I ,too, will miss Ken. He was passionate and did tweak everything on the reference side of Marantz. I have owned mostly Marantz for 30 years and started with multichannel, then moved to the PM 17 integrated with two Sm 17 power amps. I now use a PM 8005/ SA 8005 in an upstairs den and a PM 14S1 integrated amplifier in my main system with Triangle Celius floorstanders. The PM 14S1 is minimally on the warm side of neutral, but without loss of detail, and well compliments the marginally cool horn tweeter of the Triangles. The newer PM KI Ruby integrated is class D with power. I haven’t heard it, but it has gotten good recent reviews.
I believe someone will step up and continue developing the reference products for Marantz. All the above were/are built in the Reference facility in Japan including the PM 8005 and PM 8006.
