The Return of the “Challenge” System

Without question, the best use of a thousand bucks we can think of.

 

With the duo of the new Marantz CD 5003 single disc CD player, fighting well above its weight class, and the SR 4023 AM/FM receiver delivering 65 watts of old school, stereophonic goodness into Paradigm’s latest iteration of the well regarded Atom 2-way bookshelf monitor, true affordable sonic nirvana is a reality (again).  Great sound, simplicity in operation and pride of ownership (the new Marantz M1 cosmetic is pretty swell!) at a price that’s pretty tough to beat.

 

We ‘challenge’ you to put together a system more musically satisfying for the money. 

 

Drop by for a listen; we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
