Fair enough. Yes, I'm actually not interested in something similar. Don't get me wrong, I do like the sound of the PM6006, it's just those two, the "ompf" and the bass control, that I'm missing a bit. Maybe some cleaner dynamics.

Well, perhaps, but if I'm stepping up, above the ~1000EUR threshold, then the Marantz PM8006 also comes into play. I'm trying to not extend my budget too high. Hehe.

Hehe, if I had the money, I'd probably directly go for the Exposure 2510. But that's almost twice the price of the MF... (17995SEK)

The Rega is the more expensive one. Electrocompaniet is too expensive and Primare only makes Class-D amps. I like the warmth and feel of the Class A-B amps. Also, I'm looking for a "Purist" amp, so no Digital connectors / DACs and the likes of those.

Ok, thank you, that might be a fair comparison.

A bit of "ompf" and power. (2x45w) Also, I've heard both the Rega and MF have really tight bass control.

Well, as a Swedish resident, I'd probably have to pay some high import taxes... 😳 (In Sweden, they are 10990SEK ~£926 and 9990SEK ~£842 respectively)

Hello Forum! Quick question, no elaborate answer needed. Running a Network Streamer and really easily driven 8ohm speakers. Which amp to get of these two? Thanks!

Thanks! Really concrete answer. But, I just noticed that there's another contender. I stumbled into the REGA Elex-R which is actually avaliable for audition in a not-so-far-away store. Might this be of consideration also? Many thanks to you!

Hehe, it's a bit too expensive here in Sweden it seems, also it's a tube amplifier, haven't really come to prefer those over regular class A/B soundwise... Thanks anyway!

It's actually not too warm, but I get the feeling of introducing a "cooler" amp will benefit the overall listening pleasure. I'm looking to have a bit fuller sound when playing on low volumes and also some tighter bass when listening at higher volumes 'cause the BR03s are quite bass heavy for...

Well, yeah, that is kinda the issue with living in a small town... Plus the pandemic means no one carries things in stock/hard to come by... Thanks anyway! ;)

I know it's a few years old, but recently discovered Perdoname by Deorro. Really catchy and gets your hips moving. It's probably on all major streaming services. (I use Spotify ftm) Cheers!

Hello Forum! I'm having a difficult time choosing between the Marantz PM8006 (~$1500) and the Audiolab 8300a (~$1700)to replace my Marantz PM6006. I've got the Marantz NA6006 Network Streamer as the companion to my PM6006 which I am very impressed by. Speakers are the Triangle BOREA BR03...

This is an interesting thread, although It seems to be "sorted" already, I'm also in the exact same position, choosing between the PM8006 and the 8300a to replace my PM6006. I do, however, have the NA6006 as the companion. Speakers are the Triangle BOREA BR03, which are very warm in sound with...
