While Marantz can be proud of the PM6007’s lineage, for true iconic clout it’s hard to beat the 3020, which made such a splash at its launch in 1978, the ripples can still be felt today some 23 years after it clocked up more sales than any amp in history.

It helps, of course, that the core nomenclature lives on in NAD’s current range of integrateds. Physically and technically, the D 3020 V2 is a very different animal to its famous forbear being Class D, much smaller and possessing a form factor that can be stood upright as well as laid on its side, but the sonic ambition is the same: setting the bar for sound and value.
