The new program will work to ensure products will deliver IMAX 4K HDR content and DTS audio technologies in a 'new level of quality' for home entertainment. Launch partners include Sony, Denon and Marantz; an 'IMAX Mode' is being developed.

Sound United plans new lineup of products from Denon, HEOS, Marantz, Polk, Definitive Technology and Classé Audio at CEDIA Expo.

The new Marantz NR1509 and NR1609 receivers support Alexa voice control, with the $749 NR1609 also including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-based surround sound.

DTS, a subsidiary of Xperi Corporation, is partnering with Sound United to incorporate DTS Virtual:X into select Denon and Marantz receivers.

Talk about a smart-home rescue mission. This dysfunctional system was completely overhauled and replaced with Savant automation, Lutron lighting control, Sonance and Sunfire speakers, and a Stewart Filmscreen and Dolby Atmos home theater.

Pro-Ject makes a big move into the top spot by more than doubling its numbers, tied with Thorens and followed by Marantz, McIntosh and Denon.
