Full Description

Marantz PM7000N

Future-Fi

With the contemporary Hi-Fi enthusiast’s growing interest in simple and compact design, many AV brands are working hard to meet the demands. Technology is rapidly advancing and so too are the technological expectations of the customer. Marantz’s PM7000N is a device with multiple capabilities all wrapped into one sleek tabletop bundle offering you a compact solution to Hi-Fi streaming. It not only performs to a professional quality but looks the part too.

HEOS: Connect and Control

The PM7000N is the first fully discrete, current feedback integrated Hi-Fi amplifier from Marantz complete with the ability to control and connect multiply located sources via HEOS built in. Enjoy all your Spotify, Amazon Music HD, Deezer, and Tidal playlists synced in one convenient place on your personal devices. Choose which speakers or room you wish to stream to and enjoy complete wireless freedom. As well as access to an almost unlimited amount of music, you can also access and instantly stream internet radio stations from the PM7000N to your compatible speakers.

High Power and Discrete

Thanks to Marantz’s own discrete HDAM-SA3 circuit, responsible for stably converting voltage to current, sound is produced at high speeds with a wide bandwidth. Sit back while your new PM7000N fills your rooms with sound in an instant. Being a discrete amplifier, the PM7000N has separate power components for pre and power sections. This helps reduce interference between circuitry for significantly reduced distortion.

High-Resolution Decoding

As well as being high speed, the PM7000N provides high resolution audio support. It can decode audio files such as Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC), Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), and WAV up to 24-bit/192-kHz for supreme quality with all the detail. With further decoding ability for DSD 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz tracks, listen just as your favourite artists envisioned. USB and network source compatibility allow such formats to be played directly.

Connection and Compatibility

The PM7000N features several input and output options to help you amplify your separates. Firstly, two 60-Watt (8 ohm rms) channels and further subwoofer pre-out get you connected to the your Hi-Fi speakers. Two optical, one coaxial, and one USB-A input offer data transfer between audio or video devices. Moreover, if you love vinyl but want bigger and better sound, the phono input with Marantz’s new FET input stage enhances signal purity and gives sound an overall boost.

Sonic Performance

With a shielded toroidal transformer among its circuitry components, the PM7000N efficiently transforms power and further minimises electromagnetic interference between the adjacent components. Such features make streaming from the PM700N clean sounding, true to the original, and high powered for achieving the volume you want without compromise. Front panel equaliser dials ensure you can control your sound and achieve the desired levels.

Features

• Two channels with SPKT-1+ for quality speaker playback
• One dedicated subwoofer pre-out for evenly dispersed bass
• Fully discrete current feedback integrated amplifier with fully shielded digital and network sections minimise interference and distortion

• Compatible with Alexa, Hey Google, and Siri for voice assistance
• Roon tested for assured compatibility and convenience

Bowers and Wilkins 606 S2 Anniversary Speakers

Bowers & Wilkins Consistency

Accumulating more than half a century of industry knowledge since their founding in the late 1960s with 25 years of persistent development since the release of the 600 Series, Bowers & Wilkins has celebrated the tremendous milestone by unveiling the seventh generation of the classic model. Implementing technologies originally reserved for the reference 800 Series Diamond range—the speakers installed at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios in London—experience why Bowers & Wilkins are the favourite of so many.

All-round Performance

Although at first glance the design may seem minimalistic, the finely-tuned engineering of the Bowers & Wilkins 606 S2 cannot be understated. Perhaps most importantly to performance, the crossover circuitry has been completely upgraded, with superior mid and high-frequency capacitors—originally used in the 700 Series Signature range speakers. This critical addition renders these bookshelf speakers with optimised transparency, able to exhibit a smoother harmonic performance, whilst still being available at a more accessible level.

Stand-mount Cabinet

If you need a centrepiece for your HiFi or compact home cinema system, Bowers & Wilkins are ready to deliver. Whilst only 19cm wide, comparatively slim for the larger bookshelf speaker of a range, the 606 S2 is deep. This makes for a bigger, harder-hitting sound than the 607 S2 and with room to breathe, a great choice if you’re looking for a dynamic sound system. The trim lines and uniform angles of the cabinet also help the speaker to blend in with a wide range of environments, with three neutral finishes: Black, Oak and White.

Decouple Double Domed Tweeter

A through-line of the 600 Series is its Decoupled Double Dome tweeter. Through analysis of speaker performance and stress, B&W has implemented key reinforcements at weak points in the dome using lightweight materials such as aluminium. The tweeter is decoupled from the cabinet by a gel-like band, fundamentally separating it from cabinet reverberations. The result is a breakup frequency pushed as high as 38kHz, as well as greater accuracy.

Continuum™ Cone FST™ Driver

An eye-catching feature of the 606 S2 Anniversary Edition is its 6.5” midrange driver, but it's not just looks that make this such an appealing piece of technology. Originally developed for their reference level 800 Series speakers, Bowers & Wilkins use exclusive Continuum™ drivers to deliver a sense of consistent, coherent performance. FST™ (Fixed Suspension Transducers) are also reactive, with higher resistance to external vibrations.

Flowport™ Bass-Reflex

The Bowers & Wilkins Flowport™ is another key feature of the 600 Series, with a pattern that’s far more than just a propensity for polka dots. With similar principles to golf ball design, the dimples help to reduce drag as air is forced from the cabinet. This bolsters bass response as well as diminishes the effect of turbulence on the 606. You can also use the included double cylindrical port bung to tighten bass to your liking.

Key Features

• Premium Continuum™ cone driver, also used in the flagship 800 Series Diamond, reproduces sound precisely
• The FST™ is separated from the main cabinet by isolating surround, reducing reverberation and increasing responsiveness
• 52-28,000 Hz frequency response for an especially impressive high-frequency reproduction
• Decoupled Double Domed Tweeter improves accuracy and lifts the breakup ceiling out of human hearing range
• Flowport™ bass reflex design reduces air resistance during use
• Completely upgraded crossover circuitry inspired by the 700 Series Signature speakers is a huge step up in sound quality
• Ideal-sized speakers for most standard living rooms
