I've had this little fella for about 15 years and bring it out occasionally. After resurrecting several other Marantz receivers that deserved more attention, I decided to bring this down from its garage shelf and power it up. My memories of this one are that it sounded a bit anemic compared to its bigger brothers - less bass, less "full" sounding. I'm pleased to say that, not only did it power up just fine, it sounds quite nice. It's no 2275, but it fits my ranking of "good enough" to keep and put into rotation. Plus, it's SO DAMN CUTE! Unpretentios - even in it's elegant walnut case, it stands alone as the smallest of the Marantz receivers from its day.
