Marantz 7--Why so expensive??
I think the proper term is Yichis. Why the same suit from Brooks Brothers is worth more than from Krass Brothers.
Marantz has the legend and the pedigree, largely derived from the 10B, that makes the other components in that series valuable. A "Matched Set" as it were.
Is the 7/7B anything special? It was at the time. Now, there are better. Along with the 8/8B & 9/9B. There are better.
Would I spend that kind of money? No. Even if I were stupidly rich. There are better places to spend for better results.
