It’s not only a great beginner amp, it’s a great exit amp to settle with for many years..

Nice one

I have never had an amp die from dust but I did fry one using a shop vac once. Do not touch anything to anything inside that amp. If you do remove dust blow it out with a can of duster and do not touch anything inside the amp.

ONKYO A-9110

After a few weeks this amp started sounding like I like, good amp now for me

Umm, call me crazy, but NOT burning incense directly behind the amp seems like the best way to stop your 'dust' issue. Sheesh 😂.

You need hifi furniture shelves to protect it from dust. I have a marantz too but all in one melody X. And it's powerful enough for my bedroom. I don't need to turn up volume either and I still get room filling sound.

I've got the 6003.. I think Marantz make fantastic amps, I'm using Tannoy precision 8p and the sound is dynamite 👍

Nice setup with the Kallax shelf. Simple but elegant. The model 3 is in transit and can’t wait.

Can we connect 160watt 3way speaker to this amp?

What this vide about 😂

Bought this amp,and cd player ( cd6007 ),paired with Wharfdale diamond 12.3 ,floorstanders ..sounds really nice ,and warm ...maybe the people ,who don't have a great opinion..should match it with some really good speakers ?

Reservoir capacitors are Elna for audio 12000uf 63v, that's dead impressive nothing to upgrade.

I too own this amp and I like it very much

Dont suggest yourself on "award winning amp" to buy this amp like I did fs. Ask for demo before buying coz could be not in your taste.

I just bought this amp. Its playing maybe about 3hours and I don't like it yet. I was using old Sony stereo amp on MOSFETs and 2 x 50wpc and sounds much warmer for me and has much more bass and even sound stage was bigger, dipper. This Marantz has very clear sound maybe even to clear for my ears anyway. The bass its not too deep - at first few seconds I thought that bass is still in the cardboard box lol, quite a lot high frequency , treble and could be too much for someone. Marantz build quality is very good, well built and really nice looking amp for this money. I have wharfedale 230 connected to this amp and all together is bit too bright where with Sony was perfect. I connected subwoofer Gale 10inch 100watt rms to get more bass. I hope its become more warmer after breaking in/few weeks this amp . If You want to buy it I advise to get demo before buying.

Yeah 16 lbs and 45 watts What a beats 😅

It's a lovely looking machine. I already have a Rotel A11 Tribute but when I saw this come on offer in silver, I had to pull the trigger. Can't wait to see how they compare powering some Focal 926's

You should use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment. Preferably a small vacuum specifically for these purposes. Picks up dust from irregular surfaces nicely.

What speakers do you use?

I’m recently purchased PM6007 to replace Yamaha AS501 because of spare part unavailable. To my surprise PM6007 sound like from much higher league. When I tested with Bon Jovi Live at Madison Square Garden blu ray (many reviewers complained that audio sound decent or bad including me). I can literally hear clearly individual instruments with my normal average volume. The details, atmosphere and soundstage literally blow my mind. In fact I was testing 3 days continuously just to make sure before I posted. In fact my wife now like to join me for Blu-ray movies that beforehand she have less interest. My system consists of: LG 48C2 Oled TV, Reavon UBR-X100 4K blu ray player, Marantz PM6007 amp, Mission 780S speakers (1994 model still going strong)with bi wire, Paradigm PDR100 subwoofer and connectivity are Audioquest, Chord Company and QED. I’m smiling everyday 😊

New subscriber.......... on the back of the cap!!! Go Birds!!! (Eagles fan from the UK)

What is the length of the power cord?

No. Its a great amp full stop. Anything more will be money down the drain. I started off with Marantz 30 years ago after several changes I am back to the Marantz that wins top reviews. As age increases your hearing decreases that's a fact of life, your throwing money away after your mid life. Go for a hearing check regular you will be shocked. I like it when all these hifi tekkies get professional & don't take into account everyone has different hearing, yet they say buy this or that, half of them haven't lived yet. What I can say although partially deaf in one ear & scarred ears in the other audition for the best detail you can get out of an amp then position your speakers to suit the best experience toeing & tilting, I call myself the deaf audiophile. I will end with my best system for me its the Marantz pm6007 amp & the cd6007 with a rega planar 3 2021 model with B & W 607s2 silver anniversaries they are bright & clear for my hearing. I use a nobsound amp in the bedroom & my old q acoustics 3020i's speakers, bluetoothed from a samsung s22 ultra which is attatched to a 500gb hard drive with 800 flac albums on, good enough & fun as a second cheapo when the wife's watching TV in the lounge. Question, why is it no hifi expert on youtube, shops or in magazines ever questions the fact we all have different hearing ranges & levels yet makes recommendations. 🤔

Update on my amp set up I've now included a rel 1003 subwoofer and when balanced correctly it sounds fantastic. It's very important to balance the sub with your existing speakers. The idea is not to have a sound which is boomy and thumpy. I'm very pleased I included a subwoofer

i liked this tip

I understand about the dust problem I keep a towel over my phono and reciever when not in use not pretty but keeps the dirt out.

Congratulations! This year I also purchased a Marantz PM8006 and am very happy with it✌🏼

This is scary, ee got the exact same system. Marantz pm6006, at LP 140xp, and JBL 305 as studio monitor. My speakers are a pair of Triangle br03.

If dust encroaching is a problem, I suggest using a small hand held vacuum cleaner. I also use the 6007 amp, but mine is inside an open fronted unit , so dust isn't so much of a problem. By the way the amp sounds superb. Punches way above its price tag. Also,loads of inputs .

I have one and it's brilliant. As always you have to take price into consideration and at £500 it is exceptional in my opinion. I think you have to go at least twice the money before you start to hear an improvement on sound in my opinion. I use it with the marantz CD 6007 and a pair of tannoy dc6t revolution speakers. I use high quality RCA cables and it sounds great with all types of music especially folk and classical. Like all amplifiers it sounds better when it's warmed up. Good value, Good sound as long as the other equipment used with it is of good quality as anyone into hifi will tell you.

I do possess these & a rega p3 for vinyl. Nothing should obstruct the units by placing items on them, thats a no, no when playing, as for adjusting bass/ treble I don't know why they have them they are finely tuned machines & your not playing back as the artist intended. Dust can mostly be solve by putting in a rack system allowing about 3 inches gap, you will still get dust but not as much, you can cover the vents with some material when not in use. At least you have good taste in brands, not my type of music as I am more soul but with the odd bit of Queen & bit of other laid back styles. Nice room you got.

I like to use a vacuum cleaner brush on my amp. All amps need the ventilation to keep things cool inside while operatting, especially output stage and power board. A little dust won't affect it, but if you feel there is too much, you can UNPLUG it, remove the cover screws and cover, and use Blow Off to blow out any dust. A mini vac with brush is fine, too, as long as you are careful to contact the boards and parts ONLY with the brush. I have refurbished quite a few Seventies amps and receivers, and these methods work well for me. Mostly, just take care not to scrape traces on boards or bend any parts that stand off the boards. Also, careful never to touch the Big Filter caps (or the leads connecting them to the board) on any amp as they store power for a while even with amp unplugged.

Glad you like it! Don't worry for the dust! I have multiple audio devices and one of them (high power audio amplifier) was in a night club for 2 years every weekend playing strong with 2 internal fans blowing air and dust everywhere inside it and never had a problem with it. Water on the other side...

Congratulations man, very good amp. Nice quality materials, good detailed and warm sound. And as you said earlier, if it work for you and your satisfied, than that's what matters the most. Undoubtedly that is a good amp, not the best but definitely not bad. Happy holidays!

Dust collect easily on every amp period..

Anybody know the name of this joint?

Great amp 👍🏼

Great neat unboxing and impressions, this is sure a great budget amplifier great choice, I’m contemplating between Marantz pm6007 vs Audiolab 6000A 😅, I just ordered my wharfedale diamond 12.2 at the moment I only have a receiver. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying your time with it🙂👍🏻

I'm glad this amp worked out for you. I wanted it to for me but I noticed myn couldn't deal with higher volume after 10 (volume control) and overheated pretty quick. I also had a hum from the drivers of the speakers just after 9 and got louder with raising volume. Maybe I got a bad one but I was pretty dissipointed. Lucky I noticed early enough for an exchange.

Thanks for the video. It's good to hear a review from someone with sound constraints. I live in a London conversion flat, so listen to headphones mostly. But prefer amp and speakers.

No, it's not... It's an amp made by a cooperation to cater to people who are not technically minded with little or no electrical knowledge. I have an amplifier made in 1978, SPORTING BETTER SPECIFICATIONS than this $HIT amp, and well the build quality of this aforementioned amp speaks for itself, it still works great. BTW there's no such thing as breaking in an amplifier, if you look on the datasheet of an electrical component such as a electrolytic capacitor most notable example, you will see they have a finite lifetime.

So basically this amp is great, if you have nothing to compare it to... THD, IMD, SINAD, DF, weight (build quality), class a/ab/h/g/d; none of that matters as long as you have a certain name on the amp, or it is "newer" that makes it better.

thanks for the follow-up video. i’m considering the marantz pm6007 for vinyl and cd playback in a small room also, and if dust is your main gripe with it, that’s not a bad thing because it has nothing to do with sound quality or anything like that. i can easily cover the unit (when not in use) and keep some microfiber cleaning cloths nearby to wipe it clean. only thing holding me back from getting this is that the marantz pm7000n looks interesting, too. choices.

Would love to see your update video on this. Even if it's a short and simple one. :)

Can you mount the controls on the left, instead of the right if you want to?

how is the quality of the surface? does it scratch up easily

😂 pr໐๓໐Ş๓

Keep it

I`ve got one in silver.Blue tooth is only handy when you are driving in your car imo.Ok its also handy listening at home but i like more tradition when i sit at home listening to music.I`m another vinyl collector like i was in the day when it was only vinyl or cassette and i`m considering buying on vinyl everything i`ve bought on CD and playing it all through my Marantz
