NAD 7100 vs Marantz 2235 B

[N.Cotman]

Hi all! Have a NAD 7100 thats acting up and considering purchasing a Marantz 2235 B for $120 (original asking price was $280). Any thoughts on this change? Here is the ad!

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

As long as you have 8 ohm speakers which are relatively efficient (e.g. 88db/2.83v or more) the Marantz will probably sound okay, and visually is sexier than any currently available stereo receiver. As long as it really works $120 is a bargain. The only potential gotcha is potentially expensive service if it breaks.

I'm running Paradigm 7se MkIIs- would you consider these fairly efficient? I'm not sure which specs on this page would show if it would be an efficient speaker:

They should work well, especially in a small-to-medium sized room.
