Re: What are the best of the vintage marantz receivers, and how good are they?

In today's market overpriced for their quality except for the 18, 19 and the 2x series. Better off with brands that are very good but not on the vintage collectors and mainstream radar. How much power are you looking for? If in the 50-60 watt range, then look at the Sony STR series such as the 60xx, 70xx, x800 and Vx series. Better quality, better sound and cost less. Also, Philips 797, 787, 7971 and 7871s or even the xx6 and xx61 units are really under the radar and wonderful. Far better than the Philips/Marantz era units.
