Reviews for this Marantz amplifier (1 expert review (rating 80 / 100) • 1 user review.): "is The Man, and I wouldn't have been allowed to review the new flagship pairing, the SC-7S1 Stereo Preamplifier and MA-9S1 Monoblock Power Amplifiers, if the system didn't pass his scrutiny...All-balanced, solid-state, funky new meters, useable with multi-channel set-ups - about all you can say regarding the lineage is that the SC-7S1/MA-9S1 combo is stereo and champagne-coloured, with blue lights a'winking...Externally, both are disarmingly minimalist, despite being jam-packed with mouth-watering audiophile-grade componentry and complex circuits...To pass muster with Marantz, I used the system with components familiar to Ken Ishiwata and Marantz's Neil Gill, who also joined in for my SATs (Subjective Audio Trial..."

Reviews for this Marantz amplifier (2 expert reviews (rating 100 / 100) ): "An effortless performer that has impressive resolution and class-leading composure; excellent build; understated styling...Big, heavy, and runs hot...The Marantz MA-9S2 combo is understated in appearance, undeniably luxurious in feel, while at the same time massaging high-end egos by weighing in at 37kg per box...As you'd expect from the output figure, it'll go loud with just about any speaker you care to mention...We'd go so far as to say it's one of the very..."

Reviews for this Marantz amplifier (1 user review.): "From its sculptured front panel to its high quality binding-post loudspeaker terminals, the MM7055 five channel power amplifier brings Marantz sound quality to virtually any music or home theater system...For example, the MM7055 is ideal for a 5.1 home theater system...For more complex home theater systems, the MM7055 pairs with one or several MM7025s to help create a totally immersive 7.1 or 9.1 audio experience...The MM7055 produces 140 watts of high current output from each of its five channels...And chassis depth is less than 14-1/2 (without connectors) so the MM7055 will fit quite nicely on a shelf, in a cabinet, or in a conventional system rack with an optional rack mount kit..."

Reviews for this Marantz amplifier (2 expert reviews (rating 65 / 100) • 4 user reviews): "• The PM5003's 36 watts per channel power output is probably not enough for users with larger/inefficient...The PM5003 has an understated, minimalist design that is both attractive and functional, with a brushed aluminum/reinforced resin front panel accented by curved "wings" on either side...The PM5003 measures 17-5/16 inches wide by 4-1/8 inches high by 14-9/16 inches deep and weighs 14.8 pounds...The PM5003's sound is smooth and free of any sonic grunge..."

Reviews for this Marantz amplifier (1 expert review (rating 80 / 100) • 17 user reviews): "An understated performance that puts the music first...Doesn't quite deliver the value on the price tag...With the basic PM7001 (£350) firmly established as one of the key amps to beat below £500, the KI version has quite some reputation to live up to...The main circuit elements, however, are standard PM7001 fare, with electronic input switching, good but not outstanding op-amps and a good quality motorised volume control...We listened carefully to dynamic..."

Reviews for this Marantz amplifier (6 user reviews): "This time, it's a Marantz—the Reference Series SA-1, described as a no-compromise "ultimate-quality" player...The SA-1 weighs in at a hefty 40 lbs, with a rich, satiny champagne finish...The SA-1's display is easy to read from a distance, and bright red LEDs set below the track info indicate SACD or CD mode...SACD uses Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology at a sampling rate of 2.8224MHz to deliver a theoretical frequency response of DC to more than 100kHz, with greater than 120dB of dynamic range..."
