Marantz SA-KI Pearl Lite (￡1000)

摘要

Following the 'Kl Pearl' SACD/CD player and amplifier duo designed by Ken Ishiwata to celebrate his 30th anniversary at Marantz [see HFN, Sept '09] comes a more affordable 'Kl Pearl Lite' player/amp combo. Prices are ￡1000 for each component rather than ￡2500 each for the limited edition Pearls. At 7.8kg the SA-KI Pearl Lite is half the weight of the Pearl player, the build being less sumptuous. Cone is the Pearl's sexy front panel illumination and 5mm-thick aluminium top plate while the Lite model comes with a standard Marantz remote handset.
