EVOL! Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Anyone else a big Marantz fan? I admit to only owning an SR4023 receiver, but I have my eye on a PM5004 integrated amp for my in listening room/mixing station. I love the clean, non cluttered look and sound of these. Call me old fashioned, but I have never been a fan of surround sound or subwoofers. Just give me straight up L/R stereo and a nice pair of speakers.

zigzag Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I've always loved Marantz receivers/amps. They have always been considered top of the line, although it was reported there was a drop in quality for a short time after manufacturing started in Japan back in the '60s and early '70s.

brundaddy Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 My first system was an early 80's Marantz receiver with sweet backlit needle meters with a colossal pair of boutique Savard speakers (15" woofer, 10" midrange driver, 4" tweeter, and a horn, and ported). That system would shiver the fuggin timbers matey! Wish I still had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveinspain Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 My very first equipment purchase I made in my life was a Marantz 2250 tuner receiver. I was still in high school. I didn't have any speakers so I got a couple car stereo speaker I had laying around so I could listen to it until I could buy speakers for it... I was so proud of that amp. I still have it....
