Not yet in stock, and no India price has been announced.\u003c\/strong\u003e Our distributor has indicated Indian availability from October. We have created this page so you can register interest rather than miss the first batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarantz announced the CINEMA Series 2 range on 6 August 2026. The CINEMA 60 Series 2 replaces the Cinema 60, which we currently stock, and the headline change is the one buyers of the outgoing model kept asking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe change that actually matters: Dirac Live\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe current Cinema 60 lists Dirac Live as not supported. The Series 2 specification sheet lists \u003cstrong\u003eDirac Live upgradability: Yes\u003c\/strong\u003e, sold as a separate licence. If Dirac on a mid-priced Marantz was the reason you were shopping, this is the model to wait for. If you are happy with Audyssey, the outgoing Cinema 60 does the rest of the job today and should be priced accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOfficial specifications, from Marantz\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 amplified channels, 7.2 configuration, \u003cstrong\u003e100 watts per channel\u003c\/strong\u003e (8 ohm, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, 0.08 percent, 2 channels driven).

The detailed specification table says Audyssey \u003cstrong\u003eMultEQ XT\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the comparison block on the same page says MultEQ. The outgoing Cinema 60 page has the identical contradiction. We will confirm the tier against the India distributor sheet before we list a price, and we would rather tell you the documents conflict than pick the flattering version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor reference only, Marantz lists a United States price of 2,000 dollars against 1,800 dollars for the outgoing Cinema 60. \u003cstrong\u003eThat is not an India price and does not convert into one.\u003c\/strong\u003e Indian MRPs on this category run well above a straight currency conversion, so we will publish the India figure only once the distributor confirms it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat has not changed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA new converter does not change the connector count on the back panel. The Cinema 60 has always been about full 7.2 pre-outs, Marantz amplifier tuning and a chassis built to be driven, and that is still the reason to buy one. If you already own a Cinema 60 and do not want Dirac, a Series 2 is not an upgrade you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications above are Marantz's own published figures at the time of writing.
