By that I don't mean, by the way, a Boutique manufacturer who builds a one-ton record player that they only sell five of a year anyway. I'm talking about Marantz who limits an amplifier and a SACD player to 500 copies. Worldwide. As is usually the case, Marantz is about an anniversary promotion. Ken Ishiwata is celebrating 30 years with the company in 2009, and is appropriately celebrating with a personal gift to those who love his work. Because in addition to being Brand Ambassador, Ishiwata is, of course, the defining person in the sound tuning of Marantz equipment. • Special limited edition celebrating Ken Ishiwata’s 30th anniversary with Marantz • 2x 90 Watts (8 ohm) / 2x 140 Watts (4 ohm) • Current Feedback circuitry • Full discrete 2-stage power amplifier construction • Cased Toroidal transformer • Copper plated chassis • Audiophile grade selected audio equipment To deliver this product properly, it is carefully packed in very strong boxes, thereby wrapped in bubble wrap with lots of padding.
