Marantz M1 2-Channel Wireless Streaming Amplifier

It's a very good product and lives up to marantz build quality and their excellent sound.

Finally, a streaming amplifier/all-in-one that sounds great, fills all my needs, and doesn't break the bank.The Marantz M1 has a full and detailed sound that is so good, I have stashed my Rogue RP-1 Preamp, Luxman Amplifier, ifi Zen Stream, and Schiit Bifrost DAC, in the closet.This little jewel just works. It's beautiful and powers my Dynaudio Emit 30 speakers with power to spare. I have my TV connected via eArc, my Rega P1+ turntable to the analog in, and have a cd player with optical output on the way. Streaming is absolutely fabulous and rock-solid. The audio tuners at Marantz's Shirakawa factory have done their magic and the cool running class D amplification sounds sweeter than most analog I've heard. It takes a little time to get everything set up ... MoreFinally, a streaming amplifier/all-in-one that sounds great, fills all my needs, and doesn't break the bank.The Marantz M1 has a full and detailed sound that is so good, I have stashed my Rogue RP-1 Preamp, Luxman Amplifier, ifi Zen Stream, and Schiit Bifrost DAC, in the closet.This little jewel just works.

It takes a little time to get everything set up and sorted, but well worth the effort. I don't miss having a screen at all and the Heos app has improved over the years.Just go ahead and buy it. You won't be disappointed.

The amplifier has enough wattage to drive practically any speaker, including my Bowers & Wilkins 704 s3 towers and my Martin Logan Motion 15i bookshelf speakers. I have this plugged permanently into my office production PC, running a 2.1 system with the virtual sound mode helping to fill the entire room with sound. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the reliance on the Heos app (which cannot be installed onto a PC or TV), and lack of physical controls on the device past play/pause, forward and backwards. Lack of volume control, input select, etc without either your phone or your tv remote mean you're reliant on your portable devices to control it. Not a huge deal for a STREAMING amp, as you probably will be working around that anyways, but it is annoying ... MoreThe amplifier has enough wattage to drive practically any speaker, including my Bowers & Wilkins 704 s3 towers and my Martin Logan Motion 15i bookshelf speakers.
