You are invited on a "trip down memory lane".

A pair of Marantz Model 2 monoblock amplifiers (ca. late 1950s), which I owned for a time during the early 1990s. I sold them because with the speakers I was using at the time, and when used in triode mode which I found to be sonically preferable to the more powerful ultralinear mode, they weren’t powerful enough to handle the peaks of some classical symphonic recordings having particularly wide dynamic range. But on less challenging material they sounded gorgeous.

Another contributing factor to my regret at having sold them is that their worth today is something like five times what it was then :-)

Speaker I never actually had room for:  Snell A/III with CJ premiere pre and probably a modern amp.

I can't think of any tube amps that would drive it well, or any SS amps from the period that aren't seriously outclassed by most modern amps.

The above mentioned CJ Premier 3 preamp

and the CJ P-2 Power amp would of course drive the Snell, the big Infinity never set it back, ask me how I know...
