Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load?

Supposedly, the only Marantz 22XX series receiver that was the strange bird was the 2270 ... 70 watts per channel to 8 ohms and 46 watts per channel to 4 ohms ... just the opposite of what you would expect. The 2325 and 2330 at 125/130 wpc respectively were warhorses, as you alluded to. You may wish to check the Vintage Asylum at Audio Asylum for more info. Bald Eagle (Jerry) is the Asylum's resident guru of most things vintage and Marantz, if you want to email him. Another name to know is Bill at Music Technology who specializes in vintage Marantz repair. If you win the auction, your 30 year old Marantz will probably requiring some servicing, even if it is only cleaning/replacing bulb fuses/upgrading the power cord.

Almost forgot, I have been using a 2240 for almost two years now ...
musical, beefy sounding receiver. I have been using it with NHT SB2's
and it has been a super combination. I have just ordered a pair of
Omega's Super 3's (but in the TS3 body) and can't wait to hook up this
modified Fostex one speaker/ cross-over less system to the Marantz.
Should be outrageous ... or as outrageous as this stuff gets. By the way,
I have found the 2240 (made in 1974) preferable in just about every way
to the 2216B (made in 1978 and currently used as a tuner). I do not
agree that the later date Marantz babies are all that others make them
out to be.

BTW, Jerry's moniker is BOLD Eagle ... these bi-focals have to go!

Supposedly, the Marantz 22XX receivers were stable at 2 ohms , which is the load that 2 sets of 4ohms speakers would present. Time to do some research either on Audio Asylum or with the names that I provided to you. Another source would be A.G. Tannenbaum for a technical manual. Also, Mike Zaccaro out of San Diego is a former Marantz technician who frequents the Vintage Asylum.
