Marantz PM6007 Amplifier, Integrated Amplifier with Digital Connectivity, Analog Coaxial and Optical Inputs, 2X 45 Watt, DAC, D/A Conversion for Digital Input - Silver/Gold

Took a couple weeks to get to the states from UK but no issues. I also purchased a Krieger 600-Watt Voltage Transformer to step down from 220 to 110 (you will also need an EU to UK plug) and the esinkin Bluetooth Audio Adapter to connect an old tablet with MusicBee to stream all of my old CD's.Sounds great both with the turntable and streaming via the tablet. Build quality is what you would expect from Marantz and it drives four old Mission (703s floor and 701 bookcase) speakers with easy. I wanted Silver which is not available in the US, to match an old EQ I had but the price in the UK for the Marantz was below the price for black in the states to the point that it funded the transformer. And yes, it comes with a full function remote. The remote should also control the Marantz CD player but I went with a streaming device instead.

It is a great reciever

I was pleasantly surprised that this new Marantz integrated amp had a very similar sound to my beloved old 1979/1980 Marantz receiver, which is now finally beginning to have a few issues, and I begrudgingly decided to replace. The new facade also matches the front of my Marantz CD player from a few years ago, so being that they're stacked, my OCD was also happily satisfied.A less than pleasant surprise however, was finding out that this was a UK/Euro version of the model, which has a very different power plug from here in the U.S. of A., and requires 220v power... So I had to procure a transformer ($100) to be able to even turn it on. Not exactly what I'd planned for.But other than that (and having to remember to get the transformer up and running first, every time you want to use this), so far it has been seamless in usage, easily connected to my other components and even using it for Bluetooth, which obviously my old Marantz had to use an external adapter for. The power is perfect for my smallish, dedicated "Music Room", and as mentioned, it has that signature warm, crisp Marantz sound that I've been such a huge fan of for decades.I feel it is actually a 5-star product on its own, but the whole Euro-model thing makes me knock it down to only 4 here because of the Hassle Factor. I'll let you be the judge of your own review star ratings based on its tremendous quality, and will just say that in this price range, there is nothing I'd rather own, and I highly, highly recommend this one (again, if you're aware of and okay with the transformer situation!).

This is a UK based product. Per manufacturer recommendation it is not advised for use in the US
