QUOTE(fx20 @ Dec 16 2014, 05:04 PM) Perhaps you can consider mINT, hmm, the price is too high though https://wyred4sound.com/products/integrated-amps/mint to me, they have really good bang of the buck, but most importantly, they sound really really good. I particularly like the small footprint which I can hide it inside the cabinet. |

QUOTE(fx20 @ Dec 17 2014, 11:58 AM) Both are good amps. It all depends on what do you want. hmm, is 50W for stereo? If you streamed digital music, looking for space saver, you go with the mINT. If you have lot of analog source, your go for A19. But the former give you 100w per channel, built-in dac, lot of balanced connectors, and much lower THD. Most importantly, it is direct sale, no excessive mark-up. Of course, this tarnished by weak ringgit today. |

QUOTE(Problem @ Dec 17 2014, 10:28 PM) There's no issue with having extra watts for something that is not so demanding (i.e: bookshelf speakers, efficient speakers, etc). Just gives you more headroom to manage your speakers frequency response without clipping/distortion. hmm, I get what you mean My current amp currently does 75W at 8ohms, and listening it as a near field listening from bookshelves (86db at 6 ohm impedance) Edit: misread your question, the form factor does not exactly dictate how much power it can do. Some small ones can output of power provided the transformers can handle it. |

QUOTE(hushymushy @ Dec 18 2014, 10:22 AM) bro Problem is right How would you categorize Marantz PM6005 if compare to NAD D3020 or NAD stereo integrated series? Warm? Neutral & transparent but with musical feel? And in terms of volume & power control, which amp would you recommend? just for everyone's knowledge sharing Watts does not represent how good the amp will push the speakers neither does higher watts they sound better it is merely an indicator of its power output....and alot of manufacturers tend to provide bad info example of a good amp manufacturer...will provide a measure of the power from 20Hz to 20kHz......why??? that's because at different frequencies, the power output varies.... and the lowest and the highest frequency range requires the most power good manufacturers provide the the average output from 20Hz to 20kHz.... example from Audio Research and Mcintosh: 200watts @ 8ohms minimum power 20Hz-20kHz this is a damn powerful amp for basic listening the next factor is damping factor, which tells you how much the amp can grip the speakers....this is a subjective measurement but generally used by many |

QUOTE(ktek @ Dec 18 2014, 08:33 PM) marantz is not warm (a.k.a. midbass centric), more to voice, realistic and tame down aggresive speakers. So far, I see no complain about Marantz PM6005, also the tone controls are always welcomed as additional feature in case to pair with different speakers with different signature depends la, if u match with laid back speakers, it may sound a bit closer to warm tone nad new model need to ask owner to give listening experience. but i see nad dont have treble bass tone control and speaker A + B function |

QUOTE(hushymushy @ Dec 18 2014, 08:54 PM) marantz sounds more forward compared to NAD....NAD is slightly more layback Actually initially I only intend to buy stereo amplifier, without CD/DAC support, but then it's a good bargain with SPDIF/Optical input from Marantz PM6005 but again...this depends what sort of speakers and cables you pair with.....plus the source if you ask me....i'd say marantz KI signatures anytime......i personally have compared CD6000 vs CD6000 OSE vs CD6000 KI Edition CD6000 KI Edition wins hands down......and that has been a player i used for a very long time until i had the moo for an Audio Research I've not heard the latest marantz.....whether have they improved or retained the same.... but if you don't mind used market......Marantz KI Editions are worth while....even the amps with KI edition...... the tonality, musicality and sound is really balanced, organic and neutral i had that paired with Sonus Fabers Concertino Home.....boy it was awesome |

QUOTE(GI Jie @ Jan 9 2015, 01:07 AM) Marantz paired with Dynaudio speakers. Add in a subwoofer and you"ll have a great setup. I know cos I set up the Marantz PM6005, Marantz CD6005, Dynaudio DM2/7 Speakers and BMB Subwoofer in my study and it can challenge the setup in my sitting room which comprises a Krell S550i, Krell S350a, Krell Phantom III and Sonus Faber Guarneri. No joke. hmm, Dynaudio DM2/7 really good? What's the price? Where can I get it? Also recently I found a speaker brand from Dennmark called System Audio, heard a lot ppl said that it can sound filling the room even the size of bookshelf is small, but then the price is like XXXX This post has been edited by wim1983: Jan 9 2015, 06:37 PM |

QUOTE(BOTAK_WAI @ Jan 15 2015, 09:37 PM) Hmm, tube got a cycle for "mood", lifespan is pretty troublesome for me to maintain, so I still prefer solid state integrated amp, currently using PM6005, the Wharfedale Denton getting better with it |
