Advantages: Great looks, expansive open and detailed Disadvantages: Lacks a little bite, not ideal for loud volumes
...within the budget range and Marantz certainly figures prominently in this group. As with all of these amplifiers, they each seem to provide their own characteristic or sonic signature. In the case of Marantz, I usually consider them to be very open throughout the mid range and delivering a crisp clean bass or "snap" to the music. Therefore it was of a great interest to me to finally hear this particular amplifier which has been so highly praised ... ...a welcome addition to the Marantz comes in the form of a source direct button. This basically allows you to bypass the tone and treble controls and therefore by shortening the signal path, you are in essence doing nothing which could potentially distort the sound. This is clearly something you can experiment with as I recognise that some people like to place a lot of emphasis on bass, but in doing so in my opinion at least, you make significant sacrifices ...
