Are marantz power amps any good?

I definitely don’t want to over buy , I prefer a warm rich sound with plenty of detail still , and was told to buy an older b&k 200. , lexicon lx model . I have tried emotiva and felt it was too bright , which was a bummer because they are priced really nice . I really prefer something newer unless those amps suggested to me are the real deal . Marantz 7702mkii or 8802 will be the pre amp because I was told they have a great two Channel analog system , plus I can still get all the benefits of muti channel audio too . I really love the looks of tubes , but have no idea where to go . Parasound and anthem stuff looks good but was told they are not entirely on the warmest side .

Will look into those yogiboy!!

Marantz seemed to have returned to its roots a decade ago by offering true HiFi made in Japan.  When my arcam alpha 8 bi-amp setup gave up on me, I shopped for an integrated and finally settled on the PM8004 by Marantz. Balanced, polite, exceptional imaging, built like a tank, in short a major step up from Arcam in every way.
It is 4-5 years old now, stays on 98% of the time, and it's working great.
The pre-amp section however is the weak point as it degrades the sound greatly when it is engaged (less dynamic, weaker imaging).
Their CD/SACD players are also top notch based on customers feedback.

I read that this years hdams are vastly improved , and quite a few people I know say that for two channel they are great now !!

I keep hearing to go intergrated with ht bypass , just trying to figure out how that would work with my marantz avr 7008
