Best vintage Marantz receivers?

I used to own many of the 2230, 2245, 2275, and the 2330. I wish I still had the 2330. Hard to find, expensive, but worth it. I'd start with a 2270, then go up from there. My basement system has a 2252 powering it.

Hello,

Does anyone know of a web site to download a Marantz 2275 receiver owners/operators manual?

Thx

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.

Questions--I will be powering Klipsch Forte II speakers. Which route would be
best regarding Marantz, separate amp, preamp, tuner or a receiver? If separates
are purchased, Marantz or Phase LInear? (I've owned both.) I am open to any and all recommendations. Thank you, Patrick
