Marantz AV8802 Surround Sound Processor

David Vaughn has posted a review of the Marantz AV8802 surround sound processor ($3999) at Sound and Visions. His conclusions:

“After experiencing Atmos in my home, I have to admit: There’s no way I can ever go back to a conventional five- or seven-channel system. Furthermore, when the considerable improvement in two-channel performance is factored in, this is an easy upgrade to consider. In fact, the AV8802 would be my first choice for our Top Pick of the Year, and it will be tough to knock off its perch as the rest of 2015 plays out. Highly recommended.”
