Yamaha A-S3000 Vs Marantz PM-10 (new reference line)

Seems the Marantz is based on Hypex Class D modules, many positive reviews out there for them.

I should also point out in the same price range are the Luxman integrateds as well.

Yamaha is a great and powerful company . Marantz is a brand name that
has gone though a lot of different hands .

Anyone listened and compared the new marantz reference series amplifier, PM-10? and compared with their previous Class AB reference power amps? 

Noble, you are describing my experience (although limited) with class D. The early 2000's Elite receiver sounded way better than my 70's Pioneer receivers I had back in the day. I'm sure modern class D has improved even since then.
