I owned the mx-120 for several years when I was transitioning from a 5.1 system, down to 2.2. As a 2 channel preamp, it offers a ton of value for the money since 2 channel purists skip over it for stereo use and it lacks the 12 or 15 channels required for today's home theater enthusiast.
If you're okay with a 5.1 surround solution, or just want a solid 2 channel pre for a lot less money than a dedicated preamp, then go for it. It offers fantastic sound and a ton of flexibility.
Contrary to what you may read on later Mc processors, the 120 was not a re-skinned Marantz or Denon. However, you will need an s-video cable and input on your television to access the on screen menu, since the hdmi ports are pass through only.
