When I messaged him again earlier to see if he found out he then said it had sold.
As I say it’s really no bother and appreciate you suggesting the Sony but I don’t think that’s for me thanks.
Best of luck with the Marantz, hope it’s as good as they say it is.
That's nice of you to say mate, me too. I couldn't let it hang around at that price for much longer to be fair!
Sansui sounds like a great bet too, sounds like you really can't miss with a lot of these vintage Japanese amps.
I saw a few of them on the bay, some with blue led's which looked very smart. I think the Sansui AU's are actually better looking than the Marantz.
I'd also been looking at a PM4 but a bit out of budget.
Good luck anyway, looking forward to reading any impressions and I'll do a write up at some point too.
Cheers.
