The Marantz PM12SE Special Edition Integrated Stereo Amplifier is a meticulously crafted high-fidelity amplifier designed for true audiophiles seeking pure analog performance and musical accuracy. It features a fully discrete two-stage amplifier design with separate power supplies for the preamplifier and power amplifier sections, which keeps the signal path clean and minimizes interference for exceptional audio purity. Drawing on designs from Marantz’s flagship models and over six decades of amplifier expertise, the PM12SE uses advanced HDAM-SA3 circuitry to deliver dynamic, detailed sound with impressive control and low distortion. With generous power output of 100 W per channel into 8 Ω and 200 W per channel into 4 Ω, it can easily drive demanding speakers while maintaining clarity and musical nuance. The amplifier also includes a high-performance phono stage for MM/MC cartridges, robust analog connectivity, high-quality metal construction, and carefully selected premium components that together create a rich, engaging listening experience.
