PM6003 Integrated Amplifier

The PM6003 replaces the much-praised PM6002, the last amplifier to be upgraded to the new M1 Reference Design style. But it’s not just the outward aesthetics that have been improved; Marantz took this upgrade opportunity to further improve this already excellent amp by refining the sound and optimising the balance from bass to mid to highs for a performance full of harmony. The new lower impedance Toroidal transformer shielded with case, was also matched to the new main capacitors, which again have been aligned to the new type of power transistor, mounted on a new extruded aluminium head sink, capable of handling higher currents and keeping closer control of the speaker. And of course all of the original features - such as six-line audio input including Phono, two-pairs of gold plated speaker connection with the convenience of bi-wiring and a remote handset - are still available.

Awards

  • Marantz is proud to announce it was again a multi-award winner at the prestigious What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision Awards. For in incredible third year running Marantz won a brace of Best CD Player award. This year it was the turn of the 6003 stereo series to dominate their respective categories picking-up where the two-times winning 6002 two-channel pair left-off with the CD6003 claiming Best CD Player up to £500 and the PM6003 claiming Best Stereo Amplifier up to £500. See the full review for a taste of the glowing PM6003: "A cohesive and inviting sound; impressive insight and an easy-going sound; smart appearance".
