Marantz’s CINEMA 40 and 50 AVRs Shimmer in a Luxurious Silver Gold Finish
In September 2022, we announced the release of the Marantz CINEMA series receivers, which includes the 40 and 50 AVR models.
Worldwide, CINEMA 40 and 50 were available in black or silver gold finishes, but in the US and Canada they were only available in black finishes.
However, Marantz announced that Silver Gold finish now available for Marantz CINEMA 40 and 50 AVR in the US and Canada. The new color will be available exclusively on Marantz.com, providing customers with a unique and stylish choice for their home theater systems.
The new silver and gold finish provides a luxurious and sophisticated look that can complement individual style and decor.
However, these receivers offer much more than just black or silver/gold plating.
