The Marantz Model 15 Solid State Stereo Power Amplifier is an instrument without precedend in performance and rugged reliability.

"If any amplifier can be termed 'indestructible'. This is the one."

- Julian Hirsch, renowned audio authority

Two independant and identical monophonic amplifiers, each with its own power supply, are bracked together and mounted to a handsome gold anodized front panel that matches both the Model 7T preamplifier and Model 10B tuner. Because the channels are completely isolated, you suffer no power loss, "cross-talk', or other interactions that oftentimes occur from simultaneous operation of both channels with only one power supply. The amplifiers are direct-coupled, providing instantaneous recovery from overload and full rated power throughout the full frequency range. At any audio frequency, and on any output impedance from 4 to 16 ohms, the Model 15 is lower than on any other currently available power amplifier. You can use the Model 15 with any loudspeaker on the market, from a 4 Ω acoustic suspension system to the 16 Ω electrostatic. And, a built-in fool-proof protection circuit gives instantaneous and unobtrusive protection without causing annoying program interruptions.

All of these features combine to bring you completely reliable operation - year in and year out. The performance of the marantz Model 15 establishes wholly new standards of technical excellence for amplifiers of all types.
