Review 1 of 1

Price Paid:  $4150.00 from Listening Room

Summary:
I listened several times to this new product by Marantz and compared it to my main theater at home with my Anthem D2...The audio quality was brilliant and awesome to behold...at his this moderate price for a Processor and 8 channel Amplifier I had to bring it home for my other main room...
It doesn't have all the Bells and Whistles like my Anthem D2,..but audio quality is the same....with all the dynamics of much more expensive equipment thanks to an excellent signal to ratio ratio and extended frequency response...and the equipment is beautiful...now I have two great theaters with really great equipment worth every cent....
I really never paid alot of attention to Marantz in the past,..but now they have my full Attention....Now for a moderate price you can have absolutely professional sounding Home Theater in any room....but for Pete's sake do not use any Bose speakers in your theater or stereo...you'll just downgrade your equipment to last place....and insult your credibility...

Strengths:
Great dynamics and micro-dynamics...quality sound that rivals much more expensive equipment...beautiful build....moderate price for professional sounding equipment...great signal to noise ratio....

Weaknesses:
May lack some bells and whistles for the most savvy technical person...

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
