Marantz MM7025 review
First ImpressionsIf you’re impressed by elegantly restrained industrial
design, the MM7025 is guaranteed to make a lasting – and very positive
– impression. The subtly curved aluminum/glass resin front panel adds a
sophisticated touch that complements any d?cor. The central porthole
display reflects iconic Marantz designs of the past while it brings you an
“at a glace” view of the amplifier’s operating status.Getting
ConnectedBoth single-ended RCA and balanced XLR inputs assure system
compatibility regardless of your preamplifier or processor. For maximum
flexibility, you can choose inputs independently for each channel.The
MM7025’s heavy duty, gold-plated, four-way binding posts accept virtually
any choice of loudspeaker cableYour System, Your WayThe MM7025 encourages
various system configurations. Use one for dedicated two-channel
listening, or use two to as zone amplifiers to power speakers in different
rooms. Adding a new pair of loudspeakers to an existing home theater? –
Get the most from your investment by adding an MM7025 as well. The exact
configuration is up to you. Sound quality isn’t – it’s Marantz
regardless of how you use this power amplifier.Marantz Sound QualityThe
MM7025’s advanced technology serves all your listening needs. Current
feedback circuits, also used in Marantz’s Reference Series amps, insure
the purest sonic reproduction regardless of source. Another MM7025
virtue, and one directly traceable to its substantial current capability,
is the control it establishes over difficult speakers to reproduce both
dynamic musical peaks and whispered dialog without blemish.The Power
SupplyAs befits a Marantz amplifier, the high-capacity power supply begins
with an oversized EI-core transformer feeding carefully chosen capacitors
capable of storing 30,000 µF of energy. This combination instantaneously
delivers peak power to all amplifier stages for distortion-free
reproduction of the most complex sources.Output DevicesIn the final
amplification stage, specially selected LAPT Hyper-Power output
transistors, originally selected for Reference Series use, deliver
fortissimo and pianissimo passages with equal aplomb. To make sure
they’re always operating at ideal temperatures, these transistors are
mounted on a forced-air “thermal tunnel.”Where Do I Put It?The MM7025
is less than 14” deep from front panel to rear speaker terminals. This
lets you place the amplifier almost anywhere – in a cabinet or on a
shelf. A detachable AC cord makes placement easy, even when there’s
little room and you can even rack mount it with the optional rack mount kit
RMK8754MSP.Remote Control, TooYou’ll find rear panel connections for a
“flasher” input that conveys On/Off commands from an infrared (IR)
remote controller. There’s a DC trigger input (and output) that lets
you ”daisy chain” one or several MM7025s to turn on and off in
synchronization with your preamplifer or surround processor. If you’re
going to use the MM7025 with legacy Marantz products, there are RC-5
connectors to give you a level of operating convenience you might not have
thought possible.ConclusionRefined looks. Flexible connectivity. Superb
sound quality. Convenient operation. Yes, these Marantz attributes come
together in the MM7025 Stereo Power Amplifier.It is, as are all Marantz
products, devoted to one goal – satisfying your desire for an exceptional
listening experience.For operational and technical assistance 24/7, use our
