Product Description
Traditional Marantz quality and performance make the Marantz 22 a lot of receiver for a little money. As the company's first solid state receiver, the 22 was introduced in 1969 with a lot of fanfare. With excellent functionality and reliability, it offers 40 watts per channel into 8 ohms, enough to power nearly any speaker that was offered at the local Woolworths at the time. Today, it can power most speakers in moderately sized and larger rooms with zero issues. The preamp control section includes provisions for two turntables, tape deck, and auxiliary inputs, plus precision control over bass and treble. Low and Hi noise filters allow for adjustability during vinyl playback as well.
Behind the anodized front panel are: low-noise, low-distortion FET, RF and IF circuitry; sizable heat sinks; and automatic protection for internal circuitry and associated speakers.
The original chassis and faceplate of this piece are in excellent condition. An extraordinary example of this highly desirable vintage receiver. Beautiful fit an finish and nearly blemish-free.
Demos are highly encouraged in Lawrence, MA.
$599 (plus applicable shipping and/or MA sales tax)
