My 2.5 year old Marantz PM6004 is dead....well needs a new microprocessor board at £150.
Despite the issue first arising 8 months after purchase (and fixed at that point), marantz will not help with the cost of this fix, which I find disappointing. (Although a strong letter is headed their way!)
So, with £200 to spend, and an 'anti Marantz' feel, what replacement amplifiers would be worth considering?
I did think the Pioneer A30 looked good, with 40 watts rms and a power amp direct feature (use stereo amp to drive front speakers in AV), after being so impressed with their SC2023 that I purchased recently.
Any thoughts?
