Marantz SC-11S1

$3,200.00 Released April, 2008

The Pros:Massive amplification possible, power output is large. Separation between channels is absolute, no cross-talk or interference. Doesn't wash out the tone, keeps it warm and clear.

The Cons:Doesn't match most other equipment. Only 2 channel output available, can't handle multiple devices.

The Marantz SC-11S1 is a reference control amplifier that is a part of Marantz's reference series of A/V devices. The two channel outputs have high channel separation and ultra wide frequency response design and can be used in bi-amp mode as a monaural control amplifier.
