Which is Your Favorite Marantz Amplifier?

I have auditioned many Marantz amplifiers over the years. I admit that I am biased because I now have the PM 15 in my system -- the original 1993 model -- which I believe is the best integrated amplifier that Marantz ever made. It has the most amazing finesse and sound stage that I have ever heard in any integrated amplifier -- no matter what brand. Have a look at this beauty:

You may have a different opinion about Marantz amplifiers. Which is your favorite?

A friend loaned me a pair of the MA9s2 a while back. Paired with Dynaudio speakers- MAGIC! Effortless and complete- even at nearly full throttle.
I have an 1120 which is nice, and a 2230 which is remarkably good sounding, but those monoblocks are amazing.

I just picked up a PM-11S3 on Saturday...could be a contender. If I ever get the time to set it up that is. :-)

I agree that the Model 2 was like a laboratory instrument that sounded amazing.

I totally forgot about the 2's. They're rather rare. Got to work on them once. It was something special, and bench tested beautifully.
