We just received Marantz's first allocation of the Limited Edition Model 30 2-channel Integrated Amp and the 30n SACD/Network Server/Smart Streaming device.

When the Fed Ex driver showed up at our store I immediately opened the Silver/Gold amp and SACD player and set them up in one of our 2-channel systems and set the volume at near reference level. This system rocks the store and delivers a very accurate, tight and very full range musical sound quality.

I tested this new amp and SACD player with several pairs of speakers and they woke up and brought new life all the speakers we've played.



Next week I'll upgrade the speakers to Bowers and Wilkins 803 floor standing speakers.
