MARANTZ NEW REFERENCE 10 SERIES


Hi guys, I have been always curious about Marantz reference series but i had never had the chance to try it.
I came across today of this new series coming out in January. A friend of mine that went to Munich told me that they were amazing sounding units together. Only black finish in the US.

I have the feeling that this combo will be in the must have this coming year for many of us!
Kind regards and happy new year.

geared4me, What amp are you using with the SC-7S2?  I think that pre is really good and I do not intend to ever sell mine.  If you could find the MA9S2 mono blocks I would think that would be the way to go.  However, I will receive the PM-10 this weekend and look forward to hearing how it sounds on my JBL 4365 speakers.
I heard a Marantz PM-10 a couple of weeks ago.  Thought it sounded incredible.

Powerful, clear, realistic & none of the Class D affectations that forced me to sell my Devialet 250 Pro.

I’d like to hear more before diving in, but on that listening I’d say it’s in another league to the Devialet.

I want one!
Anyone had the opportunity to compare with the previous reference series, that are Class AB designs?
Especially with the PM-11S1 and SM-11S1, that are separates power amplifier and preamp.
