2245

Can you run a Marantz 2245 receiver and Ohm F’s? Not sure it has the power

Good morning. I'm in the process of recapping my 2245 - taking one board at a time - and I've run across an issue I want to ask the experts about. This unit was in really sad shape when I got it, but it WAS working. The power switch needed to be replaced before any additional rebuilding could...

Hi all; Long time member and avid reader. I have two recently acquired receivers 2245 & 2250B. Have replaced lights as needed, set Voltage, DC Offset and Idle-current respectfully. I notice that both units have slightly different left vs. right sounding outputs to HD77 speakers. 2245: L channel...

I'm wondering if it would compromise the "vintage sound" the Marantz puts out by running it through a speaker system it was never...

I've seen a few threads with folks asking about cases for their 22xx model Marantz receivers. I had a saved search on eBay and almost all the true vintage cases I saw had issues - chips to the veneer, water damage, sagging screens, etc. I ended up buying a repro case for my 2270 that turned...

I received a call from a friend in Ottawa, Canada, who asked me what I thought about the subject line. He has a small collection of audio gear, and is thinking about swapping his Marantz 2245 in excellent condition, for an Eico ST-40, which looks to be in good shape. He likes both SS and hollow...
