Thanks for the response. The Yamaha P 2200 is rated at over
220 watts per side. This is the older vintage model with
meters.
I don't think I'm going to pursue a vintage Marantz preamp
now. I borrowed a Hafler series 915 preamp from a friend this
weekend. Not the greatest sounding preamp by any means, but it did expose flaws in the the Marantz 1090 pre section:
Nasally midrange and dirtier sounding.The speed and more rock solid sounding Hafler wins out. I would be concerned about a
Marantz 3600/3800 pre doing the same thing,unless it was
worked on and brought up to spec. Am I mistaken?
