AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Magnificent integrated amplifier in excellent cosmetic and functional condition. Serviced, carefully cleaned in every part, extensively tested (it has been in my collection for some time) and complete with the original remote control.

Take a good look at the pictures of this integrated amplifier: how would you define it? Elegant is perhaps the first word that comes to mind, and it is indeed the most accurate. Yes, because this splendid amplifier from Marantz, produced during the period when the brand was controlled by Philips, is truly elegant electronics: it is so from an aesthetic point of view and from a sonic one.

The attribute “Special Edition” refers to the use of selected components and the design decision to deliberately forgo anything that is not necessary (tone controls, loudness, a second pair of speakers, to name a few), in order to focus exclusively on sound quality and give this electronic unit an audiophile character. The power supply terminal has been replaced/new as shown in the photo.

If, when off, the PM-66SE conveys an impression of elegance and solid construction (real quality, not just perceived), once turned on it confirms the first impression, delivering a classy listening experience: enjoyable, detailed, and at the same time endowed with a velvety smoothness, yet able to push when needed. Its 50W power (70W into 4 ohms) allows easy driving of the speakers; the soundstage appears well defined and is accompanied by a pronounced musicality with both digital and analog sources (the MM phono stage performance is very pleasing).
