airtime,
at one time, I owned every solid state amp from Marantz in that era, including the 500, 510M, 250, 250M, 240, 32, 16, 15, 16b, etc.
By far the 15, 16, and 16b were the best sounding of the bunch even in stock form. With some parts upgrades, those amps can really sing.

Funny but I am seriously looking at the 15.
Don't get me wrong the others are wonderful. But I'm up to my eyeballs in cutting edge wonderful stereos that honestly are light years ahead of ANY of these. What I am looking for is a vintage piece with the "classic" vintage sound.
Hmmm - sounds nice
I own and use a Model 15 Amplifier. I can compare it to other amps I own including Dynaco ST70 & Mark IIIs and Conrad Johnson MV75A1. The best sounding overall is the pooged ST70 followed closely by the Model 15. Marantz captured the "tube sound" in the Model 15 with a nice punchy bass. I love it including the little green power lamps per channel.
