why yeah , why are the only discussions i see here are all about either the 2230 or 2270 or 2285 etc etc etc .
and very little about the amps that really rocked the world like PM 94 , PM 8 etc.
regardless of this concern of mine , im happy that i do own a 2230 .

Perhaps it has something to do with the relative number of them that were made?

There were some where around 185,000 2230 made. I don't know the production numbers for the Esotec series but it is probably much lower.

I personally have more interest in separates the receivers.

For any home audio system paired with efficient speakers, the 2230 is instant "Audiophile" on a modest budget. Really, really enjoy mine too!

Funny to read that there was approx 185.000 2230's made (where did you get that number from - is that info confirmed?)

I have a few 2230's (5). One of them is bearing the number 1037 (etched face an all that) - which should make it the 37'th made?
