Dang, that's having old man bad luck bad Mike, sorry to hear about your woes with Marantz ... thanks for the heads up.
Fortuneatly I've only had to send one of my components back for a repair, which happened to be my Rotel RB1080 amp whenever a right side channel went south not too long after I made the purchase. I took it to my dealer, they bench tested it, sent it to their repair facility in New Jersey and I got it shipped via UPS to my doorstep upon completion of the repair. I was happy with them.
Better luck next time Mike!
