Marantz PM5005 is too tempting for entry level, I want user's opinion is it class A OR AB not claimed although 300watt power consumption.listening test & measurements.
Well we all started somewhere but this is the very lowest rung of mass market consumer gear. Save up some more money until you can buy something worth keeping.
I would hold out for the PM8006. Much better build quality and power, made in the Japanese Marantz Reference factory. You could look for a 8005 version used and it should be fine if well cared for. Used to be able to get them occasionally from accessories4less.com for a good price.
