Don't let this 500 watt 2270 get away!

LOL yeah its a nice trick to quote the power consumption

Well, since he was disabued about it's true power rating with that link to Audioclassics, I would have hoped he would have corrected that "500 watt*" malarkey.

but no...

What does that asterisk mean, anyway?

It looks like it comes with the wood case. If it does, the wood case is worth $100-$150 alone.

the wood case gives it a 430 watt boost in power

 

[Markw]

It sure looks that way.

But, being the skeptical crumudgeon that I am, since I don't see it in listed in the description of what he's selling, I'd clarify that if I were bidding on it.

...you never know...

It has shorted output transistors. The 500 watts is a conservative rating.

maybe should be quoted as "infinite power"

I think you guys missed my point - I have been in the electronics industry for over 30 years and I recognize the guy selling the 2270 is incorrectly stating the power as 500 watts. You can look at this as an opportunity because he does not know any better. I just meant that if the receiver was in good condition, and the wood case was in good shape it could be a "fair" deal. I own a 2275 and it tested out at at 105 watts per channel at the rated distortion (stock) so a 2270 should certainly put out at least 70w per channel if it is operating correctly.

Best Regards !

Maybe, maybe not.

If all is as we want to believe (it's fully functional and the cabinet is included), it is a good deal.

But, As I pointed out, he is aware of it's true potential by that link to Audio Classics and still did not correct his "mistaken" power rating. Are we to believe he didn't even read the link he himself posted?

My belief, and I may be in the minority, is that if he was really on the up-and-up he would have made that correction. That he didn't sort of makes me wonder about that else he might be misrepresenting. I also note that he doesn't state it's working condition and we're just left to "assume" it's in good working condition.

FWIW, here'a a link to a test of a 2270 that put out 90 watts.

Jacobsen Audio has a new product called Wattsagra, which promises a 50% increase (in power) in 30-60 days.

Consult your physician to make sure the 'ol power transformer can handle it.

Actually, I heard that if it lasts more then four hours you should call your technician.

If all was as stated, $255 was a good price.

They do it quite a lot on E-bay. Either they know nothing about the equipment..or are trying to snare the unwary. Cost me about $40 to learn that when i started to look for better audio equipment on E-bay 2 yrs ago. :sigh:

 

[suprpntr]

On the back of the 2270, it does say 500 watts. Not sure what that means but it is there.

 

[jstang]

Hint.... it has to do with 60Hz and 120Vs.

For that certain part of the "Marantz" anatomy.lol!

I think a lot of the time wattage claims like this one are due to ignorance, not a veiled attempt to over claim an item.

IIRC, this is the total wattage that the unit consumes...prolly at max power output.
