What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience
All things to think about.... I do really like the Marantz Reference sound and do believe in product synergy. I would have to believe that a NA-11s1 paired with a PM-11s3 would be very musical?And as it is a few years old now I'm sure the NA-11s1 ...

Hello and thank you everybody! I have learned a lot from all of your posts and I have taken the time to reflect in what everyone has said, as I take all of your replies seriously. I also know they come with not only the passion we all have for Aud... 
What should my next upgrade be? Your best experience
OK, so I finally got home and have answered some questions myself with the Sonos I'm not sure why I didn't identify it as the weak link much earlier? Maybe because it is so easy? Maybe because Deezer streams at much better quality than most other ...

Great input guys! I should have thought about the Sonos myself but that’s why I have you all lolI’m not at home, so a quick question for the Sonos owners here. Can I bypass the Sonos DAC and use the UD7007s?

@roberjerman     Those Vandersteen's do look delicious! I just now read a bunch of reviews and they are some serious high-end players!

Thank you Alan and Inna.... I thought as much and will be looking at speakers first I guess?Budget.... Hmmm, well I guess I could get something out of the Monitor Silver 8s? Though I doubt much. The Silver 8s were 2K and well reviewed. I would wan...

Mid grade Integrated amp choices
I would also look at the Marantz PM-11s3. Mine has been nothing short of amazing since I’ve first listened to it! I pushes, no bullies my set of 4 ohm speakers with authority yet musicality I am still impressed with every time I listen to music!It... 
Class D = Trash?
Interesting read this thread has been! Just thinking out-loud.... I bought my Marantz PM-11s3 a year ago and listened to many class D amps including NAD, Devialet and others in its price range and to me there was no comparison! The PM-11s3 was a m... 
Integrated amp upgrade
I think that you might be very surprised and happy listening to a Marantz PM-11S3... The Reference Marantz Integrated is very detailed, incredibly fast, yet is NOT cold! It has serious power that easily surpasses its rating and can power most any ... 
Marantz and Stereophile?
sjtm, Sorry I just now saw that you posted a follow up that I had requested. Sorry I didn't see it sooner!I can see that your experience with the PM11s3 is close to the same as mine! Like you I cannot see myself replacing the PM-11s3 anytime soon ... 
Integrated Amp Suggestions for Dynaudio Contour 3.4LE
I would recommend listening to the Marantz PM-11S3 if you can find one before they are all gone. Very conservatively rated, in you price range, and can drive Dynaudios effortlessly while giving that sweet Marantz sound. I did a lot of A/Bing betwe... 
Marantz and Stereophile?
Congrats sjtm! Its quite a monster compared to the smaller PMs isn’t it! Please give us your thoughts, I’d like to see if your experience in upgrading to the PM-11s3 is the same as mine when I upgraded from the PM-8004...Oh, and I never sold the P... 
Bi-amping Rules
I read through this thread and maybe I missed it but what about amps that have been designed to work together in a bi-amp configuration?I have a Marantz PM-11s3 and Marantz talks about how these have been designed to work in tandem with each other... 
Marantz and Stereophile?
@erik_squires Erik I was never mad at Stereophile and the only agenda that I might have, is in appreciation of a fine component...But I will say this and you are right about it! I was being lazy in my search, wanting others to justify my opinion. ...
