RE: Marantz PM 6006/7005 vs Yamaha S 501

I have both the Marantz PM8004 and NAD C326BEE and use them in my workshop.

I like them both and it's one of those I can't decided which one I like more deals.

The Marantz clearly has a more "class" sound. More robust some detail but a "classy" sound.

The NAD is not bright or edgy at all! It does have a wonderful amount of detail, VERY accurate and again not bright! beautiful imagining and wide sound stage. But it does lack a certain amount of midrange "umph". That is the only area were the Marantz pulls ahead.

But yes, the humble 326 is a clear winner in audio. And I plan on keeping mine for as long as I can use it in my shop. It's not my main system stereo nor will it ever be a main system type stereo. But it is a great entry level stereo.

I forgot - I have an email friend with a 356bee and he never was really over the moon with that stereo???
