The sound can also be influenced by an upgraded main power fuse. I'm in the Marantz Camp (SA-7S1), so IMO your inclination to go with the SA-11S2 is the correct one!

The SA-11S2 wasn't available yet when I bought my SA-7S1, but if it was I would have bought it instead. It probably gives you at least 90% of the performance of the SA-7S1 for half the price.

Upgrade the main power fuse in the SA-11S2 with a Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme fuse and you will know you made the right choice. The upgraded fuse will add that last bit of missing dynamics but the player will retain its overall warm and smooth sound. BTW, I upgraded the other fuses in my unit and while they made an improvement, it was not nearly as much as the main power fuse.
