Effortless audiophile amplification
Absolutely superb sound from this amplifier. Beautifully clear upper range, clear and defined mids and smooth and deep bass. The first thing i used with the amplifier was a 1969 LP of Abbey Road by the Beatles. For a music source 50 years old the clarity to which the Marantz gave really brought the music alive - a wonderful experience. Since then i've used CD and a streaming network player as sources and these just sound out of this World! From the Marantz spec sheet i was wondering whether 60W RMS power was going to provide enough music power to fill my 6m x 4m living room. As the power supply in the Marantz is very linear and is superbly Engineered it drives my KEF 500 floorstanders so well i have rarely used it up and beyond the 50% volume mark - this amplifier provides more distortion-free music power than i have experienced with amplifiers rated at over 120W per channel. Bear in mind that back in 1998 or so this KI Signature version of the amplifier was retailing at £1,700 so you know you are getting a superbly designed product.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Hard to find piece of kit.
Wanted one of these way back in 1999 but could not afford the extra £600 for the modification at the time on top of the standard PM-17 of £1100. Wow!! was it worth waiting 17 years and get one at this price £595 and in an as "New" condition. Virtually no marks on the unit. The sound and presentation of the sound is both wide and deep. Bass well controlled, mid range and top so clear giving pinpoint accuracy on stage placement. Nothing wrong with the standard version but the mods do lift it way up the audiophile line. Most reviews give it a sound simular to but below that of a "Krell Kav 250a which costs £5500. So i am well pleased and would recommend this PM-17 Sig to anyone, but good hunting as not easy to find.

What a beauty
Had been lusting after one of these for some time. This replaced a pm7000, so it is a big step up in both sound and quality. The sound is quite divine. I paid more than I was hoping to pay but as a once in lifetime purchase I thought 'what the hell, it's only money'. I use it for vinyl- great phono preamp, CDs and DAB radio. I could not be more pleased.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
