Marantz is expanding its range of streaming amplifiers. The Model 60n is a more affordable follow-up to the Marantz Model 40n, an attractive, just-add-speakers system with a spacious, clear presentation and lovely build. Had it been a little more engaging and insightful, a five-star haul would have been a formality. Marantz will be hoping that its latest model's credentials will earn it full marks from us in a field that recently has seen a small explosion of similar, rival units.
Marantz's compact Model 60n streaming amplifier aims for "outstanding performance with exceptional flexibility and cutting-edge technology". With 60W per channel of Class A/B amplification and a built-in ESS Sabre DAC, the Model 60n promises exceptionally low distortion and plenty of power for a sound that supposedly blends warmth and resolution with ample dynamism and effortless musicality.
