Why would I consider a Marantx 7, 9, and 10 a classic but not the 8?
Build quality? Yes for all
Ground breaking technology? Yes for the 10, some for the 9
Industrial design? Yes
Sound quality? Yes
Rarity? not the 7 or 8
Cost? High
Manufacturers reputation? Excellent
I guess the difference is that I perceive the 8B to be more common and it is not as pretty. Also the 8B was a step down from the 9's. The 7 was made in large quantities though.How about the HK Citation II amp but not the III tuner.
Ground breaking technology? Yes for the II
Industrial design? Yes
Sound quality? Yes
Rarity? Not really
Cost? High
Manufacturers reputation? Good to excellent
The difference could be the unusual circuitry in the II.
