Marantz 2265 Vintage Stereo Receiver | 65 WPC | Cherry Cabinet

Marantz 2265 Vintage Stereo Receiver – Serviced, 65 WPC, Custom Ottawa Valley Cherry Cabinet

The Marantz 2265 is a classic solid-state stereo receiver from the golden era of Marantz (1975–1978), celebrated for its robust build, refined sound, and timeless silver-face design. Sixty-five honest watts per channel of clean, dynamic power — and in this listing, that legendary chassis is wrapped in a one-of-a-kind, hand-built Ottawa Valley cherry cabinet that turns the receiver into furniture-grade audio jewellery.

Pair the 2265 with our RA-Twin II Bluetooth streamer and you’ve got effortless wireless playback from your phone or laptop into a receiver that still embarrasses most modern AV gear on sound quality alone.

Custom Cabinet Craftsmanship

Our master woodworker has once again outdone himself with this bespoke cherry wood cabinet, transforming the legendary Marantz 2265 into an audio showpiece:

• Premium material: Handpicked Ottawa Valley cherry, prized for its rich color and fine, distinctive grain
• Veneer mastery: Lumber carefully resawn, then book-matched to deliver a breathtaking, nearly seamless grain pattern down the cabinet’s sides
• Meticulous assembly: Precision-crafted to house the Marantz 2265 perfectly — a harmonious blend of beauty and practicality
• Refined finish: Sanded to a silky 320-grit smoothness, treated with boiled linseed oil to reveal the depth and glow of the cherry, then hand-buffed with beeswax polish for a gentle sheen and lasting protection

The result is a true one-of-a-kind enclosure that complements the Marantz 2265’s classic design and enhances its presence in any vintage-furnished room.
