After looking at all of the design modifications and engineering enhancements, this should of been called this the AV9902. There were multiple circuits that were reworked by their residential audio guru exclusively for sonic improvements. I’ve attached a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the differences. It’s well worth the read. Click on 8802 Cliff notes and board pictures. (A PowerPoint slideshow will be downloaded).

The all new AV-8802!!
How do you improve upon the world renowned AV8801?
By using trickle down technology from the improved Marantz Reference line; specifically the PM-11S3; Marantz engineers took a second look and dissected every critical component in the unit including the Transformer, the DACs, the HDAMs, the Filter Capacitors and more.
The results? Stunning! The engineers are saying nothing short of jaw dropping.
Based on the several improvements, the AV8802 is quite possibly the best AV Preamp under $10K leaping over boutique brands at a fraction of the price. Whether reproducing a blockbuster movie or the most intricate detail of a classical recording, the AV7702 excels let alone the AV8802. If that wasn’t enough, it is also upgradable to support other exciting pending surround formats as well as the next generation Ultra HD 4K HDMI.
Sound Video is pleased to announce that the new AV8802 will begin shipping in early February. We have more on order than any dealer in the country! I’m already over 1/2 sold out. The best trade values are for the early adopters.

| NEWS FLASH: AV7702 Re-worked Analog Outshines the AV8801 Sonic Performance. |
