Anyone here who has tried a Marantz Pearl KI limited edition? I have seen one on sale for around £1100 and quite tempted - though I am fairly happy with my recently acquired 7200, I suspect the Pearl will be in a different category.
Anyone especially who has listened to both the Pearl KI and the 7200 and can comment on similarities and differences? I really quite like the warm sound of the 7200 and would be interested to know whether the Pearl is “more of the same” - as in a better amp but with a similar sound signature, or how it would compare. Especially as someone on another thread mentioned the reference Marantz being more neutral and analytical.
Asked the seller for a demo but not quite managed to agree a time - as it’s an hour and a half and, if it is indeed analytical/neutral, I might save myself the hassle.
