Is amplifier will be good with dynaudio evoke 20?

The MM7025 is capable of 170w per channel output when presented with a 6-ohm impedance. This would exceed the recommended power rating of 20-100w per each Wharfedale Denton 80.

I was hoping to buy this amp to power my klipsch rp-5000's. Will running 140 watts do any damage as spec sheet from klipsch calls for 125 rms? Also, i know i would use you my current receivers preout where would that (RCA) input get connected in the mm7025? looking at the back i dk t think there i didnt see a rca input.

Unfortunately no. The Dynaudio Evoke 30 are 4 ohm speakers and the Marantz MM7025 is only stable down to 6 ohms meaning the Evoke 30s would overheat the amp. If you'd like a recommendation for those speakers give us a call at 1-800-324-9695 and we'd be happy to make a better, more personalized recommendation!

So there are RCA inputs on that power amp, there are located directly above the XLR inputs. The left and right are separate from each other which can make a little less than obvious. In regards to powering your speakers, you could still use this power amp to run your Klipsch towers however you would need to be mindful of how hard you run those speakers. Out of an abundance of caution, it's understandable to get closer to suggested RMS range though.

What is the bias class ?

[ DENNIS Sep 15, 2022 ]

I have a Marantz SR7011 with Bowers and Wilkins 703 S2 towers, HTM 71 S2 Center, two SVS PB 2000 Subs, and Polk FXi A6 sides and rears (waiting to afford swapping for B&W sides and rears). Current setup sounds great at higher volume. Wondering if adding this power amp would make much of a difference for home theater and music?

While not specifically listed, this amp is most likely using emitter based bias as it is not a class A tube amp. I hope this helps Rosemary!

Can I hookup a m-cr612 cd-rec to the mm7025?

Hello Rich! Thank you for reaching out to us and that is a fantastic question. Using a power amp, especially one like that Marantz MM7025 would make a big difference with your system. You will get more power and better performance out of the speakers connected as opposed to running them directly off of the SR7011 so whether you are using the full theater set up or just music, you will appreciate the difference even at low to moderate volumes.

[ JOHN R Apr 10, 2021 ]

Would this amp be good to power my Klipsch RP-8060FA and the the Klipsch RP-504C center speaker? both are rated up to 150 watts RMS? thank you

Yes, the Marantz M-CR612 has preamp outputs to allow you to connect the MM7025 to it.

[ ALLISON May 09, 2021 ] Staff

[ ANSON Dec 09, 2020 ]

Is there a way to connect the Marantz PM7000N to the MM7025 and use the MM7025 as the power source for the speakers?

This Amp would work great for your RP-8060FA Speakers! I run my SVS Ultra towers with this Amp and is Awesome. running my center speaker to my AV Receiver.

[ DAVID Dec 11, 2020 ]

The Klipsch efficiency should make this a great amp to drive them. I drive KEF R7's which have an efficiency much lower than the Klipsch and I do have to crank it a bit (60%) to make them really come alive, the MM7025 is rated to 140 w rms into 8 ohms, so you should be good to go.

[ JAN H Dec 11, 2020 ]

It should be, I am driving KEF R7's, in a normal stereo configuration, and although I need to really crank it to have them come alive, the efficiency of the Klipsch speakers should

[ JAN H Dec 11, 2020 ]

It is a 2 chanel amp. It would power either the floor speakers or the center very well. I use it to bi-amp old Paradigm floor speakers. I love the amp. It brought life back to my speakers. Nice clean power for the price.

[ ALAN Dec 11, 2020 ]

[ Paul Dec 08, 2020 ]

can Yamaha mixer audio outputs connect directly to this amp or a pre-amp is required?

I don't own the PM7000N. I own the PM8006. There are pre-outs on the PM8006 that I do not see on the PM7000N. I would suggest checking with Aaron at Crutchfield to confirm. He is good and if he does not know he will find out quickly.

[ TOM Dec 08, 2020 ]

There is no preamp out with adjustable gain on the PM7000N.

[ DAVE Dec 08, 2020 ]

[ Alvin Jun 29, 2020 ]

I would like to connect the variable rca output of the na6006 to the single ended unbalanced rca input of the mm7025 and thus drive a Klipsch rp8000f loudspeaker. Would it work ? If yes, do you think that hi-res flac and dsd files from the front panel usb in would sound nice and what kind of cable should be used to connect the two Marantz devices ? Thank You.

It is connected in the pre-out of the Yamaha. I use the Marantz for my front speakers. Drives them nicely.

But then again it looks as if 6006 has volume control. So you would not need a preamp after all.

[ CASEY Jun 09, 2020 ]

Well now that I look a little deeper, you would need a preamp to go between. The MM 7025 had no volume control it's just an amp. So again you would need a preamp. Hope that helps.

[ CASEY Jun 09, 2020 ]

Yes that would work. I would use audio quest cables.

Where or how do I hook up my powered sub ?

[ SEAN Mar 03, 2020 ]

6 answers

You can't. There is no output for a subwoofer.

[ CASEY Apr 02, 2020 ]

This amplifier does not have a subwoofer connection. It is 2 channels with 140 watts of power per channel. It delivers beautiful, balanced sound and effortlessly drives my Martin Logan 60s main speakers. I use a Denon 3500 receiver to drive my center, rear channel, and subwoofer speakers. I would highly recommend the Marantz if you have another power source to drive your subwoofer.

[ Joseph Apr 01, 2020 ]

You can not do that. This is just a amplifier only.

[ ERIC Apr 01, 2020 ]

This amp is not designed for a sub pre out. You need an a/v receiver w/pre outs or a stand alone pre amp.

[ RICHARD Apr 01, 2020 ]

Some subs accept a connection directly from the speaker outputs. If that is not the case, you may need a 3rd device. In my case that device is an ADI-2 DAC and I use the RCA outputs from the DAC to feed my sub. But it does not have to be an expensive DAC. Anything that accepts the low level signal and splits into two would work if it has the correct connectors. For example, if your sub accepts RCA inputs it could be an RCA audio splitter. Then, you can feed one pair of the splitter's output to your amp's inputs another to your subs inputs.

[ RICHARD Feb 14, 2020 ]

Hi Mark, thank you for your question. Since the Marantz MM7025 does not have volume control, you would need a preamp to gain the ability to connect other devices to this amp, including an AM/FM tuner. Feel free to chat with us on line or by phone at 1-800-324-9695. We will be happy to go over this setup with you, and offer personalized recommendations based on your needs.

[ JESSICA Feb 07, 2020 ] Staff

A pre-amp is needed to connect to this amp prior to connecting any devices.(unless they have a gain setting of some sort which is usually only on high-end CD players)

[ DAVE Feb 07, 2020 ]

no, there would be no volume control.

[ CASEY Feb 07, 2020 ]

I believe a tuner would need to run through a preamp. If you have a receiver with pre outs, you can use the pre outs with this amp. A receiver includes a tuner. That's what I am doing. Hope that helps.

Is there significant improvement in sound quality if the MM7025 amp is connected to the Marantz SR7011 for music w/Klipsch Chorus II speakers listening at low-mid volume levels?

[ JEROME Sep 14, 2019 ]

Have a Marantz 2238b and purchased a Marantz 140 watt per channel to power my original Klipsh Heresys. Can I plug the power amp into one of the AC receptors in back of 2238b?

I DO NOT USE THOSE COMPONENTS WITH THE AMPLIFIER.

[ Kenneth Oct 10, 2019 ]

There will not be any significant improvement in sound quality but the MM2075 will pair nicely with your SR7011 and take a significant amount of the power demands away from your receiver which should help with potential clipping and overheating issues. The MM2075 delivers powerful yet nuanced sound quality and will definitely be an excellent complement to your SR7011.

[ Joseph Oct 09, 2019 ]

Mine is connected to a Marantz SR 7010 and the sound Is outstanding

[ ROBERT Oct 09, 2019 ]

Great question. I have not heard the Chorus speakers so I can not attest to sound or quality of sound coming out of them via the 7011. They are really efficient speakers, 101db, so you don't need a lot of power However, I have found myself and have been told by others with much more first hand knowledge about this sort of thing that anytime, any speaker has a dedicated power source, like the 7025 (or really any dedicated amp) it will produce a better sound quality than trying to boost it with an internal amp from an AVR and then adding an amp. Less "noise" in the signal + more direct path = better sound. Hope that helps

[ JASON Oct 09, 2019 ]

[ MARK A Jun 13, 2019 ]

Can I run 2 sets of speakers with this amp?

I wouldn't recommend it. The best way to power any amplifiers is with a power conditioner, especially from power spikes that do happen.

[ CASEY Jun 20, 2019 ]

If I remember correctly, the Marantz 2238B receptor doesn't have a ground do the plug won't fit. Given the older circuitry I wouldn't chance it anyway.

[ LOUIS Jun 19, 2019 ]

[ RODNEY Nov 25, 2017 ]

This isn't explicitly rated for 4-Ohm speakers, but from what I've been told this will still work with 4-Ohm speakers provided it has proper ventilation. Has anyone used this with 4-Ohm speakers?

You can as long as the speakers have a 12 ohm or higher impedence. If they are speakers with a lower impedence, then can only power one set. My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=101

Hello! Im wondering if could connect this one directly to a Marantz Na 6005? It says that the Na "lacks preamp outputs" what does this mean? Best regards Bjørn

I have used it with both 4ohm and 5ohm speakers...also depends on receiver, or pre-amp you are using it with.

Since we haven't received any answers from other customers on your question at this time, I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. While it's true the Marantz MM7025 amp should work with 4-ohm speakers (under the right conditions), our Advisors can help determine whether this would be the right choice to work in your specific system. Thanks!

[ Audiobully Aug 02, 2017 ]

Can you use this amp as mono to each front tower speaker?

I think not. You would have to have some sort of output to connect to a preamp before linking to the power amp. I f there is an output option on the NA I would assume you could link to the power amp via an auxlliary input.

[ TIMOTHY Aug 02, 2017 ]

[ NUMAN Oct 12, 2016 ]

Will this amplifier work with the Yamaha R-S700 receiver?

Yes you it can send mono to each front tower speaker as long as the input device hooked up to the amp is sending mono to both speakers. Basically it is a pass-thru from input device to speaker so whatever signal is sent to the right speaker is what is amplified to the right speaker. Whatever signal is sent to the left speaker is what is amplified to the left speaker. The only change to the signals sent is that they are amplified, (made louder), so that the input device doesn't have to have its own amplifiers for each channel. Hope that this answers the question to your satisfaction, and helps. ;o)

[ CHARLES Oct 13, 2016 ]

I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you want to only connect one speaker to the amp, vice two, then yes is the answer. An amp is a pretty dump device. It merely amplifies the sound, and maybe cleans up the sinewave of the output from your receiver or preamp device. I have a preamp and eight speakers (no center channel). I use the 7025 for my front left and right. Then another 7 channel amp for the other six surround speakers.

[ Todd Oct 13, 2016 ]

Yes

[ Nancy Oct 13, 2016 ]

Yes you can. I would check your speaker power maxium as you dont want to overpower them and risk damage. Your tuner/reciever will need to have enough pre out terminals to send signal to two amps.

I have components (DVD player, satellite radio and am old cassette tape player) hooked into an NAD pre-amp/tuner powered by the Marantz. Does your receiver have an integral amplifier? if so that may be a problem. If the receiver puts out an un-amplified signal I would think it would

[ Patricia Aug 05, 2016 ]

This is a question for the experts at Crutchfield. As per the "about tech" Website, "...the R-S700 (includes a) multizone/multi-source feature, which allows a listener in Zone 2 to hear a different source than the main room. The receiver's non-powered Zone 2 output requires an amp and two speakers in the second zone. It comes with a separate Zone 2 remote control to operate the receiver from another room. Note: Multizone operation requires running speaker wires and IR (infrared remote) control wires from Zone 1 to Zone 2, which may require professional installation." The Marantz MM7025 will provide very good to excellent power amplification for zone two. Although it has a remote control connection via an RCA plug cable, the Yamaha uses IR. Given this, the remote operation may not work. Bill M.

[ WILLIAM R Aug 04, 2016 ]

That all depends. Please follow the link above, and see if this will help answer your question. The MM7025 is a two channel amp. The Yamaha R-S700 appears to be a 2 or 4 channel receiver, depending on whether your speakers are 4, 6 or 8 ohms rated. I'm not quite sure that you will gain much with the addition of the MM7025, if all you are using only 2 channels. Best to check the web site at audioholics(dot)com for best practices.

[ Todd Aug 03, 2016 ]

If your amp has main out and in yes.other factors are speakers. Over all very satisfied with my purchase very solid amp. Clear with good punch. Component compatibility will always be a factor. Your system for me can only be as good as your speakers

[ Robert Aug 03, 2016 ]

[ mark May 04, 2015 ]

I see that the instructions say this amp goes into standby after 30 minutes of not sensing input signal, but will it turn on automatically when it senses signal again? basically, does this amp have an signal sensing auto on feature?

To bi-amp with that Sony model, you will want to use the Sony to power the high frequency section of your Polks and then connect the Marantz to the zone 2 / "B" speaker outputs of the receiver, to drive the woofers. You will have to go into the set-up menu and select "A+B" speakers. Sony rates the receiver into 6 Ohm loads. All that means is you should be confident that it will drive speakers that are rated at 6 Ohms (or higher) safely. Only analog signals will be output from the "zone 2 / B speaker" output. That should not be an issue.

[ JAMES May 05, 2015 ]

So frustrating it has no auto on feature... I have 5 airplay zones in my home and need and amps I can leave installed in a cabinet that turn on and off automatically when signal is sensed from an Airport Express.

I have the mm7025 hooked up to a Marantz receiver there is a remote control cable as well as signal cables to the amp from the receiver. When I turn the receiver on the amp comes on .5 sec delay. the amp stays on as long as the receiver is on. It does go into standby mode when there is no audio signal present, but when in standby the ON blue light stays lit and the fan shuts down. The Amp is truly amazing as far as construction, twice the amp for the money compared to other brands..

[ GEOFFREY B Jul 03, 2014 ]

I have seen no evidence that it has an auto on feature. My answer would be no to your specific question. However, it does have the capability to install a "trigger", which detects that another device has been turned on. For instance, I have a series of amps, only have to turn on one, the rest are automatically triggered.
