Purchased this gem from AK'er welcomdmat a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share
how amazed I am with the sound.
Owned and listened to a lot of Marantz gear, (2230, 2240, 2250, 2250b, 2270, 2285b, 2325, 4230,
4240, 4270, 4300 & a 250 / 3300 pairing )
The 250/3300 are my favorites (paired with Krites modded Klipsch Chorus II's.)
But this "little" receiver (paired with re-capped new Large Advents in my office)
is absolutely blowing me away and my new second favorite Marantz!
There's a sweetness, detail, & depth to the tonality, with a nice punch to the bass.
As far as I can tell it is all original (except for new lamps) which is even more astounding,
considering the electrolytics are 44 years old.
She's definitely living on borrowed time (a full re-cap is planned in the future). But for now
just enjoying the heck out of this new addition.
