Vintage Marantz

[Socal Sam]

The 2245 is also a favorite of mine. I just had one come through here and it was sweet.

My first CL score - a one-owner Marantz 2215B for $80.00!!! Dude had Magnepans to the ceiling and a Mac in for repairs... I'm HAAAAAAPY!!!

Finally, a half-decent pic: Yeah, baby.

I recently decided to get a system for our spare bedroom that I use as an office/man cave. I was planning to get a nice little Exposure 2010S2/KEF Q300 set up through work but some peeking at Craigslist changed all that.

I came across a pair of ESS HD310s for very little which probably aren't much cop but frankly the size and look of them just said 'why not' to me ;-) That was enough to convince me to search out a suitably 'mature' amp/receiver and after much trawling of CL and a day trailing round a few Bay area stores selling used stuff I came home with a 4270 Quad receiver in it's wood case. I paid $400 which was more than the $200 I had in mind after seeing stuff on CL around that mark but I loved the look and it had been serviced recently so hopefully it wasn't money down the drain. Luckily the wife loved the look of it and now I only get in trouble for leaving her too much of the time to listen to music in the Marantz man-cave!

So the vintage bug must have bitten me hard as the 4270 just seemed to be calling out for a nice turntable to partner it. A totally impractical urge given that I sold the last of my vinyl before moving from the UK, but these things are rarely driven by common sense ;-)

So when I saw a nice looking Marantz 6100 listed on Craigslist it was kismet. I quick diversion to Oakland on the way home on Monday netted me the unit and then I had to face the wife. Buying a nice amp and speakers was one thing - after all I currently have 3000+ albums on my server and Squeezeboxes dotted around the apartment . . but a turntable . .

I needn't have worried, aside from it's winning looks it also proved reason enough to dig out here Duran Duran 12" singles from a packing box and all was well.

Hello,

I just got é JBL L 36 and a Marantz 2275 because it was my teenager's dream.

Unfortunately, I was too quick to pick the marantz; I have a trouble: left channel seems to have no bass (I inverted speakers and so on...).What kind of problem can it be? Is it easy to find a solution?

Help please.

Jean-Marc.

I was lucky it came with the box and sales receipt.

Hi jérôme,

I'm waiting on the tech's advice.

thanks

Ok, everything is well, and the sound is DELICIOUS, like Alberto says; I have to say that back in the day it was very serious stuff. JBL L36 is really a fantastic speaker, and the 2275 Marantz Receiver makes them sing.
