Marantz PM 4000

I bought my Marantz PM4000 together with a tuner and a CD player about eighteen months ago, as a newcomer to the world of hi-fi separates. The unit was recommended as a best buy in its price category by "What Hi-fi?" magazine, so I took the word for it and bought one. I bought my separates from Richer Sounds, where I found the service to be friendly but rather slow. However Richer Sounds' main appeal is the price, and I would recommend them for this reason alone. I have little to compare this product with, but the build quality appears to be excellent, and the sound quality flatters any input source. I have a Marantz ...

I?ve had this amp for nearly two years now and it has been great. Its seen many new components and it seems to work well with them all. It has all the facilities you could ever want including a remote control, 6 inputs, 2 tape loops, separate record selector and not to mention a great phono stage. The facia looks a bit busy with a lot of knobs and buttons but don?t let the looks but you off. The sound quality in my opinion is great for a budget amp. I often get audiophile sound quality from it with good quality recordings. It works very well with my Sony CDP-XE530 CD player. It also draws attention to the vocals but at the same time captures every detail in true Marantz ...

My trusty Marantz PM32 died after many years of service and I had to look round for a replacement. Having asked in the shop for an amp with 5 inputs, a phono input and preferably a remote control, I was showed the Marantz. One thing struck me, the price, It seemed to be extremely good value. I bought it. Sound quality is good, the amp itself is packed with more features than I'd believe possible for the price. Build quality is good though the speaker connections do seem a little cheap - not as sturdy as the PM32 though you do get 4 of them for having an additional pair of speakers in the other room. An excellent buy at the price! ...
