  "account": "Marantz has introduced a new compact mini hi-fi hub called the MCR 60n. This innovative device combines the functionality of a streamer and an amplifier, making it ideal for those with limited shelf space or smaller homes. Despite its name, the MCR 60n is not exclusively aimed at playing My Chemical Romance or Manchester-based songs.\n\nThe Marantz MCR 60n is designed to be a space-saving solution compared to traditional hi-fi stacks. While the exact dimensions are not disclosed, the images accompanying the announcement suggest that its footprint is notably smaller than a turntable. The device is expected to launch on September 15, 2026.\n\nThere are two versions of the MCR 60n available. In the US, the standard model will be priced at $1,000 (approximately £740 or AU$1,500). In Europe, a variant featuring a DAB radio is priced at £800 (around $1,100 or AU$1,160). Although the MCR 60n may not be the most budget-friendly option, its extensive feature set and prestigious brand reputation may justify the cost for enthusiasts seeking a compact and advanced hi-fi experience.",
  "summary": "The Marantz MCR 60n is a bijou hi-fi system that'll slip into any home, yet offers a range of handy features.",
