So I am looking to drive the 705’s with a little cleaner juice. I do not have a huge budget and don’t really need more than 150w pc of clean power based on the rest of my system. I do want a new amp (or refurb) and not an older one.
I have it nailed down to two contenders so far
Marantz mm7025 at 140wpc
And
Parasound 2125 v1 (b stock from safe and sound hq)
Which one would be a better fit for the 705’s with a mix of sources -HT, CD, LP’s etc?

Vs the Marantz new
Other; S60'S, M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

Social media makes dumb people dumber and smart people dumb then dumber.
My local dealer had Linn LK240 monoblocks on consignment for a client. So I got them! Came with set of Linn interconnects and all I can say is what an improvement over my Marantz AV (of course)
The 705’s are singing
Thanks for the feedback Polk community. All one of you...;)
You approve of the vintage choice?
