Cheap, nice, well built, looks like the vintage amps of the 80's, you don't need to buy a pre-amp to start using it, easy to install and use, great sound (sounds like a good HI-END Amp) especially when you set class A mode, great to start a major music system, great for parties, you can count on it when you need a little bit power rather than quality, best of both worlds, Class A and Class AB.
It reaches really hot temperatures (do not put anything over), remote is full of nonsense buttons
I bought the Marantz PM-7000 because I wanted to re-initiate my Hi-Fi stuff after 20 years. After my last Pioneer Elite Amp, I was impressed in the audio store with the clean and crisp sound of midrange and higher frequencies, also it sounded good with the bass. I noticed a small button in the front of the panel with the legend "class A operation", when I request information about this feature to the guy of the store he told me that I have to shut off the amp, press the button and restart it over again to be sure that the feature was active.
This feature turns on the transistors and transformers to bring the most incredible and delightful sound experience. I really fell in love with this amp and took it to home. The bass was deep and higher frequencies becomes crystal clear, especially with metal.
for the year I've never felt bored of using it (I used it every day for at least one hour), to maximize the experience I recommend the use of a good pair of loudspeakers, I have a pair of Paradigm Monitor 7 v5 and the sound is amazing! Also, this means that you don't have to spend a lot of money to have a good Hi-Fi center in your home (I invest $500 for the amp and $650 for the speakers, this is the price of an entry level HI-END CD player).
I really recommend this amplifyer.
