So I wanted a nice looking vintage SX-1250. Found one, had it in the shop for 8 months waiting my turn to have it rebuilt. No sooner did I get it home than another one found me (literal but long story). So now I have two. In the midst of all this there was a lot of debate in the small circle of people in which this took place about the relative merits of Pioneer vs. some Marantz 2200 series receivers. I just remember Marantz being the units that I felt were just out of my reach when I originally purchased early 70's stereo equipment in a PX in Taiwan. Since I don't have access to much Marantz knowledge I'd be curious to hear from some members here how a Marantz of the same vintage as the SX-1250 might sound, and which model might be the most desirable to have. Since one my 1250's will have to find a new home, I might be interested in a Marantz as I have places for more than one system and can't seem to leave well enough alone. Thoughts?
