Need help to upgrade amplifier from Marantz PM8005

[pindranil]

Marantz model 50

Somehow I see the new Marantz series as less solidly built than the equivalent Denon amps of this generation…I wanted the PM10 in a larger listening room but that is another decision for another day…

Class D + smt - surface mounted technology leads to worse less long lasting products

Hmm…very valid points…but I can afford only so much…most of the funds go into physical media

Hi all,
Thanking for weighing in. I have finally pulled the trigger on the new Denon PMA-3000NE paired with the 3-way KEF Q Concerto Meta speakers (I was initially looking at the KEF R3 Meta but they were a little too big for my space)…planning to add a streamer transport …either the WiiM Pro Plus or the Eversolo T8…

Good choice.... Very great amp. I am using DCD & PMA 2500NE for 5 years now.

I recommend you to look in to streamer + DAC + Pre amp solution.
