    Christmas Story

    I recently sold a restored Marantz 2330B. The amount is not important. The buyer who bought the unit purchased it for his 30 something son. Besides being one hell of a generous father I was more happy that a much younger generation will be afforded the opportunity to listen to a vintage...

    Recently acquired some very hard to find Service Manuals on the M line (M 2, M 10 and M 16) and Model line (Model 200, 400, 600). These are the last two designs by Ed May before he past away in 1980. The HD and DS line were also designed by ED May, and are highly rated, but these 2 lines were...

    Marantz Model 600 Speaker Update

    Just an update on a thread i posted in 2012. These are the Model 600 focus field speakers made by Marantz. After years of searching i managed to accumulate some original Marantz information. The brochure is from 1980. They did not make a model 800 with a 12" bass. Some thought that since Marantz...

    Craig's list warning

    Just a heads up, a poster from the Maryland area will post a nice looking serviced 2270 with a wood case for around $300. This is a scam. The posters name is usually Dave. The same person has also posted Pioneer SX receivers. The other day I saw a 2270 champagne engraved unit in Yuma, New...

    Marantz 2270 engraved face plate update

    I have been trying to research how many silver engraved 2270 units were made out of the 4,000 total made. Reminder, the run started at 1,001 and ended at 5,000 according to what I have read from many others. This sounds right because I had a serial number 5025 and it was not engraved. So far I...

    Marantz M16 Speakers

    My latest and maybe last find. I just bought a set of the Marantz M16's. This would be the finest of legendary JBL/Marantz designer Ed Mays work before he passed away in 1980. I also own the model 600 speakers which have the same mid, tweeter and super tweeter but with a 10" Bass. Specs...

    I thought i was fairly knowledgeable about Marantz speakers, especially the famous Ed May designs (HDXX, HD-XXX, DS (Designer Series) during the mid 70's to 1980. For the longest time I believed he only designed the above 3 series while he was at Marantz. Since joining this site a year ago...
