Matching Marantz Esotec MA-5 monoblocks and SC-6 preamplifier
Trialing integrated amps at the moment, so hence the IC.
Purchased via Audio Abattoir, these have been owned by a couple of forum members prior to me. On purchasing twelve months ago I had Firebottle (Alan) of AoS give them the once over to ensure all switches on the pre-amp were acting as they should. They have served me very well, never getting too warm and providing my first taste of Class A sound. They have powered (with ease) Spendor S8e and Sonus Faber Olympica 1.
The big surprise is the quality of the phono stage (equaled my Trilogy 906, so I sold it!), and the excellent headphone stage, which powered my HD600 comfortably with convincing bass weight.
Collection or meet up/delivery preferred from Stratford upon Avon.
Looking for £750 for the MA-5s and £400 for the SC6. A deal could be negotiated for the pair
