Nice to hear good things about the old Marantz receivers. I have a 2226 that my dad bought when I was a kid. It became mine around '85. Then I went into the Army in '87. It sat in a box in an unheated/uncooled garage until 2 years ago or so. My mom called and told me it was still there. I went and picked it up and it still worked. I did a decent cleaning, new fuse lamps, cleaned and painted the cover and it still sounds great, even through an el cheapo pair of speakers.
Best vintage Marantz receivers?
My apologies if this is a topic that has already been heavily covered.
I'm looking to get a vintage Marantz receiver. Thus far I've read (in another forum) that any 22xx models are well regarded. Does anyone have anything to add to this, or possibly disagree with it, altogether?
What are the most recommended, or respected, models for amp quality, all vintage models considered?
Thanks.
