Marantz. I have owned several - PM-5005, Pm-7005, PM-8005 and now have PM-11S3 in two seperate systems. In between tried Hegel, Parasound and an older McIntosh. I find the “Marantz sound” fairly neutral rather than warm ( especially compared to Hegel). These are built to a very high standard and, I expect would get more respect but for some anti Marantz brand snobbery.
marantz pm8006 vs peahtree nova 150.
Which of these 2 amps would you recommend ? To be connected to Tannoy xt6f's. Currently
driven by a Harmon Kardon 3490 stereo receiver that must go. It was given to me witch was cool .
But now I see why. Anything else in the $1200 to $1500 range would be fine. Thanks much.

I would look into some Rega analog integrated amps. All Rega integrateds are analog no DAC class AB amp design. Sounded fantastic very refined smooth very musical tend to be on a warm side of neutral but it isn't like tubey warm, no, nothing like that. Rega integrated amps range in prices from around $1500 to $10k. If you can swing $3k I highly recommend the Rega Elicit-R integrated retails for $3k new unless if you can find a used for probably around $2k and less. |
This may work? Rogue Audio Sphinx V2 Integrated Amplifier, if you don't mind used versions you can swing some excellent integrated amps that may not have all bells and whistles but can be sonically better performing. Well your Tannoy xt6f is around 88 dB/1 W/1 M ? |
