I’ve just had our first glimpse of Marantz’s latest streaming amplifier at the Masimo European Dealer Conference, where future product launches from Marantz, Denon and Bowers & Wilkins were shown under strict embargo.
The one product I can talk about, however, is one that I’ve been most intrigued by ever since the news launched last month: the Marantz Model M1. It’s a 2.1-channel amplifier with HEOS-powered network streaming, physical connections including HDMI eARC and, comes with an appealing price and form factor that could be exactly what I’ve been waiting to see from an established hi-fi brand.
