RE: not a classic monitor, but

Actually, that amp was rated at 38wpc into a 4 ohm load. A friend of mine had one (as part of a complete Marantz system) and I confess to lusting after his system - I had a Kenwood integrated at the time, driving Large Advents.

Yesterday, I cranked 'Fear Inoculum' and that Marantz PM-11S1 didn't object in the least, nor did my ears. In fact, of the amps I currently have on hand, I think this one is my favorite, even though it has the lowest power rating. I really loved it with the radically modified MMGs I had in my bedroom and then the 3.7s in the same room (no longer a bedroom). I'm frankly shocked at how effortlessly it seems to drive the 3.7s in the much larger room.
