Hey Jam

I know you post a lot on the 978 thread and I love reading your posts. You must be very young or expect to live to 110 years if you have the 978 in mind. I am looking more and more the way of Marantz in their 7005. Love to get the 8006 but the price may be a bit out of my reach. If the 978 is for not then Marantz are fantastic. Seen them up close and they look like a million bucks which brings me to another point. If the 978 looks cosmetically like a cheap bandage job like the original photos posted by Scott and ends up looking like something $300 then why even buy the thing even if it could take on a Lamborghini?
