...............And you are not the only who likes the 1060.............it was my first amplifier in 1975. I allways regretted having sold it to a friend , but today I have tree of them, this amplifier does thing many modern amplifiers can't ! It can paint musical soundscapes far away behind the speakers and behind the rear wall....the longer it plays the better it sounds ...; Another little gem is the L30 from Luxman , a real beauty wit a beautifull sound just like a good tube amplifier and the tuner is as good !
30 Watts can be overpowered, underpowered, or just right. It all depends on what you pair the amplifier with and the size of the room. If you go with speakers that are relatively inefficient, say between 80 to 85 DB, and you put it in a small room, it will suffice. However if you put that same combo in a large room you'll be left wanting. Now if you pair that same 30 Watts with a very efficient speaker at say 100 DB or more in a small room, then you can easily overpower the room. But it would be great for a larger room. If you go with a mid-efficient, somewhere in the 90 to 95 DB range, then you'll have a system that will work in a small room and a medium room, and sometimes suffice for a larger room if need be. It all depends on the speakers efficiency and how close it is to be Uber efficient. As to the sound of the Marantz, very very pleasing. Your friend has a nice amp.
Back when manufactures cared more about the final product than the advertising gimmicks and features. Did you get a new camera Andrew? The quality is awesome!
I have a pair of Fisher 3 way floor speakers, 8 5 and 3. I bought them new around 1987. I have them paired with a Harmon Kardon 730 (the same on you have). Do you think they are any good? Would a proper cross-over help or are they just so bad they aren't worth it?
I hope you understand that referring to your speakers as Ohm Fs is misleading as they are not the original Ohm Fs by any stretch of the imagination but a much more recent hybrid design... not a true omni-directional using a full range Walsh driver like the original. Not sure why you keep calling them Ohm Fs when in fact they are Ohm Walsh F with an addition number added.

1060 face plate one of the best looking ever made. It's a joy just to look at.
Yeap !
That Marantz is beutiful, i love 70`s equipment i currently have a Trio KA-3700 which is beutiful and minimalistic use it for FM and vinyl.
I had a 1030 given to me. I cleaned it all up and sold it. The person is very happy with. Nice looking and sounding amp.
😊i had both models , the sound quality was fantastic

marantz 1030 1040 1060 1090 are great amplifiers with a harmonic distortion of 0.05
Beautiful Marantz
tenho 1 model 1060 impecável aqui no Brasil ! não tem preço ! abraço !
I might buy a marantz sr7005 as my denon 2310 is making hissing sound and its always there to. but looking around £250 used. for a HD amp.
Deze AMP ziet er zeer modern uit !
omg marantz sound olways details and worm sound like saxy yang lady worm body no brand can beat marantz sound

The 1090 has NOTHING to do with the 1060 !!! this is a QUASI complementary amplifier and a real musical winner .........
Those are beautiful
Nice component. It's hard to find a good radio station these days. They are all full of commercials.
man your video s rock keep em coming
Now you can get a 1060 around €350 and with a nice wood cabin around € 750 and there are even asking €1k.
I think that is to much, better buy a 2238 instead
I bought the 1060 for around €290 in good condition I only needed to clean the pots @@vintagestereo
Klinkt geweldig mooie set.
2x30 watt met zon grote trafo en caps? Ik denk dat er meer uitkomt! Mooie video weer andrew!
ja klopt ik heb hem gemeten op 40wpc. hij is te koop mocht je hem willen
It’s a small guy but powerful like my MARANTZ 1040 console powerful!
Its a nice set ,but why do all high end amps sound forced ?
?!..
@@abomani21
Having a moan mate lol
I love marantz but the only thing I kind a like don’t like the looks it looks almost modern style not like Sansui they have that vintage looks
Sounds great on my Yamaha a-s501...is it yours or mine?
Joke, the Marantz is class

👀👌👍
Jealous I am/) a beauty
it's not my set, I was so lucky that Simon brought it over so I could test them out because these things are so expensive
I think he will sell the set but you don't live in the Netherlands
Vintage gear are overrated 😩 only the totl are ok to today’s standards!!
