I just may take the easy route and reverse the +/- at the speakers to fix the phase issue. Seems way easier than taking apart the XLR's to swap the + and - pins on every cable. Does anyone know if this will correct the phase. I just read some conflicting opinions?

Hi, you are not supposed to run subs with the speaker level inputs on the PM-10. Marantz does not recommend it as you can damage the amp and subs. There is a work around. SVS sells a module that converts speaker level to line level. It is simple to use ans supposed to be transparent. I am...

You need to hear the Marantz PM-KI Ruby Integrated. It is Class D with a Class A preamp. It is tonally rich and textured and evokes emotions to the music. It is a wonderful sounding amp but it needs just a bit more detail for me unfortunately. I just sold mine that I bought 3 weeks ago...

I just bought Marantz PM10 integrated amp. They are closing it out since they came out with the $15K Model 10. I love it. It has better sound than my Pass X250 amp (105 lbs and a lot of heat) and my BAT VK51SE tube preamp, 50lbs and even more heat than the Pass. The PM10 is a dual mono...

Thank you Mep. If anyone lives in the Twin Cities area, they are welcome to come over for a listen.

I have a pair of the 1528 bookshelfs and I am stunned at how good they are. All the reviewers on YouTube are spot on. The speaker is built like a tank at 66 pounds. The cabinet is inert. The front baffle is 3" thick. These are replacing my Magnepan 1.6 speakers. They present a wide, deep...

I just ordered a pair of the Arendal 1528 Bookshelf 8 speaker in Polar white. The 1528 line is all the rage of the internet. There is a 4 month wait for the speakers do to vibrant sales. The pro reviews all say pretty much the same thing that these speakers are exceptionally good. I will...

Bryan, I really like the sound of the Ruby. I like a warmer more romantic, lush sounding system. The issue with the Ruby and PM10 is that there is no way to hook up a sub. These are both differential amps. So I will only buy one if the speakers I buy don't need a sub. Otherwise I will buy...

Did you hook up a sub?

Hi, I will be downsizing my system within the next few months to 1 year. I am considering moving on from my Pass X250 and BAT preamp. I have been looking at used Marantz PM-10 integrated and have some questions about the sound and hooking up a sub. I have not heard this amp but I did hear...

That's great to hear about the new Luxman sound because the integrated amp we heard was not emotionally engaging and seemed sterile powering a pair of Wilson speakers. I may have to look at them again when I down size which is going to happen sooner than later.

2 or 3 years ago we brought my sons Cary SI300.2d 450wpc Integrated to Audio Perfection in Minneapolis and compared it to a $10k Luxman integrated. The Cary at that time sold for $6K. While the Luxman had a hint more detail and air, the Cary had a more totally rich and dynamic sound. The...

Mr. President was caught bragging on how he made his billionaire friends millions if not billions of dollars This is second hand info. Although I would not doubt it.

Its hard not to panic when you are planning on retiring in 2 years and I have lost over $700,000 since the Tariffs were announced. I am sure people have lost a lot more than me. I am sure it will come back but the answer is when?

I don't know where you buy your jeans but my Levi's and Lee's cost $50 to $70 unless I can catch them on sale.
