Marantz St-8
(1979 - 1981)
Marantz St-8mkII
(1981 - 1982?)

Part of the 1st batch of Esotec, not yet named as such because of its "regular" Marantz roots (here).

Although advertised often in Japan, the mkII shown above remains a mystery and I have no idea of the differences between the original St-8 and the mkII...

Anyone?

The images of this page come from a japanese ESOTEC catalog (St-8mkII, top & scope) and a US catalog announcing the 1980 lineup (St-8, left), the latter being part of the Bob Denman donation.
