Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: Marantz: A nice brand gone ugly on us ? Your opinion please.....

Agreed - butt ugly.

If I liked the sound it would not stop me from buying it.

I am considering Benchmark - and they make even butt uglier amplifiers.

That said if it comes down to 2-3 amps of very similar sound - I would go with the best looking one.
On the flip side there is a lot of ugly gear at far higher price points than Marantz - so it could be worse.

I am trying to think of gear I like the looks of - I think I would lean to Luxman as a nice blend of classic looks and elegance. And METERS!
