    Default Marantz pm4 vs Yamaha ca-1010

    Driving Yamaha NS1000M’s

    Will the newly purchased Yamaha monster beat my beautiful marantz Pm4 ?
    So the pm4 is widely known as the giant killer ( I have to agree ) but then the CA-1010 was made for the Yamaha ns1000m’s , both are class A .

    Taking into consideration the looks , build quality , and for being in exceptionally good condition and boxed, the Yamaha wins

    For the sound ? The marantz wins it hands down.

    Dilemma .... I can’t keep both
