The Marantz PM-10 is a flagship reference integrated amplifier featuring a fully balanced analogue signal path from input to speaker output. It employs a dual-mono power amplifier configuration with bridged output stages, providing 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 watts into 4 ohms. The amplifier incorporates Marantz's Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module (HDAM-SA3) with discrete circuit components for signal purity and dynamic range. The preamp stage has its own linear power supply, while the power amplifier sections feature dedicated supplies for each channel, minimizing interaction between circuit sections. The design includes a fully balanced preamp stage, current feedback topology, toroidal power transformer, and linear volume control with 0.5 dB steps. Connectivity includes MM/MC phono inputs with Marantz Musical Premium EQ, four line-level inputs (two balanced, two single-ended), power amp direct input, and record output. The amplifier features Marantz's exclusive SPKT-100+ high-purity copper speaker connectors and supports bi-amp configuration. Additional features include a full-size headphone output, remote control, and a 5-year warranty.
