McIntosh vs. Marantz ...... sonics?


I have a few 22xx Marantz receivers (2226b and 2250b) which I really enjoy. They sound sweet.
I have heard so many good things about McIntosh that I am intruiged, and maybe interested in trying a Mac. I am thinking of an int-amp or receiver.

Would I really hear an improvement or is it mostly reputation?
I am considering trying it but Mac gear is so much pricier than what I have.

Thanks,
Rob

By the time the 22xx receivers came out Marantz had been sold and the focus of the company was on more popularly priced products. Mac products of the 70's were considerably more expensive (and made in USA) than most of the Marantz line.
