Abstract: ATTENDED a launch event for the Marantz Model 40n a few months ago and marveled at just how far the iconic brand has come since founder Saul Marantz took his first steps as an audio pioneer way back in 1945. There's also a stereo "power amp in" for connecting a preamplifier, which allows the 40n to be used as a power amp, and a subwoofer output with a selectable crossover setting (40, 60, 100, and 120 Hz). It also houses an integrated amplifier and dedicated headphone output as well as something Saul Marantz probably couldn't have imagined - a music streamer. And while the 40n sports ARC and Bluetooth functionality, it doesn't provide the latest versions of those features - eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) and aptX HD-enabled Bluetooth, both of which can potentially deliver better audio quality (though eARC doesn't provide an advantage over ARC in a two-channel setting).
