Marantz 8 b will just meet specs at 35 watts output. Where a Scott will be out of spec above 7KHZ and below 100 HZ at 30 watts when new. If you really want a great amp at that power level you either want a MC 240 which will meet specs at 55 watts or preferably a pair of MC 40's. And yes I know you can probably buy 6 to 10 Scotts for the price of an 8b or MC 240. The Scott fixed up is quite acceptable, but will never been excellent like the 8b or Outstanding like the 240.
