Marantz 2265B Vintage Stereo Receiver | 65 WPC | Cherry Cabinet

Marantz 2265B Vintage Receiver – Serviced, 65 WPC, Custom Cherry Wood Cabinet

The Marantz 2265B represents both a technical and aesthetic evolution in the Marantz lineup — maintaining the iconic look and the warmth collectors cherish, while elevating sonic performance with increased headroom and even lower distortion than its 2265 predecessor. Produced between 1977 and 1979, this “Silver Face” classic is instantly recognizable for its blue-glow dial, brushed aluminum faceplate, and rock-solid build quality. With a robust 65 watts-per-channel output, the 2265B comfortably drives even demanding speakers, producing clean, spacious sound with exceptional articulation across the frequency range. Its celebrated phono stage brings vinyl alive with openness and warmth, while the solid-state design ensures years of stable performance.

Pair this 2265B with our RA-Twin II Bluetooth Streamer and you’ve got effortless wireless streaming from any phone, tablet, or laptop straight into a piece of 1970s Marantz history — vintage warmth, modern convenience.

Custom Cabinet Craftsmanship

Our master woodworker has once again outdone himself with this bespoke cherry wood cabinet, transforming the legendary Marantz 2265B 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: The cabinet is precision-crafted to house the Marantz 2265B perfectly, ensuring a harmonious blend of beauty and practicality.
• Refined Finish: Sanded to an ultra-smooth 320 grit, treated with boiled linseed oil to reveal the depth and glow of the cherry, then finished with a hand-buffed beeswax polish for a gentle sheen and lasting protection.

The result is a true one-of-a-kind enclosure that not only complements the Marantz 2265B’s classic design, but also enhances its presence as a centerpiece in any listening room or living space.
