I don't know about tubes being too expensive. Your Fortes are very sensitive. I powered mine, in a large room, with a Stromberg Carlson ASR-433 integrated amp that I bought off of the net for $150.00 and threw about another $100.00 at, including all new tubes. Not too spendy. If you stay away from the audio darling amps, there are plenty of nice tube integrateds for sale on the net.
Best vintage Marantz receivers?
My apologies if this is a topic that has already been heavily covered.
I'm looking to get a vintage Marantz receiver. Thus far I've read (in another forum) that any 22xx models are well regarded. Does anyone have anything to add to this, or possibly disagree with it, altogether?
What are the most recommended, or respected, models for amp quality, all vintage models considered?
Thanks.
