Don't you worry too much brother, if not enough juice to power your speaker you can always buy power amp later. or you can go pre and power amp way but you have to add more moolah.

I see what you did there with the joke.

It worries me a bit as a lot of people says the PM6005 is not powerful enough for floor standing speaker. Well I feel better. So not worth the risk and hassle after all.

I don't know where I read this but I find this funny too.
Floor standing speakers is like Toyota Camry.
Pair with PM6005 is like 1.8 litre engine for Camry, can drive but might feel insufficient when need that power.
And PM8005 is like 2.5 engine.

Hey guys, I'm currently looking for an amp now.

The PM7005 and PM8005 are on sale here in UK for RM2700 and RM3500 respectively (and superfi is an authorised reseller), just wanna ask is it worth the risk to buy it now and bring it back to Malaysia in 2 months time. And as I have no passive speakers here I can't test it at all, so it's just gonna sit here and if it's lemon unit then ggwp sayonara. Never purchased an amp like this before so I'm not quite sure if I should pay extra attention to this, although I've never used a single warranty on any electronics before.

Intend to pair it with ELAC B6 (plan to purchase in Malaysia as they are too heavy to carry back), and similar price can only get me PM6005 / 6006 in Malaysia, which many say is relatively weak to drive the power hungry B6.

Well just looking for opinions..

Skip the PM6005, just get the PM8005 and you'll be happy..😊

Even if I were to push my budget up to be able to purchase PM8005 in Malaysia, the idea of pairing a 6k+ amp to a 2k- speaker bothers me    Somehow I feel looking for a more expensive and efficient speaker to pair with a cheaper amp is more sensible to do. i.e. 4k amp 4k speaker.

Sound like engineer mindset...   

I'm in accounting though 

But it seems the 50:50 amp speaker spending doesn't rly holds in practice. more like 66% amp 33% speaker based on what I've read so far.

Back to the UK8005 vs MY6005 dilemma.

If only money is not a problem 
Buying a PM8005 in UK vs buying a PM6005 in Malaysia
Every time when I almost pull the trigger, the service and repair issue came to my mind again.
Pretty sure the local shop will be reluctant to take in a 'grey import' for repair

Our friend here Bryan bought his PM8005 from SG. Have you considered that? It was SGD 1200 if I remember correctly. I don't know about the downside risk and what the custom could do if they pick it up on your way back. But warranty wise, if anything it seems doable to bring back for repair/warranty.

Just another option for you.

upgraded from Marantz sr6006...although not yet connect  height speaker,sound quality better than sr6006

Wow... Nice.. Can share where and how much you bought it? My SR5005 is 5 years old... About time...

Usually should buy speaker first rather than amp
