Marantz PM6007, CD6007 & Q Acoustics 3020i (Black)

”Marantz remains the name to beat at this price.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 award-winner.

Award-winning heritage
Following a secession of award-winning 6-series amplifiers, the Marantz PM6007 doesn’t disappoint. Just like its predecessors, the PM6007 matches smooth, powerful sound with first-rate system flexibility – letting you connect all your digital and analogue components.

Class-leading sound – made better
With a new output and DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), the PM6007 sounds better than ever. Designed for lower distortion and a faster, cleaner sound, the latest Marantz amp features Marantz’s bespoke HDAM-SA3 technology. HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) circuits replace basic op-amps, massively outperforming them. They promote lower noise for a more precise, detailed and dynamic sound – meaning you get to hear your music just as the artist intended.

The power to perform
Fed by a toroidal power transformer, Shottky barrier diodes provide a high current supply. This means you get effortless power and punchy dynamics. Whether you’re into Classical, stadium rock, dance or movie soundtracks, the PM6007 easily delivers an immersive, room-filling sound.

Digital inputs with selectable filter
Twin opticals join a coaxial input, giving you a total of three digital inputs – perfect for your CD/DVD player, streamer and TV. The new AK4490 DAC offers Hi-res compatibility – right up to 192 kHz/24bit. The PM6007 introduces new digital filters. Filters 1 and 2 tune the sound from digital components, giving enhanced depth or precision.

Connect your analogue sources – including turntable
It isn’t just the digital processing that’s been improved. A revised phono pre-amp uses technology from the PM700N model, lowering distortion and noise. The result is greater clarity from your vinyl, with a purer, less veiled sound. Four line level inputs and a recorder output complete the tally, giving you a grand total of eight audio inputs – easily enough for the most advanced systems.

New subwoofer output
Another new feature with the PM6007 amp is the dedicated subwoofer output. This lets you connect your choice of active subwoofer, for even more powerful sound. As before, there are two sets of, individually controlled speaker outputs, giving you the option of a set of speakers in another room.

With better sound and flexibility, the Marantz PM6007 is a centre of excellence for your entire system.

”This upgraded Marantz player remains the one to beat.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 Product of the Year.

A classic made better
Following on from a long line of class-leaders, the Marantz CD6007 is their best 6-series CD player to date. With an improved DAC, adjustable filters, a low noise power supply and the latest HDAM (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) tech, sound quality has advanced to a new plane. Versatile playback and system flexibility remains just as strong as ever.

Improved sound
At the heart of the CD6007 is a new, high quality DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor). This not only maximises the sound from your CDs, but is also compatible with Hi-res music files – right up to 192 KHz/24bit – ideal when used in conjunction with the USB socket.

New digital filters
Combined with the new DAC, a brand new two-mode filter lets you tune the CD player’s sound to suit your taste. Filter 1 enhances depth whereas filter 2 gives a sharper, more precise sound.

Hi-res audio compatible USB
At the front of the CD6007 is a Hi-res compatible USB interface. Connect your USB media storage device and play back a wide range of digital music files – making the most of the Marantz’s sophisticated digital technology. Compatible with MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC HD, ALAC and AIFF files, the CD6007 makes a great hub for your Hi-res music playback.

Top quality headphone amp – built-in
If you listen to headphones, you’ll be impressed by the CD6007’s built-in headphone amp. The improved amp features Marantz’s bespoke HDAM-SA2 circuitry with three settings (Low/Mid/High) for the perfect match with almost any pair of headphones. Combined with the dedicated volume control, this gives you total control of your headphones, without the need for any additional amp.

Connects to all systems
Gold-plated RCA outputs provide a high quality, low resistance connection to your amp. If you’re using an AVR or digital amp, you also have the option of optical and coaxial digital outputs. Supplied with a system remote control, just a single controller is required to operate a full Marantz system.

Get the best from your silver discs and USB music files, with the Marantz CD6007.

”A former Award-winning speaker that’s been improved, they keep Q Acoustics firmly among the cream of the budget speaker crop.”– ‘What Hi-Fi’ – 5 Star review. Tested at £249

Improved cabinet for even lower distortion
At the heart of these revised speakers is a much-improved cabinet. P2P (Point-to-Point) bracing is now deployed to enhance rigidity and reduce cabinet distortion. Reducing cabinet distortion lets the drive units operate at their optimum, giving a cleaner, purer sound.

Revised drive units
With their newly developed surrounds, the bass units are even more accurate and faster to respond. The coated paper woofer cone is light, rigid, and helps give the 3020i’s their deep, punchy sound quality. The tweeter units are decoupled from the rest of the cabinet, meaning that the treble isn’t affected by vibration from the bass unit. With power and purity of sound at their heart, the 3020i’s are amongst the most dynamic sounding speakers in their class.

Big sound from a small speaker
With a larger diameter bass cone and increased cabinet volume, the Q Acoustics 3020i offers a more powerful sound than its little brother, the 3010i. Ideal for larger rooms and/or lovers of dance, rock and full orchestral music, the 3020i brings greater dynamic realism, enhancing the feeling of 'being there'. The improved efficiency also ensures these speakers are easier to drive, making them ideal for less powerful amplifiers.

Four finishes to suit your style
With its distinctively designed, rounded cabinets, the 3020i is a stylish speaker. Choose between four different finishes and you can get the look that’s perfect for your home. Choose between Graphite Grey and Carbon Black for a technical look to blend well with your other hi-fi components. Alternatively, Arctic White looks great in modern interiors. Finally, the English Walnut vinyl finish is the ideal complement for both antique and contemporary wooden furniture.

Whatever your taste in music, the Q Acoustic 3020i will suit – just choose the colour and prefer to be dazzled.
