| Mid grade Integrated amp choices I would also look at the Marantz PM-11s3. Mine has been nothing short of amazing since I’ve first listened to it! I pushes, no bullies my set of 4 ohm speakers with authority yet musicality I am still impressed with every time I listen to music!It... | |
| Class D = Trash? Interesting read this thread has been! Just thinking out-loud.... I bought my Marantz PM-11s3 a year ago and listened to many class D amps including NAD, Devialet and others in its price range and to me there was no comparison! The PM-11s3 was a m... | |
| Integrated amp upgrade I think that you might be very surprised and happy listening to a Marantz PM-11S3... The Reference Marantz Integrated is very detailed, incredibly fast, yet is NOT cold! It has serious power that easily surpasses its rating and can power most any ... | |
| Marantz and Stereophile? sjtm, Sorry I just now saw that you posted a follow up that I had requested. Sorry I didn't see it sooner!I can see that your experience with the PM11s3 is close to the same as mine! Like you I cannot see myself replacing the PM-11s3 anytime soon ... | |
| Integrated Amp Suggestions for Dynaudio Contour 3.4LE I would recommend listening to the Marantz PM-11S3 if you can find one before they are all gone. Very conservatively rated, in you price range, and can drive Dynaudios effortlessly while giving that sweet Marantz sound. I did a lot of A/Bing betwe... | |
| Marantz and Stereophile? Congrats sjtm! Its quite a monster compared to the smaller PMs isn’t it! Please give us your thoughts, I’d like to see if your experience in upgrading to the PM-11s3 is the same as mine when I upgraded from the PM-8004...Oh, and I never sold the P... | |

| Marantz and Stereophile? @erik_squires Erik I was never mad at Stereophile and the only agenda that I might have, is in appreciation of a fine component...But I will say this and you are right about it! I was being lazy in my search, wanting others to justify my opinion. ... | |
| Marantz and Stereophile? sjtm, As I said before if you do end up with a PM-14s1 I'd bet that you will hear a difference and be pleased with it...On the other hand if you do wait for a PM-11s3 as you stated I wanted to give you my opinion on some of its traits vs the PM-80... | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass I would audition the Monitor Audio line again if I were you... I’ve had Paradigm for 20+ years and now have Monitors and think the sound you are looking for describes them very well... I can tell you for a fact that the Monitor Silver 8s are much ... | |
| Marantz and Stereophile? sjtm,I can't speak of the differences between a PM-8005 and a PM-14s1 but I am sure the PM-14 is a better unit... Having said that, the PM-8004 I had was an outstanding little Integrated. It was so good that I have yet to let go of it because of h... | |
| Albums you can listen too all the way through and it's all good Pink Floyd - The Wall & Wish you were hereFleetwood Mac - RumoursJust to name a few | |
| Marantz and Stereophile? Which is why Nonoise it would have been nice to see these nice pieces from Marantz (PM-15S2b, PM-11S3, and the M-9s) get their day in the sun and some well deserved write ups by the likes of Stereophile... After owning the PM-11 now I’m over that ... |
