I had a silver-face Marantz a couple of years ago, the model escapes me but it was a late-70's unit I think, 2255b or 2265b possibly, still classic and before Marantz changed and made less expensive units.
I was happy with the mid and highs but bass was somewhat lacking, and I sold it on Ebay for a nice profit if I remember correctly.
So my question is, is there any difference in sound between the newer silver faced units like the one I had and the older dark blue plastic face style of the early-mid 70's? I don't need a receiver to put out a lot of watts as my speakers are efficient, only am concerned with the sonics. Any opinions would be much appreciated!
