Just bought a Marantz PM6006, and it it disappointing


My vintage NAD7020 has been acting up, so I decided to get a Marantz PM6006 on sale.  Figured if I decide to upgrade later it could become part of the AV system.   I had no problems hooking up my Linn Axis turntable and ELAC Debut 6.2s.  But when I started playing music, I noticed the music was muddy and high pitched.  I tested on some jazz (Don Shirley “Tonal Expressions”), classical (Villa-Lobos “Bachianas Brasileiras, Nos. 4, 7”), Rock (The Grateful Dead “The Grateful Dead”) and P-Funk (Funkadelic “One Nation Under A Groove”).  The only song that sounded as good as I wanted was Laurie Anderson’s “O, Superman”, with its heavy synthesizer work.  Throughout each selection I noticed pronounced sibilance, and violin and harmonica were actually painful to listen to. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed.

Granted, I am used to vintage (used) electronics, and I very much prefer the warm sound of the NAD.  So, is my ear just attuned to warmer sounds?  Or does the Marantz PM6006 need a burn-In period?

Well, got the Cambridge Audio Topaz SR 20 today and set it up.  Sounds good right out of the box, a lot like my old NAD 7020.  Guess I will keep it and enjoy.  Thanks all!
Thanks for sharing your experience.  
I bought a 5004 8 years ago to replaceca nad 315bee.  Returned it because of the laid back sound with no dynamics.
Ordered the 8004, and toroidal transformer and extra power made all the difference in the world.  
This 8004 has been on 24/7 for the past 8 years and does best with neutral to brighter speakers like ls50s, totem hawk, ub5s.. .i would not marry it with warm speakers.
The SR 20 is really sounding great after about 50 hours.  I am very happy with my decision to return the Marantz PM 6006.  I was concerned about the complaints of build quality, but bought a refurbished unit direct from the company web site at a marked discount.  Maybe their QC is taking a hit, but my refurb unit is working quite well.
