External DAC?
Wow. Please continue. And THANK YOU! I have a climate problem where I live and I have a small man cave, which is great for listening with a floating floor. Lots of sound absorption. And I have a Cary SL I 80 amp,heating my room in the winter time... 
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
Klipsch all the way. And save your money on needs for power.   
Bluesound Powernode
I had to return the Powernode to the Seller. Too much quirkiness. It was switching the presets on its own, from the HDMI eARC back to radio stations, and giving bad feedback, sound ominous, as I listened. I switched my mind set from thinking abou... 
The Marantz Model 15 Amp
Recently: NAD C316BEE amp and very pleased matched up with Bluesound Node …SVS Micro 3000 SUB, and Cornwall HERITAGE IVs … a slight TURNBACK of the Treble knob on the NAD amp is amazingly effective t to the warmth and smoothness of the Treble…no ... 
Bluesound Powernode
Yes. Totally agreed. You know, I have both the Node and the Powernode. Powernode is not playing integrated power, as speakers are directly connected. I hear better separation, detail and bass. When the Node runs more so as a preamp, interconnects ... 
The Marantz Model 15 Amp
I was blessed to sell my Heresy IV’s, and now I have my Cornwall IV’s. I guess it’s time to let my Marantz 2226 go.

Waytomuchstuff- i wish I had the gumption to do this BUT it’s playing so well recently received… the bias was set… I wish I could but it’s an endeavor… hoping I can get my 2226 RED STEREO LAMP wire in there safely. Never done it. Blue LEDs have b... 
Top two most important sound qualities
I like to be able to receive from my Cornwalls… as in be able to LISTEN, as opposed to HEAR. I’m lucky in that I can listen in my small space… not having to battle room issues, acoustics, and the obstacles of having TOO MUCH. Too much power, too m... 
Hooking up MARANTZ MODEL 15 without a PREAMP?
Ok thanks

There are NO  INPUTS on the MARANTZ   
Best vintage Marantz receivers?
I need to say that I feel blessed to mention my Marantz model. It has a MIDRANGE knob and the ability to make it a Preamp.    it’s beefy with my 102 DB Cornwall IV… and I’m gonna run it in conjunction with Marantz Model 15. I guess overkill? Your...

Yes. I have the Heresy IV for sale, and enjoy Cornwall IV now. For amps I’ve used Cary XAI-1 SS as well. Cary CAD-808 ,(sold it), Marantz AVR, but I’m more into Marantz sound so far. I’ve got a DecWare ordered but who knows when that’ll be ready.   
The Marantz Model 15 Amp
Thanks!  I bought this unit off eBay with the wooden cabinet, and it said working so what risks are involved if I just hook it up turn it on and everything is playing? Do I really need to check the bias and what risks are involved if I don’t?  
The Marantz Model 15 Amp
Oh. My preamp is a Bluesound Node. Excellent!

I have a Cary SLI-80 tuber. Sounds great. Just love the older Marantz stuff which keeps my Mancave cooler in the Summer. Cary in the Winter. Maybe I’ll send the 15 through my 2226 preamp? What do you think?
