    what speakers to match Marantz PM6010SE?

    I'm new to this forum. hope someone who has patience for beginners will read this...
    Just bought Marantz PM6010SE, and looking around to get nice speakers to match. had my mind set on B&W 602 or 601(probably second hands from eBay) cos the room is rather small wanna spend something like $200-300 but then saw this auction for awesome DM3000 and got really inspired. but now thinkin' if Marantz will be able to power them? I don't wanna over-do it.
    Any suggestions? Maybe sth from Mission, Kef?
    Thanx a lot for any advice.

    Well, the manufacturer lists the minimum power for the DM3000 as 80 watts. But, it's specifications say it's an 8 ohm load and has a sensitivity of 89dB (@ 1watt/1 meter), so 50 watts should drive it just fine unless you crank it up real loud or have a big room to fill.

        All,

        I'm about to embark on my next project. It is going to be a SteveNN Dual RL-p15 Wanna-Be sub. My motives for this new sub are several:

        1) Education. I'm still very happy with my sealed units, and they bring a smile to my face. But, I would like to take the parts I already...

        by javis
        Does anyone out there own or ever listened to the B&W DM3000? I stumbled across a pair 2 days ago in an ad which had just been listed so I immediately made an appointment to see them. They were in excellent cosmetic condition considering their age but more importantly the drivers looked perfect....

        Are B&W's and Marantz a good match?
        by RH Customs
        Are B&W's and Marantz a good match? I was thinking about getting a SR 4600 for my 300 series. Any opinions if this would be a nice match.

        Thanks
