    The amplifier has enough wattage to drive practically any speaker, including my Bowers & Wilkins 704 s3 towers and my Martin Logan Motion 15i bookshelf speakers. I have this plugged permanently into my office production PC, running a 2.1 system with the virtual sound mode helping to fill the entire room with sound. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the reliance on the Heos app (which cannot be installed onto a PC or TV), and lack of physical controls on the device past play/pause, forward and backwards. Lack of volume control, input select, etc without either your phone or your tv remote mean you're reliant on your portable devices to control it. Not a huge deal for a STREAMING amp, as you probably will be working around that anyways, but it is annoying nonetheless.

    Amazing piece of equipment, it drives my Pro-ject speakers effortlessly. It's very dynamic and the spatial quality is very good. Bass quality was definitely improved after the last Heos update. My Rel subwoofer loves this amp and so do I. It's my first streamer and the ability to control your audio from your seating position is definitely a plus. Movies sound great in the virtual mode, it's unbelievable the sound coming out of a 2.1 system. My only negative is I think that Marantz should have supplied a remote control for basic functions. If your looking for a streaming amp and your budget allows, I highly recommend this amp.

    The unit that I purchased makes a “pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft…” noise with a lot of static. It seems a little better at higher volumes. Overall the noise makes the M1 unusable. So, it will be going back.
