take my word for it and see for yourself. I have owned almost every high end receiver but this one blows them away. True Story!
Pros: Sound Quality, Build Quality, Looks, GUI, Ease of Use, Features and Etc.
Cons: ?? Can't think of a single thing.
Honestly made a difference in sound quality. Drives my 7.2 system with plenty of power. Planning to utilize in new media (will be 7.2.4 w/ B & W speakers). Hope it will power the new system as well. Crutchfield folks were very helpful in my decision.
Pros:
Cons:
I haven't had much time to spend on reviewing every crucial aspect of this receiver, but I must say.. the sound quality is amazing ! I've had a Pioneer VSX-94 for the past ten years. My speakers are why I thought it sounded so good. (All my speakers are Definitive Tech) Mythos ST-L'S - front, CLR-3000-center, BPVX-surrounds, Pro-1000 Rear surrounds. (7.2) I'm a musician at heart, have been since the age of 10. I know sound quality through out the entire frequency range. My choice of Dolby Atmos speakers are the SVS prime Elevation. (Hope to get them up and going soon). This was the first time with Audyssey, but the set up was effortless. Entire bass response was clean and smooth. It set the cross over on all speakers about 20hz over frequency range except for the towers. I was playing back movies I knew well and was hearings things I never heard before. My hunting dog was setting at attention listening to all the different surround sounds. She only did this with The movie the (grey). where the wolf's were howling. Listening to movie sound tracks with this unit is like listening to Hi-res music. .it's that good. I adjusted the amp impedance from 8 to 6 ohms and made a big difference. From 0 to 98 volume dial, in a 19 by 22ft room at 67 is about 70db. It has plenty of rich power. It's does run a little warm. (no concern) But if you don't have it in a open setting , with at least 8" clear above, I would get a small quiet fan. If it stays cool, all the better.
Pros: Everything
Cons: so far none
The sound out of this thing is amazing. Just need to buy more speakers!
Pros:
Cons:
If you can afford it...and you need 11 channels this is the one to get. I have converted my AV to 4k throughout and needed a 4k friendly reveiver. I originally bought the SR 7011decided to also go with a 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos setup so then purchased the Denon AVRx6300h...really didnt like how the Denon sounded (not biased I loved my previous 3312ci) compared to Marantz so bit the bullet and bought the big daddy. I am running full Klipsch reference pro speakers (RP280Fs/450c/240s and 140SA)along with dual SVS 12 inch subs. I had the luxury of listening to and trialing all three receivers at the same time on my own equipment in my own room. I simply cannot overstate how much better/warmer/truer and less "harsh" the Marantz sounded to my ears (personal preference) over the Denon. I wanted 11 channels to run the 5.2.4 setup but still run a zone 2 that goes to outdoor patio. The new toroidal transformer is HUGE, illuminated with blue lights internally (looks great) and ran about 25 degrees less warm than the Denon. I listen to both music (wide range from Metallica-Coldplay-country) as well as home theatre. This has plenty of headroom in my setup. Pairs well with Alexa. I really like the sound imaging from the included Auro 3D as well (no need to pay for upgrade like other models). I also really liked the cleaner look of Marantz vs Denon. Definitely not cheap but like everything else you get what you pay for....there is a reason this unit is on backorder nearly everywhere.
Pros: Power Build quality Aesthetics Sounds amazing
Cons: $$$
This 8012 sounds great, always been a denon man, but this has a nice warm sound
Pros: Does every thing
Cons: Cost

Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Marantz AV receiver.
HDMI Zone 2: The SR8012 also incorporates multi-zone HDMI audio/video distribution for Zone 2 with the inclusion of its HDMI matrix switching functionality. The receiver can send two different HDMI video feeds to two displays at the same time directly from the receiver. HDMI Zone 2 also supports 2ch PCM audio from the HDMI input source selected. The HDMI Zone 2 function is only compatible with the HDMI 1-7 input connectors. It is not compatible with the HDMI 8 input connector or any other input source. Volume of HDMI Zone 2 is controlled from the TV or additional receiver in Zone 2.
Note: If the receiver's Main Zone and HDMI Zone 2 are set to the same HDMI input source, the Main Zone audio will be mixed down to 2-channel audio.
Zone 2 (Audio/Video): Zone 2 allows stereo audio/video playback of another source connected to the receiver in another room of your home via RCA line-level output or speaker-level output, as well as composite or component video. To enjoy a video source in Zone 2, you must connect the same video connection to your second display monitor as connected to your receiver for that particular source (there is no video-conversion for Zone 2). When using the SR8012 to power speakers in a second room of your home, the main zone is restricted to 9.2-channels. When using the receiver's line output terminals for the second room you need an additional amplifier to power your Zone 2 speakers; the main Zone of the receiver remains 11.2-channel. The volume of Zone 2 can be controlled by the Marantz receiver using either configuration or from your add-on amplifier when using the line-output.
Note: Unfortunately, you cannot select USB, Bluetooth and Network sources exclusively for each Zone. For example, if you select a network source for Zone 2 when a USB source is selected for the Main Zone, the input source in the Main Zone also switches to the same network source as Zone 2.
Zone 3 (Audio Only): Zone 3 allows you to play a different stereo audio source connected to the receiver in a third room of your house. Zone 3 features either a pre-outs or speaker outputs so you can use this amp or a separate amp to power speakers in another room. When using the SR8012 to power speakers in a second and third room of your home, Zone 2 and 3 are limited to mono playback, while the Main Zone is limited to 9.2 channels. When using the receiver's pre-outs for the 2nd & 3rd Zone, you need additional amplifiers in those rooms to power those speakers; the Main Zone of the receiver remains 11.2-channel. The volume of Zone 3 can be controlled by the Marantz receiver using either configuration or from your add-on amplifier when using the line-output.
Note: Unfortunately, you cannot select USB, Bluetooth and Network sources exclusively for each Zone. For example, if you select a network source for Zone 3 when a USB source is selected for the Main Zone, the input source in the Main Zone also switches to the same network source as Zone 3.
All Zone Stereo Function: The All Zone Stereo function allows you to enjoy the AV receiver's Main Zone audio source in Zone 2 and Zone 3 simultaneously (regardless of input audio signal types - analog, digital, or wireless). During the All Zone Stereo mode, only the "Multi Ch Stereo" and "Stereo" sound modes can be selected. You will have independent volume control in each zone. All Zone Stereo mode is useful when you want to enjoy the same music at the same time in multiple rooms during a get together or party.
HEOS Wireless Multiroom Audio: Built-in HEOS technology enables the SR8012 to become part of the HEOS by Denon wireless multi-room audio eco-system, allowing you to stream and control all of your local and online music effortlessly from anywhere in your home with the HEOS App on your compatible Apple iOS or Android mobile device over a wireless WiFi network connection.
