The only way to know which one you prefer is to listen to both in your own room with your gear. In this test the Marantz sounds brighter and the Cambridge warmer and more laid back. Because of this I think the Cambridge would be a safer match with the many bright sounding speakers currently available. I agree that the CXA81 would have been a closer match for this comparison. Both Cambridge amps are on the warm side (oddly though, some reviewers have described them as neutral sounding), but the CXA81 is more detailed and dynamic than the CXA61.
Thank you very much for watching the video. I also think it would have been better to compare CXA81 and PM8006. Actually, my room is small and the CXA81 performance is too good, so I replaced it by downgrading it from PM8006 to CXA61.
안녕하세요! CXA81과 PM8006의 비교 청음영상이였으면 금상첨화였을텐데 좀 아쉽습니다.^^ 캠브리지에 비해 마란츠는 V자형 사운드 같습니다. 궁금한 점이 있습니다. PM8006 전면의 트레블ㆍ 베이스 노브외에 미드 레인지 조절하는 노브가 있는데 그 노브를 사용하면 V자형의 음색이 어느 정도 밸런스를 잡아주는지 그리고 미드 레인지 노브를 사용했을 때 이질적으로 들리는 등의 음질열화는 없는지 궁금합니다.
안녕하세요 비교영상을 살펴봐주셔서 대단히 감사합니다. 저도 역시 CXA81과 PM8006을 비교했으면 더 좋았을 것으로 생각합니다. 실은 제 방이 좁은데 반해 PM8006 성능이 너무 좋은 오버스팩이라서 한 단계 급을 낮추어 CXA61로 교체를 했습니다^^ 톤 조절을 문의해주셔서 'PM8006 Product Information'을 번역해 드립니다 PM8006은 저역, 고역 톤 컨트롤에 더해 인간의 귀가 가장 민감한 보컬이나 악기의 기음을 커버하는 중역도 컨트롤 할 수 있는 3밴드(BASS/MID/TREBLE) 톤 컨트롤 기능을 탑재했습니다.다양한 음원 상태에 맞게 원하는 음질로 조절할 수 있습니다. 톤 컨트롤 회로는 음질을 중시한 액티브 필터형을 채택했습니다.센터 포지션에서의 주파수 특성은 완전히 평평해집니다. BASS: 50Hz ± 10dB MID: 900Hz ± 6dB TREBLE: 15kHz ± 10dB 참고로 위 영상은 톤 콘트롤 회로를 거치지 않은 Source Direct로 녹음을 했습니다
Great tests. Have you, can you make a comparison between the Marantz pm8006 and the Yamaha A-S1200.....??? You have tested both amps but not together in a side by side battle.
Thank you for watching the video. If I have a chance, I'd like to match the Canton speaker with the amplifier. Sorry for not being helpful. FYI, the amplifier output is 8 ohm 60 watts for CXA61 and 70 watts for PM8006.
I was thinking they were both pretty nice until the sax came in - as a sax player, the Marantz blows the Cambridge out of the water for sax reproduction!
@@larkin301 The PM8006 that i now own, discoverd as many reviewers said, on source direct you hear the highs a little piercieng, that not happend on that button off. I also made a comparisson with cambridge, it's great but i liked the made in Japan, the tone controls (that i'm not using), and for that reason i choosed Marantz. Anyway the Cambridge it's a safe choice. Thanks for the great video!
I think when we filmed this video, we proceeded as below. Thank you PC USB → AIYIMA T9 PRO (JAN-5654W Vacuum Tube) aux out → MARANTZ PM8006 (Amplifier has no DAC) PC USB → Cambridge Audio CXA61 (DAC with built-in amplifier)
@@Moebius-m2c Thank you for letting me know. I bought "SMSL SU-9n" last month and have been connecting with cxa61, so I'm listening to it with a little better sound now.
I pulled the trigger on the PM8006, no regrets at all!

I think this seals the deal, I want the 8006 for my Focal Aria 936s which need something to bring them to life😎👌
Thank you for watching the video

안녕하세요!
CXA81과 PM8006의 비교 청음영상이였으면 금상첨화였을텐데 좀 아쉽습니다.^^
캠브리지에 비해 마란츠는 V자형 사운드 같습니다.
궁금한 점이 있습니다.
PM8006 전면의 트레블ㆍ 베이스 노브외에 미드 레인지 조절하는 노브가 있는데 그 노브를 사용하면 V자형의 음색이 어느 정도 밸런스를 잡아주는지 그리고 미드 레인지 노브를 사용했을 때
이질적으로 들리는 등의 음질열화는 없는지 궁금합니다.
안녕하세요 비교영상을 살펴봐주셔서 대단히 감사합니다.

실은 제 방이 좁은데 반해 PM8006 성능이 너무 좋은 오버스팩이라서 한 단계 급을 낮추어 CXA61로 교체를 했습니다^^

Hey, great comparison!! Which would you guess fits better to a canton Speaker? Thanks

CXA61 is a bit warmer than PM8006.
Try to set off Marantz sound direct, it sounds much better (warmer).
Thank you for watching the video. PM8006 played in Source Direct mode

The diferrence is day and night. Are they at the same price range?
The two amplifiers are in a similar price range. Thank you.
Then marantz is way better

Items on the amplifier? 🔥
The CXA81 would have been a closer match.
CXA81 a bit brighter than 61.

The Marantz sounds better , , Also has tone controls to fine tune

Cambridge sounds warmer and more musical. Marantz can be a bit of listening fatigue after listening for a while.
MARANTZ PM8006 - Win ^^
I am currently using the Cambridge Audio CXA61 and I am satisfied. But MARANTZ PM8006 is a really great amplifier and I would recommend it.Thank you.
marantz 52% cambridge 48%.To sú skvelé zosilňovače.
