Marantz PM11s1: Premium Series Stereo Integrated Amplifier

Derived from legends and built for the audiophile purists the PM11S1 will leave you breathless. Every aspect of the design and construction of the PM11S1 stereo amplifier has received Marantz top engineer's personal attention to attain uncompromised quality.

The copper-plated chassis and rear panel reduce signal-degrading electromagnetic interference, while its rigid chassis and solid aluminium case virtually eliminate mechanical vibration. A 3-stage construction with full Current Feedback and with short, symmetrical signal paths, independent left and right heat sinks, and new current feedback HDAMs ensure dynamic sound and perfect stereo imaging. Its newly developed low impedance, wide-bandwidth power supply ensures a massive reserve of energy, to drive even difficult speakers with ease. A floating control bus provides the possibility to lift your experience from stereo to multichannel in combination with 2 additional amplifiers.

To accommodate the ultimate audiophile requirement Marantz have included a top quality MM/MC phono stage. The MC head amp employs the traditional HDAM and the MM is designed using the newly developed HDAM SA.

- New premium design offers contemporary balanced design with user-friendly button layout and LCD display.
- Current feedback amplification offers excellent frequency response and superb sonic performance for the highest standard such as SACD.
- High quality linear volume control offers wide bandwidth without degrading signal quality and dynamics.
- Floating control bus enables audiophile multi channel upgradeability.
- Current Feedback HDAMs achieving a more dynamic, accurate and detailed sound reproduction regardless the amount of channels.
- Customised components for superb sound quality.
- Super Ring power transformer offers ultra low vibration and leakage flux keep the signal sharp and minimizes internal electro magnetic distortion.
- Copper plated chassis with copper shielding eliminates all possible radiation interference which can have a negative effect on the sound quality.
- Choke input power supply offers reduced rectifier harmonic noise
