Strength:

To add the RCS Preamp to the Millennium creates a whole new animal in terms of transparancy and tonal accuracy, once the room correction was properly set up I had a system where instruments started for the first time sounding believable. To quantify, I am not convinced that any amp at any price can compete with the accuracy of this combination. Though beware, not all CDs can live up to such close scrutiny yet many older recordings can sound remarkably fresh! Las Cruces Mobile Mechanics

Price Paid: $165.00 from craigslist

Summary:
I got this beast on craigslist for the great price of $165. The receiver was restored and all the light were changed. Everyone was talking how good those Marantz receivers are and I decided to get one. What can I say about the sound? You can tell by the reviews of the other people and the brand name! It is a very clear sound with deep bass and the mids and highs are so clear. This silver face with the light will take your eyes right away! The receiver can drive any speakers with a lot of power. It is rated 50W but it sounds for 10 times more so don't judge by the wattage.

Strengths:
Clear warm sound, great bass, mids and highs with adjusting levels

Weaknesses:
None

Strength:

Great sound and good looks.

Weakness:

May require maintenance of technician quality unless your a do-it-your-selfer with some knowledge of electronics and a strong desire to learn.

Very smooth sounding receiver and yes it is audiophile quality by any means.
Old audio equipment should be checked by a vintage tech before using.
This sounds better than my Yamaha RX-V870 surround. Also sounds better than my Pioneer SX-980 somewhat. One quarter volumne is usually loud enough, but one half volumne will really rock the place. This will blow away the 80 watts per channel yammie I have. Sonically the best I've listened to so far.This I'll never part with.
