I have really been think of getting the Marantz PM7001. Its a 70 watt 2 channel integrated amp that is suppose to be a good mid-fi amp. I also have a Marantz SR 5500 90 watt 7.1 reciever that does pretty good in 2 channel with pure direct mode. So heres my question.
Do you think the PM7001 would sound just like the SR 5500 does in 2 channel pure direct mode? Or would it be a good improvement over the SR 5500. I would like my dedicated 2 channel system to be above the SR 5500 in music quality...would I have to go up to a better integrated amp to get the sound I am looking for?
Thanks.
