PM-15S2

Integrated Amplifier

It offers full Current Feedback amplification adapting HDAM-SA2s and HDAM-SA3s for dynamic sound and perfect stereo imaging with extended resolution. Within its slender cabinet it includes a Toroidal transformer, WBT speaker terminals, and symmetrical circuit architecture with system block shielding. Power output is 2x 90W, 8 ohms. Independent left and right heatsinks eliminate cross-channel interference. New high precision volume control is provided by Micro Analog Systems MAS6116. Vinyl fans will appreciate the new Constant Current Feedback MM/MC phono pre-amplifier coming from the PM-11S2. With rigid double layer chassis construction, aluminium front and side panels, and an additional bottom plate to minimize external noise it is really solid. It all adds up to extraordinary high quality stereo sound, and by chaining up to four units with our floating control bus FCBS, it even can delivers a spectacular multi-channel experience.

Awards

  • The popularity of audio compression may still increase, but listening to true HiFi you of course do with a combination of a high quality SACD player and 2-channel amplifier. Marantz doesn?t only keep the pre amplifier and power amplifier sections completely separately but also the volume control circuitry to prevent crosstalk and any other unwanted interference. When activating the Power Amp Direct mode you can use the power amplifier to drive your ?Front? speakers in a multichannel setup or for the use of stereo ?bi-amping? in more traditional HiFi. Because of the specially selected components inside the Super Audio CD Player SA-15S2 it adds significant values for top the surprisingly high level of this beautifully finished combo.
