This amplifier is a must-have in its class. Powerful and aesthetically stunning. The sound is very immersive when paired with the Marantz ND 8006 player and two pairs of B&W and Monitor Audio speakers.

Magnificent device that pairs very well with Genese Lyrr triangles, a stunning midrange and abundant details (be careful however of poor recording) very transparent yet smooth as an amp, no Loudness, but with speakers there's no need!

Superb amplifier, simple, efficient and high quality. Top headphone output, phono output with magnificent sound rendering. Quality connectors delivered as expected. Neutral sound as desired with the Monitor Audio Silver 100 speakers.

It's great. Lots of power with the Davis Acoustics Dhavani MK2 speakers. Superb sound.

Sound on 5*****.
There may be inconvenience with sensitive volume control at low volume and Marantz support.
At low volume, I use a bit of the whole tone balance : middle, low, high. I turn them off at higher volume with Source Direct.
Compared to the PM6007, this is another level and sound (it's not better, it's completely different). I'd say this is true Hi-Fi if you use its built-in preamplifier with its own Op-Amp. Using Amp direct mode - the sound remains simpler, like D-class.

After two years of listening, I think I'm going to change my amplifier.
This amp is paired with Triangle Antal speakers and a Marantz 6006 CD player, and I find that it lacks warmth. It's certainly a nice amp, but it's missing something.
Well, that's just my opinion.

Replacing a Rotel A11, I wanted an amp better suited for my Focal Chorus 726V speakers. I tested a Cambridge CXA81, whose energy and musical spectrum are unforgettable, but too sharp for my ears, and the CXA81 also lacks tone controls. After some thought, I went with the Marantz PM8006 which offers sufficient power for my speakers and a smoother sound. Upon listening, there's less deep bass than on the CXA81, but a certain overall vigor and spectrum detail that makes for pleasant, dynamic and non-aggressive listening. Being very eclectic in my music tastes, from classical to pop, rock, and variety singers, I have an amp that to my ears pleasantly accommodates all genres. I make the necessary adjustments when needed. Finally, the phono preamp is very good. This device is fully analog, which suits me well, as I have a Rotel Tuner 14 that gives me access to Spotify in particular.

Used with a Marantz NA6006 network player.
What I liked: the ability to switch it to a power amp (dedicated input and POWER AMP DIRECT button).
What I liked less: the remote control for precise volume adjustment and the lack of remote tone control.

Good amplifier. Works well with the Marantz ND 8006. That's what they're meant to be.

Very good sound quality amplifier, with good power, is flexible to connect with any type of speakers thanks to its midrange adjustment.

Excellent amp, very musical. The treble/bass and balance controls allow you to properly adjust the sound based on the environment.

Paired with the ND8006 network player, the set is of great quality.
The qualitative difference with my old Marantz 7000 amplifier (15 years old!) is noticeable. The amplitude and precision of the registers are there.
A beautiful set to recommend to audiophile enthusiasts.

Very good amplifier paired with an ND 8006 and Triangle Quartet speakers.
Lots of finesse and detail, and I find the warm sound of my tube amplifier.
A single remote control for both devices since they belong to the same series, the only downside is that I can't select the phono input from the remote control, but the phono preamp is excellent.
Serious equipment: I recommend it.

Nothing to complain about. Very good musicality with Sonus Faber Sonetto bookshelf speakers.
Excellent quality device.

Very good integrated amplifier. Rich and balanced sound with good channel separation. Your ears never get fatigued, even after several hours of listening. The only flaw is the volume control, which is far too fast, whether using the remote control or the potentiometer.

Excellent amplifier that replaces the 6004. Clear improvement in details and soundstage, which is much clearer and more expansive. You can perfectly distinguish all the instruments, and the impression of slightly overwhelming bass on the 6004 has disappeared with the 8006. Requires good speakers (floorstanding) and a good CD player.

Premium quality product, for a fairly neutral and very efficient listening experience at low volume!

Compared to my first PM 5004 amp, it's night and day! Of course, the PM 8006 is in a different class and has a different philosophy. It's a much more refined product, 100% analog with very high quality components. It's characterized by a rather neutral sound, unlike the PM 6xxx and 5xxx series, and it makes a difference in terms of current reserve and therefore dynamics. It's a shame it lacks a small screen to display the source, like on the higher-end models, but I'm nitpicking! This is a high-end amplifier with the sound I was looking for to power Monitor Audio Silver speakers. No regrets.

What a beautiful amp.
Musicality, precision, dynamism...
Makes my speakers sing.
Compare it to other amps in its price range, and I'm pretty sure it won't have many rivals.
