Radmanna Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hello. I'll be buying a Marantz SA8003 SACD player, for my living room's home theater & music stereo setup. Both the Marantz PM5003 Integrated Amp, and the Marantz PM8003 Integrated Amp, can be used with the SA8003 SACD player. 1. Anybody familiar with these two Marantz integrated amps, and is there a significant difference in their sound quality? 2. Does the second amp (PM8003) ... having the same number as the SA8003 SACP player ... supposed to indicate that these two are supposed to be purchased together? Originally, I was planning on using a Pair of Heresy III speakers for my two channel (and subwoofer) home theater, and assumed that either of these two Integrated Amps would be fine with the HIII's. However, I'm leaning more and more on getting a pair of Cornwalls for my home theater & music stereo player. 3. How would the Marantz PM5003 and the PM8003 compare, if being used with a pair of Cornwall speakers? Would both of these do justice for a pair of Cornwalls, or should I consider a Marantz "Reference" Integrated Amp? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
