As a last resort, use the sub’s LFE input if it has one, though this will limit you to only LFE content and is not ideal. Even as we are talking about the smaller and most weak of all the models, being a Marantz certainly comes with a certain degree of quality that the company is so famous for. Of course it doesn’t come with all the exotic audio parts that Marantz is advertising in their higher end models but even as such the NR1510 has a high-current discrete power amplifier section and features identical power on all five channels with low-impedance drive capability for superior speaker control showing that Marantz is paying attention even on it’s most weak units.

Conclusions

This section shows those features and specifications which are the reason to choose Marantz Slimline NR1711 over Marantz Slimline NR1510. Enjoy the most musical performance from a compact, slim chassis. At half the height of a traditional AV receiver, the Marantz NR1510 delivers the musical sound that’s synonymous with Marantz. HEOS multi-room music systems connect together by dual-band Wi-Fi, making them easy to set up with your existing home network. Up to 32 HEOS units can be set up at one time, ensuring even the largest of homes are covered for multi-room music. With HEOS already built-in, the NR1510 is ready to go as a single 'zone' without any further adaptors. Virtual 3D audio is an interesting idea, but no one should expect it to completely succeed. The Dolby mode did have a tangible impact when I stripped the system down to 2.1-channel, though. With The Equalizer 2's full-bore soundmix, it seemed to push audio elements a little further into the room. For non-Dolby sources, Virtual:X is similar, but I found it more aggressive in its processing. Another standard feature we get in all Marantz AV receivers is the ECO mode that you can enable and let the receiver regulate it’s power output depending on the needs. This way you can achieve better power economy but obviously this may have a negative effect on the receiver’s performance and as such we prefer to leave this turned off.

As such it also supports dual band WiFi (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n) but this time it uses the updated Bluetooth 4.1 instead of the Bluetooth 3.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) that the NR1509 was using meaning that we get better and more stable Bluetooth connections when streaming. The Marantz AVR Remote app for iOS and Android provides complete control over the latest Marantz network AV receivers. Use it to power on/off, adjust volume, input and settings, or switch instantly to the HEOS app.Another area where not much have changed is in its streaming capabilities.
