Those Klipsch speakers at 98db sensitivity don't need much power at all. I have no experience with either of the Marantz units you mentioned, but I'd get the PM8006 if it's a choice between the two. It will have plenty of power and give you the flexibility to add other sources, you can connect a subwoofer to it, it has balance and tone controls, and you can add an amp to it in the future.
Building a mid(-upper) range stereo with Marantz and Klipsch
Have a nice day !
I am new to this forum. I am no expert. I am about to build a stereo system so that I could listen to hi-res
music and the (flac) rips of my cd collection (classical, jazz, popular…).
*I have purchased lately a Marantz NA6006 network player.
*I have a pair of Klipsch RP8000F floorstanding loudspeakers.
( at the present time they are connected to an almost 30 years old Yamaha AX570 )
*After reading a lot of info I came to the conclusion that the Marantz PM8006 amplifier is one that is worth
to buy.
Or instead...
*I also thought of connecting the NA6006 to a MM7025 power amplifier through the variable rca out of
the NA6006 and drive the loudspeakers this way.
My questions are:
1./ does the PM8006 have enough power to drive the Klipsch RP8000F without causing harm to the
loudspeakers ?
( for me it is a plus that I can connect an active subwoofer to the PM8006 pre out )
2./ is it a good idea to rather buy a MM7025, connect it to the NA6006 variable rca out and thus have twice
the power to drive the RP8000F ?
In this case would I have the same or similar quality stereo experience as with the PM8006 ?
In this setup is it possible to connect an active subwoofer the fix rca out of the NA6006 ?
3./ Am I right to suppose that I could connect the NA6006 to the PM8006's network input then plug the
MM7025 power amp to the PM8006 pre out, thus being able to work with 140 W instead of 70 W, what is
maybe better for the 150 W (cont.) Klipsch RP8000F ?
If it is technically viable would this setup sound like a hifi at this price should ?
Also, In this setup is it possible to connect an active subwoofer the fix rca out of the NA6006 ?
( though the price of the PM8006 and MM7025 together starts to quite stretch my budget )
Please help me to decide what is the better solution.
Sorry for being so long.
Thank You.
