Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load?
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) a... 
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 respect... 
Metal cassette's and bias settings?
Keith:I may be testing my memory here ... but metal formulated tapes are type IV cassettes and should set to that setting ... unless of course your tape deck doesn't have that setting (can't imagine why it wouldn't), but that would also explain th... 
MF A300 to A308: notable improvement?
Silvmoon:Assuming for the moment that we could reasonably agree on what is full/thin/bright/smooth/thick in terms of sound, I think the culprit may be your speakers. The one constant in both my 2 channel reference and 2 channel HT systems for the ... 
Nad 521i feedback....
I know this is not the question that you asked ... but try a Music Hall MMF CD 25 with your NAD. I paired one with a NAD C320 BEE and it worked out very well ... absolutely stunning synergy. See my additional comments in my review of the NAD 320B... 
Thiel 7.2: amps suggestions please
Looking at your question from the amp's point of view ... Musical Fidelity's representatives at the NYC HI FI show this past May were recommending pairing their amps with Thiels. They were pairing their latest KW 500 amp with Thiels 7.2. I wasn't ...

HT speakers, sub, receiver/separates for $3500?
Slappy:I thought that you were engaged; bought a house; had to sell your system to pay for the house; etc. My apologies if I missed the latest chapter and also, if I am bringing up potentially bad memories for you. You still do tatoos for beer, if... 
Best of the vintage Marantz integrateds?
There were two 22XX Marantz series ... the ones with the Black dial backdrop from 1974/75 and the ones with the Silver dial backdrop from 1978/79. The silver dial backdrop models also had a "B" in their model number. The XX in the model numbers st...

Holla ...One more thing ... without knowing how you feel about ordering equipment over the internet ... be sure to check out sites like ... Upscale Audio ; Audio Advisor ; J&R Music ; Yawa On-Line ; HCM Audio ; Crutchfield Stereo for sal... 
what integrated and speakers?
I think that you may be better off if you establish a budget for what you want to spend, as opposed to chasing a financing option. Given that, the NAD C320BEE is an excellent amp and more importantly an amp that you can grow with. You can start wi... 
Sony SCD-C555ES or Sony SCD-c222ES
Mark:I have a 2001 C555ES and I found that going through the "Classification by the Layer Configuration" routine for Super Audio CD + CD on page 13 of the user's manual did away with the mechanical thumping/grinding noise. Might have been coincide... 
Helping a friend put together a sub-$1000 system
I have been using a NAD C320BEE with a Music Hall MMF CD 25 for almost two years and the two components absolutely sing together. See my latest comments on my 2 channel HT system. I like the how the NAD sounds with sealed box/acoustic suspension s... 
Turntable as tuner?
Do you have a tuner connected to your preamp/integrated amp, as well? If so, it is common enough ... you are experiencing bleed through. I have noticed this with a vintage Marantz receiver that I have. If I have the selector set to AUX and turn th... 
benefit of Higher power over Lower power Amp ?
Hi Simon:If I remember your system correctly, you were using NAD amplification and listening to a lot of orchestral music. In my main system, I just upgraded from a 85 wpc Musical Fidelity (A3 integrated amp) to a 250 wpc Musical Fidelity (A300 po...
