Onkyo Integra M-5030 + Pre-amp P-3030

[bdmcn71]

Hello all! Looking for feedback and info on my setup. I'm torn whether or not to swap out for all-in-one vintage Marantz or stay put. Your opinions and feedback are certainly welcome. I need guidance!

I have this combo: Onkyo Integra Power Amp M-5030 and Pre-amp P-3030. Also, an ADS P2 turntable. Also, running this into two late 60s KLH Model Five.

Only visibile wear are main buttons. All lights work, and dial posts were cleans a few months ago. This beast works perfectly. This combo is in near perfect condition.

So ... thoughts? Attached is photo.

Thanks in advance!

I have the M-5030 driving a set of DQ-10s. I'd only swap out that M-5030 for a Marantz if it had big meters too (like a 140).

Me,I'd stick with the Onkyo rig.
I'm just not a Marantz guy.

It's just one of those "guy" things,,,like cars (ie: GM vs. Ford vs. Mopar vs. Imports/Exotics)...

Just my .02¢

agree totally...I remember when Marantz was USA build quality...then mid to late 70's it went overseas...Sony Superscope rings a bell...still looked cool ...quadrial 4 meters blah blah but went down in the build quality wize...it survives to this day on looks not quality

No discussion here - I agree, stick with what you have.
