Looks to be a pretty respectable integrated. If they throw in the Harmony One remote it doesn't seem like a bad deal. A quick search makes it appear to be mainly offered outside the US when new.
-
It says 120v 60hz so I'm guessing it'll plug right in.
And yeah perhaps with the remote it's a decent deal, although $300-350 would be nicer.A quick search leads me to believe it was never offered for sale in the US. Looks to be a pretty respectable integrated. Wonder if it will operate on US power? If they throw in the Harmony One remote it doesn't seem like a bad deal.
-
It runs on 120v @60hz, should be good to go.
-
Yeah, I edited my comments. Ya'll are too fast for me.

I had one of those receivers from goodwill, sounded awful. Then 3 days later it started having serious distortion issues, it would sound like a tv that’s not tuned into any channels, you know, that kind of hissing/crackling sound. So I played around with it, reset it, took it fully apart and put it back together, tried other inputs, and it never stopped (except on tuner, it did stop there, but I didn’t need a tuner) so I took it back to goodwill.

Methinks you had a lemon, hence the Goodwill find... -
Bad luck.

That’s what I was hoping you would say, I had always Longed to have some Marantz equipment until that incident.

You should still want Marantz, they make a fine product, especially the vintage stuff. -

These don't get much press here but are amazing speakers. These are about $500 off list.
I have a set in Satin Espresso and with the RAAL ribbon tweeter, the detail and soundstage are very impressive. Mine are awesome in near field but can crank when I want them to.
Cabinets are made of bamboo which is very dense and ideal for speaker application.

I do, and even before I was reassured a few hours ago I would’ve absolutely bought a Marantz, no questions asked. Just before that I was a bit of a fanboy, now, not so much.
You should still want Marantz, they make a fine product, especially the vintage stuff.
P.S. sorry didn’t mean to put this after the post, but I gotta go to bed so I’m not gonna deal with it now. -

Very "interesting" entertainment center: https://eastnc.craigslist.org/fuo/d/vintage-lacquer-entertainment/6521995606.html
Isn't it nice how each component has no room to breathe or dissipate heat? Fantastic. And the speakers are up above, with grilles that are in no way shape or form acoustically transparent. Amazing setup.

Perfect example of more money than sense. To buy those speakers and amps and then put them like that, in that sized untreated room. Crazy.I can't imagine that the power cord is stock... And if it is, wow.

Certainly looks like a stock cord:
