Warmer sounding Solid State
Having some technical issues with my Marantz PM8005 interferring with other gear in my setup. Sounds great with my Dali Oberon 5s though. Any other manufacturers make a solid state that has a “warmer” sound like the Marantz? Slightly rolled off highs, good midrange and full bass?

Surprised no one has mentioned the Hegal Amps or Krell. I have a Hegal H160 and have tested the Parasound Halo Integrated (did side by side comparison for one week) and to my ears and that of some experts - the Hegal won; https://www.soundstageaccess.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/691-parasound-halo-integrated-dac-integ... |
@aniwolfe Yes I have. Will it help?? I ordered one and am actually expecting it to get delivered today. A very modest Furman AC-215A. On the cheap, but I just wanted to see if it would help the situation. You see, I have a Peachtree Nova 150 setup next to the Marantz PM8005 right now and have been going back and forth between the two. The Peachtree pulls out those brittle top end tendencies a little more than the PM8005, and generally I like the sound of the Marantz quite a bit better. It has a better sound stage and sounds a little more natural to my ear. However, I am eager to see if a bit of power conditioning helps the Peachtree and evens the playing field. |
