Marantz PM-14S1 black

The new model in the 14 Series features an entirely redesigned pre-amplification concept and prodigious advances in performance. It is the quintessence of quality and, quite simply, a masterpiece. As you would expect from a high-end amplifier, it incorporates exceptionally high-quality components such as a toroidal transformer and subsystems that form the foundation of its design.

Moreover, it includes personalized and enhanced elements like Marantz’s exclusive HDAM audio modules and implements a much more efficient electrical signal path. All of this elevates the audio quality to a sublime level. The PM-14S1 also comes with a new remote control featuring an elegant black anodized aluminum housing that can also control the SA-14S1 player. Finally, the Marantz-specific speaker terminals, made of solid copper, lend it a touch of elegance and increased signal transmission capacity.
