Visually inspect the box to make sure you see no signs of damage. If you notice any damage at all, take some pictures with your phone and make a note of them on the delivery receipt the driver will ask you to sign. If it is obvious that the product is damaged, please refuse the order and contact us immediately at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com.
Open your box as soon as possible and inspect the product for damage and contact us if you find anything wrong.

Is It Easy To Return An Item?
Yes, simply give us a call at 888.899.8776 or you can email our support team at support@audioadvice.com. Many times our team of experts can help figure out why the product might not be working like you expected and get things fixed over the phone, so don’t be surprised if we ask a few questions, we love troubleshooting!
If our tech help can not make you happy, we will email over a return shipping label with a Return Number.
Hopefully, you saved all of the original item’s box and packaging inserts. You will want to pack back up your return or exchange in the same way it came out of the original box. Once you have everything packaged correctly, tape the box on the top and bottom to assure it stays together. If Audio Advice shipped the item to you inside a second box, it's a good idea to use that same extra box to help prevent damage on its way back to us. To avoid it accidentally coming back to you, use a magic marker to cross out the old shipping label or just tear it off.
The return shipping label we send you will have our address on it, just make sure you take the box to the right shipper (UPS, FEDEX, or USPS) as per the label.
If you are close to one of our stores, please let us know if it is more convenient for you to return it to us directly. You will still need to get a return number by contacting us and shipping and/or restocking charges may apply.
When Will I See My Refund?
It usually takes around 7-14 days for the refund to show up on the payment method you used. We do inspect all returns for damage and accuracy of the item inside the box before issuing a refund. Some items may be subject to shipping and restocking fees.
Can I Exchange My Purchase For Something Different?
Sometimes those big speakers just don’t fit in the room or you might have bought a small subwoofer and later found out you’d love a bigger one. If you would like to make an exchange within 30 days of receiving your item, just give us a call at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com and we will help work out the details. Additional shipping charges and return costs may apply.
How Do I Cancel An Order?
If the item has already shipped out or is a special order item, it is not possible to cancel the order. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com to start the return process.
What If I Find Shipping Damage?
We need to know right away about any shipping damage. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com within 48 hours of your delivery so we can get the ball rolling on making things right. It’s very helpful to take some pictures and email them to us if possible.
Can I Refuse A Shipment?
You can, but unless the item is damaged, shipping and restocking fees will be deducted from your refund. If your item arrives damaged and you are lucky enough to be there, snap some quick pics and refuse the order. Then contact us so we can get a replacement on the way.
What Happens If My Order Is Defective?
This is actually pretty rare, most consumer electronics work fine out of the box 99.9% of the time. We’d like for you to contact us first by calling 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com so we can help get to the bottom of things. If your item is indeed defective during the first 30 days, we can usually exchange it for a new, replacement unit.
What About Service After 30 Days?
Audio Advice has a great relationship with all of our brands and can help you with warranty service by the brand after our 30-day guarantee period. Even after the warranty expires, we can arrange for service by the brand on products purchased from Audio Advice. Just call 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com.
How Do You Determine A Restocking Fee?
You may not believe it, but sometimes we receive items back that were put in the box with zero packaging and are completely destroyed or are missing many of the pieces that came with the item. We also track serial numbers and will get back different serial numbers. We’ve even seen different items than what we shipped out be returned. However, it’s very important to package your return properly so that nothing goes missing or gets damaged in shipping, which will result in a restocking fee or even no refund at all. If a product is opened and the market value of the product is reduced, then a restocking fee may be applied to the cost of restocking and the reduced market value of the product. The bottom line is if you treat us fairly, we will do the same.
Audio Advice strives to provide industry-leading support and service while also maintaining the lowest prices available on products for our customers. We work hard with our vendors to bring our customers the best products at each price point. As a part of that process, we work with our vendors to provide the lowest pricing in our stores and on our website.
Our prices should always be the same as any other authorized dealer, including big-box retailers and major online retailers.
If you believe that you have found a lower advertised price from a legitimate authorized seller, call us and let us know so we can make sure we can correct any inadvertent error on our side. As a matter of policy, we update our prices automatically if a vendor changes its authorized pricing policies, so we generally have the best prices all the time. Increasingly, there are knock-off copies of products online, usually sold by non-authorized dealers.
Please be sure that the item meets the following conditions:
- The item is brand new, in stock, and available for purchase
- The item has the identical model number, color, etc as the item on our site.
- The seller is an authorized dealer
As always, our goal is to provide a terrific customer experience, including industry low prices. We appreciate your support.
Overview

AMP 20’s custom-developed Class D amplification and refined HDAM-SA2 technology create the most incredible theatrical experience possible in your home. It cleverly combines very high-power output and high channel count to create a master reference-level amplifier for ultimate home theater performance. Separate power supplies for line level and high-power stages ensure total signal purity from input to output.
Sound Master Tuned
Marantz's Sound Master meticulously tuned AMP 20 for amazing performance with careful parts selection to create outstanding sound in your home. Making sound the Marantz way is a seamless fusion of art and science, practiced by creators who balance and select components individually for their sonic qualities—they are the Sound Masters.
Timeless Style
Excellence is heard and seen. AMP 20 is meticulously crafted with authentic materials in a modern style befitting its rich heritage and stunning performance Marantz design is timelessly elegant. AMP 20 is elegantly constructed using steel and aluminum casework while the subtle texture molded into the front panel is lit by the dimmable soft glow of sidelights on either side of our iconic porthole design.
Endlessly Customizable
Comprehensive connectivity options ensure AMP 20 will always deliver the perfect results to suit your home theater. Marantz has provided a rich assortment of connections and configuration options to make AMP 20 your ideal amplifier. While each of the 12 channels can operate independently, channel pairs can also be switched into bi-amp mode for isolating frequency bands from each other or switched into BTL mode to produce up to 400 watts per channel into 8 ohms for your highest output demands.
Effortlessly Powerful
AMP 20 gives you 12 channels of commanding power in a single enclosure, each rated at 200 watts to perform at extraordinarily high levels with no loss in fidelity. Custom Class D amplification is highly efficient, and strategically incorporated whisper-quiet fans keep the unit running optimally even under highly dynamic conditions.
Complete Compatibility
Gold-plated RCA and high-grade XLR connectors accept audio input from most surround processors. Custom Marantz SPKT-1+ binding posts are ergonomic and provide the best possible coupling to loudspeaker cables. Low-distortion, high-power output provides ample drive to virtually any loudspeaker configuration to maximize performance.
ONBOARD TECHNOLOGIES
AMP Control When Paired with Marantz AV Preamplifiers
Even when AMP 20 is installed away from the theater room, control and status information are available at your fingertips. Using an included cable you can control power on/stand-by and dimmer control via the AV 20, while control and status information from AMP 20 can be transmitted to AV 20, and can be viewed through remote management tools such as OvrC, making network control and automation simple. Furthermore, RS232 and DC trigger inputs are available to make automating AMP 20 with a home control system possible.
Marantz HDAM-SA2
Typical amplifiers use typical parts. Exceptional amplifiers like AMP 20 use bespoke technologies to achieve ultimate performance. Marantz has further optimized our legendary HDAM-SA2 circuitry for use in all signal paths. HDAM-SA2’s high slew rate and low impedance maximize clarity, resolution, and tone.
Custom Class D
AMP 20 renders dynamics with lifelike impact and clarity thanks to custom Class D amplification. Channel pairs synchronize switching frequencies, brass buss bars replace typical wiring harnesses for improved current delivery, and custom curated ingredients elevate innovative engineering.
Isolated Power Supplies
The high-power and small-signal portions of AMP 20 have very different power supply needs. Marantz engineered a new clean and quiet linear power supply to shield the signals from each other to prevent interference and maintain Marantz warmth and detail. The new power supply features a custom toroidal transformer for the input section and small signals. The new design provides high-power output portions of the amplifier receive massive current on demand from a switch mode power supply.
Bi-Amp Mode
Many high-end loudspeakers can be driven by two amplifiers at once (known as bi- amping)—one for low frequencies and one for high frequencies. AMP 20 can pair channels into bi-amp mode to maximize performance from loudspeakers that benefit from this feature.
BTL Mode
Effortlessly pair amplifier channels together by bridging them using BTL (Bridge Tied Load). Each channel features its own BTL Mode switch, giving you complete flexibility in how you drive your speakers. Divert more power to your front left and right tower speakers seamlessly for enhanced audio performance.
