Marantz M-CR503 - Pros & Cons

very good - the curved chassis and symmetrical layout
decent small speakers with plenty of drive
The rear panel controls are also reasonably sturdy and well laid out
design are also pretty good
The build quality is perfectly acceptable if not truly outstanding for the price

it lacked a little too much soul
It may not display this or other websites correctly
Melody X is not a completely clean sheet piece of design
Melody X starts piling on the features and the modernity
only piece of functionality missing from the app though
they are not carbon copies of one another

Home review

The Marantz M-CR502 is very stylish indeed and its lean, driving attack makes it worthy of an audition, especially now that it costs £100 less

Marantz promises that the Melody X is ‘True Hi-Fi’ in a compact and user friendly container. Is this the affordable one box of choice?

Review: Marantz Melody Music MCR-503

De Melody Music van Marantz oogt niet enkel zeer mooi, maar heeft qua klank en mogelijkheden heel wat in z'n mars. Zo kan je zelfs luidsprekers bi-ampen.
