Most probably so. It would be worth knowing more detailed specifications of the Marantz amp section. Manufacturers have very different methodologies and motives in measuring and promoting their specifications. Current (amperes) and damping factors are also important factors when selecting an amplifier, especially if you will be pushing higher SPL's. Horse power is great, but it's where you are on the Torque Curve that is important if you want to pass with confidence.
