Prime Day deals aren’t usually kind of high-fidelity, too concerned about lowering the prices of the most mass-consuming technology – TVs, headphones, Bluetooth speakers, and the like. Of course, there are some modest discounts on a few microsystems and a handful of speaker pairs we’ve never seen, let alone on the ears. But we’ve searched the site, so far in vain, to find Prime Day high-fidelity deals that are worth calling from the rooftops. More luck comes on Black Friday, eh?
That said, something has caught our attention. Amazon easily has the best price on one of our favorite built-in amplifiers, even if it’s not officially labeled a “Prime Day offer”. A current What Hi-Fi? Award winner, the Marantz PM6007 now costs £ 419 in the UK (opens in a new tab) and $ 457.71 in the US (opens in a new tab).
The next best prices at other online retailers are £ 449 and $ 799 (slightly lower than the amp’s recommended retail prices), so now is definitely the time to buy if you’re looking for a well-equipped and affordable budget. high performance mid-range. stereo amplifier …
The Marantz PM6007 would be a great first amplifier or an upgrade to an old-fashioned input model. In terms of performance, you won’t find a better amp today. As we said in our five – star review, “his sound character is as familiar as his work: soft, full – bodied and balanced, with a pleasant amplitude … he is as pleasant a performer as one could ask for at this price. “.
Its connectivity does not disappoint either. While you won’t find Bluetooth or a USB input, there’s everything else: line levels, coaxial, optical, and even a phono input to house a turntable. And this case work? We have no doubt that it will hold up over time.
All in all, this is a very complete amplifier that you can buy with confidence and now at a very tempting low price. This is a good example of when looking further away from the official Prime Day offers can bear fruit, even if it is still on Amazon.
