I'm running some Large Advent's with my 2230,they sound very musical.

At the moment I have some Polk Monitor 10As on a Marantz 2265 and I'm digging it! My Pioneer SX-3900 is hooked to the Large Advents and, well, that's pretty nice too!

2215 and Hereseys in the bedroom. I have a 4430 connected to some Infinity Qb that sound good together also. Also had the 2215 connected to New Large Advents and that was a good combination.

i have marantz 2238 ,it drives a Klipsch RF-3 louspeakers , the sound is very real and natural
the high efficiency of these speakers makes them ideal for use in both receivers and amplifiers with low power outputs

I have a 2285 and use Marantz Imperial 7s. I also have a set of Klipsch kg4s but I do not like them at all.

Right now, depending on the rotation, I have my 2215B hooked up to my smaller advents, and my 4270 hooked up to new large Advents and a pair of Imperial 6's. My 170 DC, 3250B, and 2110 are hooked up to my Polk towers and sub.

My 4415 is hooked up to a pair of sansui 3500's. Sounds great.

I have my newly aquired 2240 hooked up to Mission 700 bookshelves, they sound great. I have a similar set of Paradigm speakers i'm going to try out on them that are currently being powered by my Harmon Kardon amp.

Walsh drivers of the an appropriate size for the wattage...

 

[Jailtime]

EPI 100s with my 2235B

 

[piperwarrior]

AR4's for jazz.....JBL L26's for rock with a 2230...perfect

 

[BGS57]

JBL L112 on one system and JBL 4301B ( in rotation with Dynaco A-25) on the other. Receivers and amps (also rotating) in use are 2270, 2285B, Luxman L550 and Accuphase E-202.

For me, it was my 2275 and Model 7 MKII's.
Second, my 2385 and HD770's
Third, my 2500 with the big HD880's -

All Fantastic combinations. Also, my Kenwood Model Sevens with the 2500 are among the best sounds I've ever experienced. I've played my Kenwood LS-408B's with the 2500 and that was beautifully clean & clear. Also played my M10 Marantz's with the 2500 which was pure magic as well. I think the best combination is Marantz + Marantz, mind you only the Marantz Speakers that were designed by former JBL engineer Ed May, such as the first and second gen HD's, DS's, M10/16, MKII Series, and the Model XXX series.

2270 + Dual 1249 + Klipsch Heresys = :yes:

Klipsch here as well. I mate my 2245 with either my Fortes, Chorus' Kg4s or my Khorns. Great combo!

AR18's on my 2265, Acoustalinear 660 (3-way 12" acoustic suspension woofer, 4" sealed mid, phenolic ring tweet, all Becker sourced components) with a modded crossover in the garage on the remote channel

ran smaller advents and some home built AR 6.5" woofer/vifa tweets on my office's 2230, the SA's were sold for some AR Holographic Imaging M5's I picked up....those will be hooked up tomorrow.

marantz with AR and Advent speakers are a match made in heaven IMHO
