Interesting observations. You'd probably like the SX-1010 as well. It's the top model in the SX-n3n series, which preceeded the SX-n50 series.

A lot of guys have raved about Sansui; but I share your views.

I do have a question. When the Yamaha is switched to class A operation; does the Damping Factor change? Actually, what I'm asking is if the source impedance changes; but if it's in the manuals, it would be expressed as DF.

On the Marantz sound. At one point, I owned a Pioneer SX-626 and a Marantz 2230. Similar power, and both have capacitively coupled outputs. In comparisons, they sounded exactly the same and a little on the warm side. The SX-727 and 828 were direct coupled and more neutral.
