Got My Marantz CRS-7810 today from member JLF (Jeff), and not only was it packed great, it sounds terrific. If I could only get my 7000 up to snuff it would be great. Thanks again Jeff for a great radio.

Kind poopy picture, but its all I got One on left is the CRS-7810.



Johnny

Thats a good looking box. Looks massive too.

Thanks Petey and Ira! It has to be good since Ira once owned it... it has the midas touch

For everything! It is a little gem, built like a tank. It sounds great, and fully works great. The Marantz PMS-3500 not the loudest or best bass box but overall a superb build/designed boombox or perfect shelf system for small room. It's in the pic setting on my sub.

In's others words a strong contender against my GE lol

Me neither. Well, I was able to hear/see this cool Marantz in person when Jeff brought it to my house last month or so. It actually is the same size as my GF-919. Pretty big size, powerful and very good looking. If I had the cash at the time, I would've bought it. Congratulations Johnny!

Actually Fuzz... You heard my Marantz CRS-8000, this one is the CRS-7810.

Although they are 'mostly' the same thing!

I can not tell you how concerned Ive been about this grail getting there in perfect condition!

I boxed it with more 'stuff' than any other, ever!

Now, about that Lasonic, I love it! Black knobs really do look great! I wouldnt have ever guessed that in a million years! Once seen, it works!

Thanks again JLF!

Thanks to all again for the compliments!

Johnny

Great acquisition! I like the looks of all those Marantz boxes!

And the Lasonic is nice and stealthy!

That is one nice looking Marantz my man! I have heard from people I've known over the years that Marantz made some very high quality audio! Enjoy!!

Thanks Dougie, I do like it quite a bit!
