Marantz 2215 Power Upgrade

[Willie B.]

I have a 2215, champagne engraved faceplate, nicely recapped. I enjoy it.

I have thought about shopping for a 170dc or 250m to boost the power output (and — if being honest — add a little of a stack look).

I am turntable based. The phono section of the 2215 was rebuilt, but I tend to use a V90-LPS for my phono stage.

Am I on the right path here? My space is not that large, so I have not really had trouble with the 2215 — I may just be looking for something to change.

The 2215 doesn’t have a pre out, so how’s that gonna work?

If you have a small room, and you just want a change, maybe buy a different brand with a little more power.

Although low powered many cherish the sonics of the 1060 and the 2215.
I have rebuilt many Marantz and the 2215 is really sweet sounding, and a keeper.
