Bluetooth a Marantz?

Yes. It can be done. Ingredient 1 is a Bluetooth transmitter dongle. Ingredient 2 is an RCA to 3.5 mm (female) "Y" cord for the connection. I have the dongle I linked. Not audiophile (heck, it is Bluetooth), but it works. Your biggest problem will be powering the Bluetooth dongle (runs off a USB). Perhaps a wall-wart and a cable from your AC power if you don't have any USB connections in your equipment.

Your first link is dead. I'm thinking that rather than using the 'B' speaker connections, take the signal from the headphone jack on the front of the 2325 into a bluetooth transmitter and broadcasting that to a portable bluetooth speaker.

Fixed it (I think). Your headphone jack>Bluetooth transmitter>Bluetooth speaker idea is certainly more direct than using the RCA outs.

What kind of delay would result? If one is listening through speakers plugged into the receiver and then feeding a Bluetooth signal to a Bluetooth speaker in another space, say 20 meters away, would the delay be noticeable? I'm thinking anything more than 1/20th of a second could be intrusive if you could also hear the main sourced speakers...
This would be using the BT speaker outside while the receiver/amp plays inside.

The inside speakers can be shut off with the speaker select switch and the headphone jack will still carry a signal. The BT portable speaker can be carried to any other part of the property, bedroom or the garage where my workbench is.

There are no RCA outs for the entire receiver, only tape one and two..

I was not focusing. At all. You said speaker outs, not RCA.
Tape out seems like the right place to get signal from if we're talking about taking signal from the amp to a remote Bluetooth receiver and not the other way around.

OK everybody, it's done! Those that suggested the front tape monitors, that was not possible. Those are the jacks I use for my recording studio ins and outs. I got an MEE dual bluetooth transmitter and plugged it into the earphone jack on the Marantz. Paired it to a Sony SRS-XB31 speaker and it works like a charm. There is a latency in the signal but that's easily solved by turning off the main speakers on the Marantz. So now, wireless music in the bedroom, computer room and garage where I do my electronics, woodworking and art with pretty decent sound. Thanks for all of the input, this thread is OVER, DONE, KAPOOT.

You could probably use "Y" splitters on the tape outs to send the signal to both the transmitter ans your tape deck.
