Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Marantz and the m80's

Hi Parin,

While I basically agree with JohnK, I would point out that in past years, some Marantz models have been "iffy" driving the 4-ohm M80s. And even though Marantz is apparently built in the same factory as Denon (and Sherwood Newcastle), it doesn't mean that that these brands have identical circuitry.

Brands of AV receivers that Axiom has never had a complaint about shutting down driving the 4-ohm M80s include Denon, Sherwood Newcastle, NAD, Outlaw Audio, Rotel.

You might try and contact a knowledgable person at Marantz or get some feedback from Marantz owners on the Axiom forum.

Regards,

Alan
