Marantz PM6007 Integrated Amplifier

Marantz Sound, Entry-Level Price

Marantz has a house sound, and the PM6007 delivers it at an approachable price. The corners that got cut are not the ones that matter. Custom HDAM circuitry — Hybrid Discrete Amplification Module — sits at the core. It runs a Class A/B design with current feedback.

That combination puts out 45 watts per channel into 8 ohms. A Linear Drive power supply feeds it. An aluminum extrusion heat sink carries the heat away. Power delivery stays stable and controlled, even when the music gets demanding.

Hi-Res Digital Without a Separate DAC

Digital sources go straight in. An AK4490 DAC handles the conversion at up to 24-bit/192kHz. Marantz then applies its own Musical Digital Filtering. The result is a smoother, more natural top end. That is exactly where cheap digital gives itself away.

The input count is generous for the price. Five analog inputs, plus coaxial and optical digital. A moving-magnet phono stage is built in, so a turntable connects without an outboard preamp.

Built for a Listening Room, Not a Spec Sheet

The front panel is metal, not plastic. The power cable detaches, which matters if you ever upgrade it. Marantz offers it in black or silver-gold. Either one matches the rest of the lineup. At just over 16 pounds, it still fits a bookshelf.

None of that is accidental. The same engineering philosophy runs through Marantz's flagship components. Marantz backs the PM6007 with a 3-year warranty. That says something about how long it expects the amp to last.

Get the Tone Controls Out of the Way

Source Direct mode does exactly what it says. It routes the signal straight through the amplifier. The tone controls drop out of the path entirely. When you want nothing between the source and the speakers, that is the setting.

The outputs earn their place too. A headphone jack sits on the front panel. Speaker A/B switching handles two pairs of speakers, so you can choose between them without unplugging anything. And a dedicated subwoofer output adds low end without costing you a speaker channel.

What Reviewers Are Saying

What Hi-Fi?, in a review first published in August 2020 and updated since, found the PM6007 "clearer and punchier than its Award-winning predecessor," with sound that was "smooth, full-bodied and balanced" and carried "a pleasing spaciousness." Reviewers noted "greater clarity, precision and rhythmic punch," adding that "textures take on new levels of tangibility." They praised the amplifier's broad connectivity, including its MM phono input and new subwoofer output, calling it "an accomplished budget stereo amplifier" that strengthens Marantz's position at this price point.

Who Is This Integrated Amplifier Best For?

• You want real Marantz engineering at an entry price — HDAM circuitry and Linear Drive power supply trickle down from Marantz's higher-end amps.
• You play vinyl on a moving-magnet cartridge — a built-in phono stage skips the need for an outboard preamp.
• You want a straightforward two-channel amp — no menus, no app, just inputs, a volume knob, and clean amplification.
• You listen on headphones sometimes — a front-panel jack is built in.
• If you want Bluetooth or built-in streaming, the PM6007 sticks to analog and digital-input duties — one of our network streamers feeds its coaxial or optical input.

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Connect your speakers to either (or both) sets of binding posts and your turntable to the phono input. Four more analog sources fill the RCA inputs, and digital sources join by coaxial or optical. Headphones plug into the front panel, and Source Direct mode is there whenever you want to bypass the tone controls entirely.

Simple controls, straightforward setup, Marantz sound.
