The Marantz 1060 is considered a vintage classic, belonging to an early generation of solid state designed amplifiers that were "single-voltage rail, capacitor coupled". Even today, that form of electronic architecture is highly regarded as an alternative to conventional norms, mainly because they manage to seem reminiscent of the characteristic "warmth" of a valve amplifier sound. It is rated at 30 watts per channel into 8 ohms, which by modern standards is not high, but it does well at achieving comfortable listening levels on most speakers that suit everyday use. Just don't expect it to be a party animal! This unit is in excellent condition, suiting the discerning listener who prefers vintage classic over something more modern, complicated and brash.
