   I think the proper term is Yichis. Why the same suit from Brooks Brothers is   
   worth more than from Krass Brothers.   
      
   Marantz has the legend and the pedigree, largely derived from the 10B, that   
   makes the other components in that series valuable. A "Matched Set" as it were.   
      
   Is the 7/7B anything special? It was at the time. Now, there are better. Along   
   with the 8/8B & 9/9B. There are better.   
      
   Would I spend that kind of money? No. Even if I were stupidly rich. There are   
   better places to spend for better results.
