    PICK ONE: Marantz 5220 or Pioneer CT-F9191?

    I have a Marantz 5220 and a Pioneer CT-F9191. Getting both serviced. Curious if you had to keep one which one would you choose and why? I love the look of both of them. Maybe prefer the look of the Marantz VU meters being two tone. But it’s super hard for me to pick a favorite.
