Now quite a few compaines tweak/ improvise - but not every year. There are some very well built Marantz as well but the issue here is Marantz will drop the price to make way for new product which in turn kills the resale value. The old Marantz rocks, especially some old mono blocks, i was fortunate enough to hear some drive the Flagship Jamos i think the 909 - i was floored. |
