    Returning Marantz PM50

    Because I can do what I like to my car as its my car and only me who drives it, however a home is different and if you're married then you need to be considerate to those who share it with you, and reach a compromise 👍

    Returning Marantz PM50

    Correct, however not all Amps are created equally, and it also has a built in DSP for tuning 👍

    Returning Marantz PM50

    A few replies to some of the above comments. I'm not a Base Junkie, I actually prefer mids and female vocals, however I also like a nice balanced sound, with good balanced rich fill in the lower frequencies. I have the Wiimpro, however also have a Pioneer N50, the Pioneer seems to provide a...

    Returning Marantz PM50

    For those who may not have viewed my last thread, a quick summary. I have a Marantz PM50 from 1991, it's been a great amp, still sounds great and absolutely faultless. However it doesnt have streaming or a remote. I therefore purchased the WiimPro streamer, and thought I would treat myself to...

    Marantz PM12 Special Edition

    Hi Guys, the PM12SE wasn't far off, but had to use the EQ on the WIIM Pro Plus to knock 4k down to 0.2db, it then started to sound a little more like the PM50. However I still didn't think it was worth keeping when I've already got an Amp that sounds like that and even slightly better than that...

    Marantz PM12 Special Edition

    Many Thanks both, very kind of you. I haven't quite given up yet, as I would ideally like an Amp with remote control. The WIIM Pro Plus has really been great, providing me with my music without needing to set up my laptop each time I want to listen to my music. I may see if I can get hold of...

    Marantz PM12 Special Edition

    Im certainly no Audiophile and the below are just my thoughts and feelings. As some of you may have read from my previous thread asking for advice on upgrading my Marantz PM50 Amp from 1991, I decided to take a gamble and purchased the Marantz PM12 Special Edition which is a Class D Amplifier...

    Shall I Upgrade?

    Hi Guys, just an update, I went to demo an amp yesterday, a Roxan Anthessa..... The shop didn't have the MA Silver 500s, but had what they said were similar priced (a little more at 3k) Linn? Floorstanders. They left me in the sound room to my own, and I listened to various tunes that I'm...

    Shall I Upgrade?

    Hi I've been watching you tube reviews of the Model 30 and 40 this evening. The 40 is apparently the better sounding Amp, however it's still only 70WPC (the same as my existing Marantz PM50 from 1991), and I'm hung up on two things as below. 1. I can't get out if my head that Minitor Audio...

    Shall I Upgrade?

    Correct no intention of replacing any interconnects. Although I've been thinking this afternoon, even though my main requirement is to add streaming capabilities to my system, ive been thinking regarding also upgrading the Pioneer N50 DAC? As it's from 2012, and it is ultimately this that is...
