Marantz used to be top of the line home audio gear, hand built, point to point wired. Now just another stick-on label on generic Korean mass produced systems. Sad to see them and other former great names in audio reduced to that.
Marantz has been that way for more than a decade at this point. I bought my Denon AVR in 2013 and even then all of the Marantz lineup was just a different case they charged more for.
