New Marantz Model 30


Wow--I'm not even in the market for a SS integrated but this thing looks great aesthetically and feature-wise.  Has anyone heard and operated the unit?  It might be perfect for a bar I'm refurbishing.

Also, from a review:
"Because of the design choices, the cabinets have become totally different than we are used to from the PM line. Just like the SACD 30N, the Model 30 has a symmetrical design with a kind of reworked front on both sides: they added some sort of structure to it. On those worked pieces shines the well known led strip. White this time. It looks cool. However, there is a bit of an odd design-choice: these ‘façades’ look like metal, but unfortunately it is not. It is plastic."
@jbhiller   Go to Google images, and look at the pics of the inside of the Ruby and the M30.  The M30 is a "budget" version of the Ruby, no copper plating, and they may have changed a few other minor things.  Read reviews on the M30 and check out how much of it is made of plastic, rather than metal.  Appearances can be deceptive.  The Ruby is still available, and while more expensive, it strikes me as the better long-term investment.
