Is It Easy To Return An Item?
Yes, simply give us a call at 888.899.8776 or you can email our support team at support@audioadvice.com. Many times our team of experts can help figure out why the product might not be working like you expected and get things fixed over the phone, so don’t be surprised if we ask a few questions, we love troubleshooting!
If our tech help can not make you happy, we will email over a return shipping label with a Return Number.
Hopefully, you saved all of the original item’s box and packaging inserts. You will want to pack back up your return or exchange in the same way it came out of the original box. Once you have everything packaged correctly, tape the box on the top and bottom to assure it stays together. If Audio Advice shipped the item to you inside a second box, it's a good idea to use that same extra box to help prevent damage on its way back to us. To avoid it accidentally coming back to you, use a magic marker to cross out the old shipping label or just tear it off.
The return shipping label we send you will have our address on it, just make sure you take the box to the right shipper (UPS, FEDEX, or USPS) as per the label.
If you are close to one of our stores, please let us know if it is more convenient for you to return it to us directly. You will still need to get a return number by contacting us and shipping and/or restocking charges may apply.
When Will I See My Refund?
It usually takes around 7-14 days for the refund to show up on the payment method you used. We do inspect all returns for damage and accuracy of the item inside the box before issuing a refund. Some items may be subject to shipping and restocking fees.
Can I Exchange My Purchase For Something Different?
Sometimes those big speakers just don’t fit in the room or you might have bought a small subwoofer and later found out you’d love a bigger one. If you would like to make an exchange within 30 days of receiving your item, just give us a call at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com and we will help work out the details. Additional shipping charges and return costs may apply.
How Do I Cancel An Order?
If the item has already shipped out or is a special order item, it is not possible to cancel the order. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com to start the return process.
What If I Find Shipping Damage?
We need to know right away about any shipping damage. Please contact us at 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com within 48 hours of your delivery so we can get the ball rolling on making things right. It’s very helpful to take some pictures and email them to us if possible.
Can I Refuse A Shipment?
You can, but unless the item is damaged, shipping and restocking fees will be deducted from your refund. If your item arrives damaged and you are lucky enough to be there, snap some quick pics and refuse the order. Then contact us so we can get a replacement on the way.
What Happens If My Order Is Defective?
This is actually pretty rare, most consumer electronics work fine out of the box 99.9% of the time. We’d like for you to contact us first by calling 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com so we can help get to the bottom of things. If your item is indeed defective during the first 30 days, we can usually exchange it for a new, replacement unit.
What About Service After 30 Days?
Audio Advice has a great relationship with all of our brands and can help you with warranty service by the brand after our 30-day guarantee period. Even after the warranty expires, we can arrange for service by the brand on products purchased from Audio Advice. Just call 888.899.8776 or email support@audioadvice.com.
How Do You Determine A Restocking Fee?
You may not believe it, but sometimes we receive items back that were put in the box with zero packaging and are completely destroyed or are missing many of the pieces that came with the item. We also track serial numbers and will get back different serial numbers. We’ve even seen different items than what we shipped out be returned. However, it’s very important to package your return properly so that nothing goes missing or gets damaged in shipping, which will result in a restocking fee or even no refund at all. If a product is opened and the market value of the product is reduced, then a restocking fee may be applied to the cost of restocking and the reduced market value of the product. The bottom line is if you treat us fairly, we will do the same.
Audio Advice strives to provide industry-leading support and service while also maintaining the lowest prices available on products for our customers. We work hard with our vendors to bring our customers the best products at each price point. As a part of that process, we work with our vendors to provide the lowest pricing in our stores and on our website.
Our prices should always be the same as any other authorized dealer, including big-box retailers and major online retailers.
If you believe that you have found a lower advertised price from a legitimate authorized seller, call us and let us know so we can make sure we can correct any inadvertent error on our side. As a matter of policy, we update our prices automatically if a vendor changes its authorized pricing policies, so we generally have the best prices all the time. Increasingly, there are knock-off copies of products online, usually sold by non-authorized dealers.
Please be sure that the item meets the following conditions:
- The item is brand new, in stock, and available for purchase
- The item has the identical model number, color, etc as the item on our site.
- The seller is an authorized dealer
As always, our goal is to provide a terrific customer experience, including industry low prices. We appreciate your support.
Overview
MODEL 60n is a network integrated amplifier engineered for exceptional hi-fi performance and comprehensive connectivity. Stream in high-resolution from today’s most popular music services via HEOS – and control it all from the app or voice commands to Apple Siri or Google Assistant. With Phono MM, optical, and coaxial inputs, connection to your CD player or turntable is effortless. Add the speakers of your choice, plus an optional subwoofer, and enjoy all the nuance of the Marantz signature sound. MODEL 60n also delivers superior TV sound clarity, sharper dialogue, and even an enhanced gaming experience via HDMI ARC.
This article is an overview of the new Marantz Model 60n network audio integrated amplifier. Ever since 1952, when Saul Marantz sold his first piece of gear, Marantz has been known for making audio equipment that has a very sweet musical sound. Music lovers and audiophiles have loved their sound over the past seven decades. The Marantz look and sound have also been cherished over multiple generations, with vintage Marantz gear continuing to increase in value over time.
A few years ago, Marantz decided to create a new series that harkened back to the classic 1970 Marantz model 30 integrated amplifier designed and engineered by Saul Marantz himself. This would normally have been quite a tall task, but Marantz had a secret weapon called the Marantz Sound Master. After Saul Marantz retired, the owners of Marantz were very clever to start training young engineers on how to identify the classic Marantz sound. These Marantz Sound Masters spend their time listening to engineering prototypes to make sure they have the sound music lovers expect from Marantz.
The first two 30 pieces of gear had the look, feel, sound, and build quality Marantz was famous for, and when we first tested them back in 2020, we were very impressed. Marantz followed up with more models in this series, but we have been waiting for a more affordable model to show up that would appeal to a wider audience. The Model 60n is just what many music lovers have been looking for. A fairly affordable integrated amplifier with network streaming and analog inputs to be the centerpiece of a great music system.
When we first took the 60n out of the box, we were surprised to see how much it weighed for its relatively modest price in the world of high-end integrated amplifiers with streaming. This guy weighs in at almost 29 pounds, which immediately tells us it has a pretty massive power supply and some serious build quality.
The outer appearance is just what you expect from the models in this lineup. The early Marantz integrated amps had a very symmetrical look with a mirror image layout of the controls on the right and left side. Many of the original Marantz pieces also sported a round porthole-like meter in the center of the unit, which is also present on the Model 60n for display functions.
Just like the other models in this series, the 60n will be available in a black or silver gold finish. We also love the look of the raised front panel sitting on top of what looks like a carbon fiber body. But of course, good looks are only part of the story, and you’ll also want great sound and features in a piece that will become the heart of your two-channel audio system.
Taking a look at the features, there is not much lacking in the 60n. You’ll find three analog inputs plus a moving magnet phono input. There is a preamp output should you wish to add more power later, with a separate power amp and a mono subwoofer output. Digital inputs include optical, coax, HDMI-ARC, and USB A. These are high-res audio capable of up to 24bit 192K and 11.2 megahertz DSD. And with all of this, you also get network streaming via the HEOS ecosystem. HEOS was developed years ago by Denon, a sister company of Marantz. It has a pretty big variety of music services on board and also is compatible with Airplay 2, so if your favorite is missing, you can easily use Airplay 2. Bluetooth receive and transmit are built in as well. These connections will allow you to have a turntable, CD player, two more analog sources, and probably more digital sources than anyone would ever have. We especially appreciate the HDMI-ARC input for TV audio. This means your TV remote on a compatible TV will be able to control the volume of the Model 60n.
If you are new to the world of separate audio components and all this sounds daunting, know that the experts at Audio Advice have your back. Should you have any technical questions relating to the setup of your 60n or any gear for that matter that you purchased from Audio Advice, we are here to help you with real live people who live and breathe performance audio and home theater.
When we first saw this feature rich set of inputs, we wondered where they cut corners to produce the 60n for such an affordable price. Well, it appears they did not! We expected to see a standard power supply but the Model 60n has a large toroidal power transformer. The internal layout is also a more costly design with the sensitive audio components well isolated from the power supply and extruded aluminum heat sinks for the output transistors.
The amplifier section is a Class AB current feedback with push pull design rated at 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 80 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Seeing all of this we then wondered if Marantz had used a less expensive version of their famous HDAM circuitry in the 60n. Again, the answer is no, they did not and use their HDAM SA2/HDAM SA3 technology. HDAM stands for Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module. Many years ago, the Marantz engineers became disappointed with off the shelf op amp circuits that had evolved to be more cost effective but worse sounding. They developed their own discrete audio circuitry with hand selected components to deliver the best sound. Those Marantz Sound Masters played a big role in this tech as their ears played a big role in product selection and Marantz has used their HDAM tech in the better gear ever since.
So, it would seem Marantz has knocked the ball out of the park with the Model 60n, but we did have a nitpick with the subwoofer out. Unlike the 40n and M1 streaming amps that are above and below the 60n in terms of price, the subwoofer crossover is fixed at 150 Hz instead of being variable like the other two models. We think they did this to keep it completely analog for vinyl enthusiasts who prefer a pure analog amplifier, as having variable crossover at this price point is not practical to do in the analog domain. But for those of us who plan to use mostly digital sources, it would have been nice to have a way to vary the subwoofer output. But that is really the only thing we can fault the 60n on, as it packs in a whole lot of great Marantz tech and build quality for its price.
We have also reviewed the newer Marantz M1 streaming amp and the Model 40n, which are $500 less for the M1 and $1000 more for the 40n as of September 2024. We thought it would be helpful for those of you considering the Model 60n to look at what you get from each of these models in comparison.
We were pretty impressed with all the M1 offered for the price. It had a lot of great features and sounded pretty darn good. If you plan to use your digital centerpiece mostly for enhanced TV sound from a pair of stereo speakers and/or a subwoofer, the M1 is a really good choice as it also has night mode and dialog enhancement, which are not on the Model 60n. And it's got selectable crossovers for the subwoofer which is nice.
But, as good as this made in Japan small streaming amplifier is, the Model 60n is just in a whole other realm from a sonic standpoint. And that is to be expected as the M1 is made to be tucked away and weighs in at just a little under 5 pounds while the 60n has over 6 times the heft with its much more massive amplifier section. There really isn’t anywhere in an audio comparison the M1 sounds better than the 60n. The HDAM circuitry in the 60n and it's far better amplifier components make it no contest. So if you have the space and budget for the 60n, we think its well worth the extra $500, plus it also just looks so cool too!
The Model 40n, which came out in 2022, is a more interesting comparison. At first glace to us, they looked far too similar to justify the extra cost for the 40n. That is until we dug into things a little deeper. There is an 8 pound weight difference in the two models which is attributed to the power supply and chassis. You’ll get a bigger toroidal power transformer in the 40n, and the chassis itself is much more sophisticated, with more layers and over twice the thickness of the 60n. The output transistors sit on copper plates in the 40n as well.
Marantz spent more time hand-selecting the components in the HDAM circuitry in the 40n which also gives it an edge. The 40n has Marantz Musical Digital Filtering, which is not present in the 60n either. Plus you get variable crossovers for the sub out. And if it matters to you, the 40n is is made at the Marantz factory in Shirakawa, Japan, while the 60n is manufactured in Vietnam.
While it is only rated at 10 watts per channel more than the 60n, the 40n just sounds more dynamic and can control harder to drive speakers better. But, with all that said, the 60n is one heck of a value. If you have harder to drive speakers and or a larger room, you should seriously consider the 40n if it's within your budget, but the difference in sound between the 40n and 60n is not as great as that between the M1 and the 60n.
