The audible differences between 6005, 6006 and 6007 are minimal.

The 6007 is a great amp! I have been pleasantly entertained with this amps performance. I have gone through a few Denons, ChiFi Class D, Rotel, Pre amps and Power Amps and even previous Marantz to this model and again the 6007 has a great sound. For me it’s a very easy amp to settle on. I also, as many others have found, think it has a nicely balanced sound so I don’t find myself getting sick of any particular frequency ahead of any other. I find it a very ‘set and forget’ amp which just makes living a little more easy in getting on with the day. Looks very classy in silver and again does not let me down as soon as it opens its mouth, if you get my drift. Currently the 6007 can be had for £299 December 2023 here in the UK and that really is a bargain!

I really like your reviews! Very frank and to the point.

Ive watched a few of your vidz and really enjoyed your input. No punt intended 😂. Anyway ive ordered that amp and a marantz tuner too. Keep up with the vidz m8. 👍

Current feedback design and you can hear this - run same gears but bigger as well, home made. Would buy it immediately no hesitation for THAT price! Grab one!

bought this a year ago to replace my preowned denon 600NE that conked out on me. Used it to drive some qacoustics 2020i bookshelf speakers that i'd had for about 7 years in my new house that worked fine, but i wanted some floor speakers that'd work/look better with the room. Have a pair of klipsch 6000F running from the marantz now and it sounds amazing. Good review, nice to hear another taff.

Great review. This is one high on my list to replace an old Denon PMA 350SE that I've had for ages. I'm certainly looking for something with good deep bass as the Denon is a bit lacking in that department - possibly due to age methinks (although it is supposed to be putting-out 60-70 WPC). I'll be running it through Mordant Short MS35ti's which I'm hoping will come to life far more with the Marantz. Watch this space!

I also just coincidentally got this amp and the Dali Oberon 5 before finding your channel and absolutely loving it so far and they're not even broken in yet. Anyway, what is your opinion on source direct mode? I leave my tone adjustments in the neutral position so would it be more beneficial to me to engage this? Many thanks, I have enjoyed watching your content.

@UTILITARIANTVUK

Жыл бұрын

I've tried it with source direct but like you, I tend to keep the tone controls on neutral and source direct off. Not all music is recorded the same, so if a track needs a bit more (or less) bass, I can use my tone controls.

If you don't mind, i've got a question. So, i already have speakers and a receiver. And i'm also thinking about buying a stereo amplifier. But i would like to keep my receiver as a sort of central hub, to connect my game consoles, PC, etc. I know i need to run RCA cables from the pre-outs on my receiver to my (yet to buy) stereo amplifier. But what ports should i put those cable in, on the amplifier? Perhaps the ones under "Tuner", in the "Audio In" section?

I really enjoyed your review. The topic of of AVR vs stereo integrated amp has is hotter than ever. Of course a dedicated 2 channel sounds better! The amplifier section is dedicated to just the two channels. Then, your Marantz has a bigger transformer and it is a toroidal transformer vs. the lower quality iron core transformer, bigger power capacitors, bigger heat sink, better everything. Many get scared away from the lower power ratings Vs the false 120 x 7 channels ratings of the surround receivers. I’m glad you did the sound comparison and agree with the rest of us audio nerds. Not all watts are the same. I went from a 120 watts Denon home theater receiver to a Marantz PM7000N and the difference is night sub day. Good job buddy!!!’

Both are great systems. Another great reason for going with your Marantz is that it is 4 ohm stable where your former Yamaha is not. Your speakers are rated at 8 ohms but repeatedly stop below 4. They will damage the Yamaha eventually, especially if you drive them loudly.

just found your channel, very entertaining and informative! I have the oberon 5's and am weighing up different amp upgrade options. Do you find the marantz drives the speakers effortlessly or do you ever find it to be lacking?

Have you considered that you problem with the bass and dancing sub may be related to having large floorstanding speakers connected to a powerful amplifier in a small cornered space?

In my room for example 6 inch bookshelf monitors paired with 8 inch active subwoofer experimentally achieved requiments by sticking with 40 Hz on low pass filter knob and phasing 90 degree on the sub with minimum volume up to be nicely blended together (15 square m room + amp without tone controls) Don't know how effectively low can your Diamonds go down in your room but first I would try to look at the sub just as an extention only mainly focusin on the room settings and leaving the Amp alone for now...

@Panslapper

It will be a subjective choice. I owned the A11 and have the 6007. The A11 is a very nicely built amp, the sound is also well balanced like the 6007. The 6007 has the edge in actual width of sound soundstage. It fills the room, it’s clear and just a very nicely judged sound. The A11 is well detailed but remains a more centrally focused amp meaning most of the sound remains between the speakers which is something I noticed immediately after replacing a Denon PMA600ne with it. The Rotel is not a room filler either like the 6007. The Rotel stays quite close to the speakers from memory which was not my cup of tea but what is there is very, very nice. The 6007 pushes into your room and with a good spacious sound. It also drives my speakers better than the A11 did. I found the A11 Tribute lacked power. It’s more powerful in paper but in real life it is a very quiet amp even at 50wpc. It goes to 96 volume and playing in a 5m x 5m room I found decent listening levels at 65-70 volume which is fine but then Rotel do not recommend running the A11 at that volume for long periods and it still really wasn’t particularly loud. The 6007 provides a lot more power and on paper is 5 watts less per channel than the Rotel. I would have kept the Rotel if the power was there like the Marantz is but it was not so it had to go. It was driving a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 200 which have a 88db sensitivity. Maybe if you have a speaker with a higher db sensitivity you would be ok, something around 90-92db. IMO the Marantz is the better value, the internal dac is decent, far better than the Iotavx SA3. Bluetooth is not included 6007 but for me personally, I am glad it isn’t.

Now in theory the Rotels can drive them, but your feedback on soundstage depth and width is certainly eye opening.

i am marantz pm6003

Lack of bass, great DAC, nice look, good quality, very clear sound maybe too clear, could be too bright sounding for someone, ask for demo before buying my advice

Today finally new speaker cables arrived and it's just woow, what a difference. I would like to say sorry to Marantz pm6007 for my opinion before. After connecting Qed XT25 to the speakers+amp it's day and night, they sounding like never before, bass is back 👌🔥💪

Melhor em quê? O Roksan Cspian M2 é muiiiiitoooo melhor que qualquer Marantz!

I should think so at 5 times the price of the pm6007! 😂

Sadly Marantz rise the price for $200 more in USA.

Most things tend to be cheaper in the US than in Europe except Marantz? It's odd!

plastic sides look cheap like 2000 models more

This is quiete a really bad speaker placement 😂 maybe you could place your right speaker closer to the wall 😂 sorry for that… but this is by no means a place to enjoy music.

They were rear ported, too close to the wall was worse unfortunately.

Noisy

Noisy?? No, only the 6005 and 6006 has a noisy DAC.

What Alberto said.

It is 2022, a flagship amplifier with only 45 watts into a 8 ohm load, sporting specs that were acheived by other manufacturers more than 30 years ago. So basically this is a shit amp marketed to dumba$$ "audiophiles" willing to buy it because of the name.

Dumbass I may be but how dare you call me an audiophile! Also, it's not really a flagship, it's more of a decent canoe. Their flag ship cost 8k more!
