In Reply to: RE: Citation V and Marantz 8b question posted by AJ on January 05, 2015 at 10:58:35
I am trying to decide which of the three to end up with. The Mc225, Marantz 8b or Citation V.
For a while there I was thinking of a new Cronus. But after listening to my Sherwood S5000, I realized I should just stick with the sound I prefer. Vintage tube sound. So I decided not to go with a new tubed amp.
How would you describe the "general" sound signatures of these three?
I know asking that is basically an asinine question. Like how "blue" is that sky???? But heck, give it a try.
Follow Ups:
If someone gifts me with the Mac or the Marantz I'll be able to answer that question.
I love my Citation V, but I think I would swap it for either of those other candidates in good shape without even a listening test based on the silly money they bring.

Exactly
While the Citation 5 may sound better than the 8B,the monetary value of the 8B greatly exceeds that of the Citation 5,enough to where you could sell the 8B and possibly buy two of the Citation 5s.

or better still, ONE Citation II.
