Marantz NR1601 in Pune
- Thread starter neo9999
- Start date
I think almost every HiFi dealer sells Marantz in Pune. Try AVExcellence on Dhole-Patil road, Rohit Enterprises in Shukrawar Peth, Aquarius on East Street etc.
May I ask why specifically this AVR? Do you already have the speakers to go with it?

Any special reason for opting flat AVRs like Marantz NR1601? Space constraints??
Hi Friends,
Thanks for your response.
I'm trying to setup a 2 or 3 channel system in my living room. I will be connecting this AVR to a PS3 and display will be a LED TV.
My main usage will be almost 60-70% music, maybe from a USB too, and remaining for movies.
I earlier planned to go in for a Yamaha receiver, b'cos as per my experience, Yamaha sounded better for music media. Denon scores over rest for movies.
When I further researched, I found Marantz also in same space and probably a better choice for music.
I have some space limitation in sense the cabinet where I will be placing this component might not have enough ventilation space with a normal sized AVR.
When I chanced upon the 1601, and checked the form factor I knew this was it.
I will be using Paradigm Cinema CT110 speakers( 3 of them - front left center). Since it is living room I didn't want to go in for an AVR with higher output. The NR1601 with its 50W output seemed fine.

One query -
Would it sound better if I connect usb stick with mp3 on the AVR or if play them via the PS3? My thought is it should sound better when i connect to the AVR(which has a usb port), but I would like to know from others experience.

Gotcha!!!
Never heard of 1601, but its a Marantz, so you are assured of a quality product. Power output will be a issue, but as you say 50 wpc is enough for you, you can vouch for it!!
Best of luck.
Buy from India's official online dealer!
