Marantz PM8003

The new integrated amplifier from Marantz’s flagship ‘Range’ series encompasses the finest engineering for the best sound quality. Every aspect of the design and construction of the PM8003 has been thoroughly investigated and tested for superb performance. Marantz experts have reshaped the PM8003’s power handling characteristics, delivering a new circuitry topology powered by a large, bespoke toroidal transformer. This low impedance, wide-bandwidth power supply ensures a massive reserve of energy, to drive even difficult speakers with ease. And, as vinyl is back, a moving magnet phono stage is also supported – of course in current feedback technology. Enjoy the exclusivity of this unsurpassed integrated amplifier. The PM8003 harnesses audiophile-grade customised components and the new HDAMs (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules) preserve the music’s dynamic structure, tonal quality and stereo image. Delivering a combined power output of over 200 watts, this two-stage construction, current feedback amplifier features symmetrical circuit topology for the perfect stereo image balancing. The copper-plated chassis and rear-panel reduce signal-degrading electromagnetic interference and offers the lowest impedance grounding to every section of the amp. An additional heavy bottom plate reduces sound-degrading vibration.
