REFERENCE INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER/SUPER AUDIO CD PLAYER PM-15S1/SA-15S1 PM-15S1. Inspired by the already legendary SC-7/MA-9 combination and derived from the top class PM-11S1 we are proud to present the new Marantz PM-15S1. Coupling impressive design with outstanding performance we feel our engineers have created a worthy successor to the PM-17SA.
