I agree with Kinsekd although it does not answer your question. I prefer the vintage Yamaha units over either Pioneer or Marantz but Marantz is my second choice if you are not including McIntosh vintage in this comparison.
Marantz was killer when playing back real rock but I always felt it was somewhat lacking with more subtle music. It was sort of either play it loud or forget it. Could have been my mentation at the time.
