The new PM-15s2 Premium Integrated Amplifier from Marantz offers full Current Feedback amplification adapting HDAM-SA2s and HDAM-SA3s for dynamic sound and perfect stereo imaging with extended resolution.
Within its slender cabinet it includes a Toroidal transformer, WBT speaker terminals, and symmetrical circuit architecture with system block shielding. Power output is 2x 90W, 8 ohms. Independent left and right heat sinks eliminate cross-channel interference. New high precision volume control is provided by Micro Analog Systems MAS6116.
Vinyl fans will appreciate the new Constant Current Feedback MM/MC phono pre-amplifier coming from the PM-11S2. With rigid double layer chassis construction, aluminium front and side panels, and an additional bottom plate to minimize external noise it is really solid.
It all adds up to extraordinary high quality stereo sound, and by chaining up to four units with our floating control bus FCBS, it even can delivers a spectacular multi-channel experience.

Media Totaal Award (Beste Van 2010)
The popularity of audio compression may still increase, but listening to true HiFi you of course do with a combination of a high quality SACD player and 2-channel amplifier. Marantz doesn't only keep the pre amplifier and power amplifier sections completely separately but also the volume control circuitry to prevent crosstalk and any other unwanted interference. When activating the Power Amp Direct mode you can use the power amplifier to drive your Front speakers in a multichannel setup or for the use of stereo bi-amping in more traditional HiFi. Because of the specially selected components inside the Super Audio CD Player SA-15S2 it adds significant values for top the surprisingly high level of this beautifully finished combo.
AudioVideo2day by Herwig Vergult - Dec 2010 (PM-15S2/SA-15S2 Premium Stereo Combo)
The SA15S2 SACD-player sounds like a gem, silky, nuanced, coherently detailed, relaxed, spacial, musical and with the right amount of punch when needed. It offers a nice deep, realistically three dimensional sound. Very detailed, seemless tone reproduction at all ranges and the choices offered by the filter selection make a very complete player.A recommended buy in its price range.
The PM15S2 amplifier was not able to convince me, despite its power reserve; transparency and pretty wide and deep sound, especially with room music. This drawback hardly showed when listening to vinyl, thanks to the excellent MM/MC-preamp. Rock, Metal and Techno lovers however may find a proper ally with this amplifier, and vinyl lovers will appreciate the excellent MC/MM-preamp.
For the finest of sound
Many of the innovations that are now part of the new PM-15S2 and SA-15S2 were first developed for the Reference Series of Marantz systems. Thanks Marantz's policy of continuous innovation, these world-class performers are now at the heart of these Premium systems.
Every Detail Guaranteed
For both the PM-15S2 and the SA-15S2 Marantz engineers have applied oversized, high efficiency Toroidal transformers and customised capacitors. This deliberate over-specification guarantees that enough power is available the very instant it is required - and that’s important because any slight delay, or any minute shortfall results in lost detail.
Marantz own Current Feedback amplification
Current Feedback amplification is a well-known, Marantz’ original circuit technology. This technology is ideal for the high demands of Super Audio software, since it guarantees wide-bandwidth and high-speed reproduction. Marantz CD players and amplifiers equipped with Current Feedback minimise the phase compensation via Negative FeedBack (NFB), resulting in high through-rate, excellent transient response and superb sonic transparency for the full bandwidth.
Perfect for Phono
With vinyl achieving new heights of popularity Marantz gave this medium special attention and applied a “Full Discrete Constant Current-Feedback (CCF) Phono Equalizer” for MM and MC systems - a technology that was originally developed for the SC-11S1. In conventional phono amplifiers Negative FeedBack (NFB) technology is used, but this needs to set different values for low and high frequency ranges to achieve the desired RIAA curve. This causes sound differences between the low and high frequency bands. Marantz CCF achieves the RIAA curve with Constant Current Feedback from the low to high frequency range, which eliminates these sound differences while simultaneously improving the high frequency linearity.
More Speed Less Noise
Marantz develops its own discrete circuit boards to replace standard ICs. These `HDAMs’ have discrete surface-mounted components with short mirror image left and right signal paths. These fulfil the same requirements as regular operation amplifiers, but outperform them dramatically in terms of the Slew Rate (speed) and reduced noise level. This helps create a much more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound.
Distortion Elimintated
The SA-15S2 uses a SACD-M10 mechanism, which has a host of performance enhancing features. Firstly, its tray is constructed from XYRON® (PBO fibre), a next-generation super fibre which dramatically reduces disc vibration and resonance. Also, the surface structure minimises light reflection to ensure undistorted data read out. In addition, everything is shielded by a thick aluminium cover to further reduce vibration and optimise audio output quality. And playability is extended to WMA and MP3 playback, but of course without sacrificing any of the audio quality of CDs and Super Audio CDs.
