In Reply to: RE: How much would you offer for a Marantz 8b be worth posted by Eli Duttman on November 12, 2016 at 21:35:19
The value seems to be in it's name and myth. I always wanted a HK Citation anyway.

But the Marantz is worth zero until you see it. If it looks good and all the iron tests good as Fredtr said.Eli said some good stuff too. I still think a modern amp could be had for less that was as good. So then you get into what's the goal? If you want to have a Marantz then get it. If you pay the right price and its not a lemon you'll likely get your money back or more if you sell it later on.
I can't give a price without more condition data.

...even by (esp by?) today's standards. Because it's also quite collectible, the term "value" takes on an added dimension: it's also an investment even in so-so condition. Few audio components can claim this status. Up to this point, there's no myth.
While the CitV is a fine amp, it will probably never achieve the classic status of an 8B.
Pay you money, take your choice!
