nopiano said:Based on other models from the same makers, I'd expect the Marantz to offer a slightly richer sound, but I certainly wouldn't suggest swapping your existing amp for something that is very similar.
BigH said:I would not bother swapping budget amps will not gain you very much, save up for an amp. at a higher level or buy a used one.

Anyway if you really want a really good upgrade I would try and get your hands on a secondhand marantz pm8005 it has a different sound then the 6005 and you would not be disappointed with it I've said to you all a long get your self a much better amp instead of playing around with budget amps even though the marantz pm6005 is a cracking little amp for the money
well maybe this people have just paired the marantz pm8005 with the wrong speakers because the marantz pm8005 sounds good with Dali speakers and not bright because normally your get the bright sounding sound coming from the speaker side of things not the amp its self but what I have heard is some people thing the marantz amps sound laid back but again it comes down to matching the right speakers in the first placegasolin said:Blacksabbath25 said:The marantz pm5005 will sound the same as the marantz pm6005 just that the 5005 will have less power that's all but you had the marantz pm6005 and you said you did not like it ?

You remembered
The PM6005 where a bit to bright and not enough bass with my old speakers
The speakers i have now is more neutral and bass extention is better, with the wireworld luna 7 i needed a more open sounding amp and i didn't want to pay for the dac in the PM6005 since i don't need it, that's why i got the PM5005 with a very clear and open sound (i know i buy alot new stuff)
I have looked at the older pm15 but i think i would go for a newer amp like the Marantz PM8005, i have just heard some people say it has a more bright sound then the PM6005
