Notice: 1 of the 2 available Subwoofer outputs has a cable tip stuck in it. Otherwise, fully functional!Just as you would expect from any Marantz AV receiver, the new SR6009 pays extra special attention to audio quality, and includes decoders for standard audio as well as for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio to create a highly immersive and richly detailed surround sound experience. Moreover, with the latest current feedback topology and Marantz’s exclusive high-definition HDAMs, the SR6009 has both the power and the finesse to astonish and astound.This seven-channel receiver has the same built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and DLNA networking facilities as the nine-channel SR7009 - gapless HD playback, DSD and AIFF streaming, Spotify Connect®, Pandora®, SiriusXM™, Internet radio and AirPlay®. Also like the SR7009, it has Audyssey DSX and DTS Neo:X 7.1 processing, an iPod-digital-compatible USB input and a Phono MM input for vinyl fans.But it’s not all about versatility, the SR6009 is also powerful: 110W (8ohms, 20 Hz - 20K Hz, THD 0.08%) for each of its seven channels to be exact. The video section comes with advanced video processing, support of the latest HDMI standard (4k 60Hz pass through / scaling) standard, 7+1 HDMI inputs and dual output for main zone & multi zone. All guarantee complete compatibility with the latest HD displays and HD source devices.It includes the ECO mode and Smart Select as well. This new SR6009 also features a solid aluminium trap door to hide the control buttons and front connections – so it looks as stylish as it sounds. In addition, calibration and optimization are also quick and easy with the Audyssey MultEQ XT, Setup Assistant, and Graphic User Interface overlaid on the picture.Number of Channels7.2 ChannelsAudysseyAudyssey MultEQ XT & DSX, Dynamic EQ, Dynamic VolumeDTSDTS HD Master Audio, ES Discrete/Matrix, Neo:7.1, 96/24DolbyDolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital EX, Pro Logic IIx, Pro Logic IIzDSD (SA-CD)/NeuralYes / NoCurrent Feedback TopologyYesDiscrete AmplificationYesPower TransformerEI CoreD/A Conversion192kHz/24-BitDigital Signal ProcessingAnalog Devices ADSP21487Video Off (Pure Direct)YesChassisFull SizeVariable X-overYesVideo Up-conversionYes (Analog Composite/Component Video to HDMI)Auto Calibration by MICAudyssey MultEQ XTAM/FM TunerYesBass RedirectionYes
At US$525, this sits a bit above the sweet spot for a used SR6009, which typically shows up around US$300–US$450, with nicer examples nearer US$390–US$450; that makes this price fair to slightly ambitious rather than a steal. It’s not outrageous for a clean, working unit, but I’d want it to include the remote, calibration mic, and ideally the original box to justify the top end.
The SR6009 is still a well-liked “muscular” Marantz: good current delivery, a warm but detailed sound, and enough HDMI/features for a capable legacy theater hub. It’s a solid buy if you want a robust 7-channel receiver and don’t need the latest HDMI/Atmos bells; at this price, condition and completeness matter more than cosmetics, so a well-kept, fully accessorized unit is the one to chase.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Marantz originated in the United States, founded in 1953 by Saul Bernard Marantz, a music enthusiast and amateur musician born in Brooklyn in 1911. Dissatisfied with the audio equipment of the era, he crafted the groundbreaking Audio Consolette preamplifier in 1952 from his New York home, selling the first 100 units rapidly and prompting the formal establishment of the company in Woodside, Queens. Though production later shifted to Japan in partnership with manufacturers like Standard Radio in 1966, and the brand evolved through ownership changes including Superscope and eventual integration into larger groups, its heritage remains rooted in American ingenuity and a relentless pursuit of musical fidelity.
The brand excels in high-end audio components, particularly amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems that defined its golden era. Iconic models like the Model 7 preamplifier (1958), Model 9 power amplifier (1960), and Model 10B tuner (1964) set benchmarks for performance, while later offerings expanded to tuners, receivers, and CD players. Marantz briefly ventured into speakers under designer Ed May in the 1970s but focused primarily on electronics rather than turntables, headphones, DACs, or cables, emphasizing separates renowned for their "Most Musical Sound."
Marantz commands a premium position in the hi-fi market, revered as a high-end pioneer that shaped the audiophile landscape through the 1970s zenith. Today, it blends vintage allure with modern elegance, appealing to discerning buyers who value durability, innovation, and warm, detailed sound signatures over mass-market accessibility.
