Marantz PM-17 KI Signature is an integrated amplifier. This is a tuned version of the PM-17 amplifier. On the front panel, the gold plate bears the signature of the legendary designer Ken Ishiwata, who was associated with the Marantz brand for years until his death in 2019. The amplifier is powered by a toroidal toroidal power transformer, supplying 45 watts (8 Ohm, 20 Hz). 20 kHz) power per channel. It is a highly valued amplifier. Despite the fact that he is over 20 years old, it is very difficult to find him. If it appears somewhere, it will not be below 500 €, most often the prices are around 700-800 euros (ebay etc.)
