marantz

[cookscreek]

Hi all, My first marantz receiver was a 2230 back in the 70's witch I really loved but sold for a upgrade big mistake. I'm thinking of trying a 2238b , but I never listened to this model. dose the 2238b have the same quality as the 2230, which I enjoyed in the past? also another marantz recomendation. Thanks

I just recently acquired a 2238B and I love it. It's my first Marantz though, so sorry I can't make a comparison, rich and thick with plenty of bass and I think very, very nice looking. I was able to get it for $75 here in Canada, I have seen them advertised for anywhere between $120 and $400. I think you would be happy with one - hope this helps.

You'll love the 2238B. I think its a true Marantz classic. Its not only an incredibly full sounding receiver but one of the aestheically nicest Marantz.

Here is a link to some recent input about Marantz. I have some pics of my sweet 2238B near the bottom. http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=62804

I have a 2238 which to my ear just sound right. No fatigue. It is connected to Sound Dynamics Rt3 speakers.
