These receivers are addictive, still waiting for my pioneer sx-880 to get here for my outdoor sytem, but Fedex delivered my sx-780 today. I set it up in the guest bedroom hooked it up to the existing dvd-cd player in the room with some JBL E20 speakers and it sounds great. $73.00 for receiever, $44.00 for refurbished speakers from Harmon on e-bay, $14.00 omnimount speaker stands, $131.00 total for a great sounding system for our guests, priceless

Well I just got my 2nd Marantz today,model 2235B.I connected it to my M3s and it sounds great.I bought it from clasic audio,paid $300.00 but it looks like new.They went completely through it so it's very clean inside and out and all the bulbs work.Thats all for now ,4 receivers are enough

Is that a ...website? (He asks, looking for more places to spend money he doesn't have...)

I linked it a page back, they sell, carry want ads and give valuations on vintage stereos.

I enjoy looking at Classic Audio for pricing and benchmarking what the different receivers are worth. I have found their prices to be pretty steep however. I have bought my units off ebay and have found great receivers for much less. I have a guy here in Houston who will service these for $55 a pop. He is my age (a remnant & survivor of the 60s-70s) so he not only enjoys working on them and does a great job but he apreciates the units and their sound. Yes, he is a blessing to have found!!!
