Description

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.

About brand

Marantz at Radique

Marantz began in 1953 in Queens, New York, where Saul Marantz built tube preamplifiers and amplifiers, and by the 1970s it was making receivers with champagne-gold faceplates, blue-lit dials and flywheel tuning. We carry Marantz receivers, amplifiers and preamps, turntables, tuners, CD players and cassette decks. We've had more than 150 Marantz listings so far, covering nearly 100 different models. Every used Marantz here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Many Marantz components were sold without their wood case, so we also make new cherry WC-22 and WC-10 style cabinets. Don't see the model you want? Tell us on First Dibs and we'll email you when one arrives.

Our five best-selling Marantz models so far: the SR4023 stereo receiver, the vintage 2225, the SR7000 AV receiver, the SR4320 stereo receiver and the vintage 2238B.

The Marantz story, 1953 to today

Saul B. Marantz founded the company in New York in 1953. His first product, the Audio Consolette preamplifier, became the Model 1, and Marantz dates the first Consolettes to 1952–53. Marantz says the early factory was in Woodside, Queens.

The tube years. Through the late 1950s and early 1960s Marantz built a small run of tube separates in New York that collectors still chase: the Model 7 preamplifier (1958), the Model 9 power amplifier (1960) and the Model 10B tuner (1964).

Superscope and the move to Japan. In 1964 Superscope, the company that also distributed Sony tape recorders in the US, bought Marantz, and Saul Marantz resigned at the end of 1967. The Model Eighteen of 1968 was the first Marantz receiver, rated at 40 watts per channel. Under Superscope, design moved to California and, from the late 1960s, production moved to Japan through Standard Radio, which became Marantz Japan in 1975. Receivers such as the 2230 and 2270 are listed as designed in the USA and produced in Japan.

The power race. After a 1974 Federal Trade Commission rule tightened how amplifier power was rated, receiver makers competed on watts. Marantz's Model 2500 of the late 1970s was rated at 250 watts per channel and had an oscilloscope tuning display.

Philips, Denon and today. In 1980 Philips bought Superscope's stake in Marantz Japan and the brand outside the US and Canada. Marantz says its CD-63 of 1982 was one of the first CD players, and its "KI Signature" models carry the initials of Ken Ishiwata, who joined in 1978. In 2001 Marantz Japan bought the trademark back from Philips, and in 2002 it combined with Denon to form D&M Holdings. In September 2025 HARMAN, a Samsung company, completed its purchase of Sound United, the parent of Marantz and Denon.

Which Marantz is which?

Tube separates (1950s–60s): the Models 1, 7, 8B, 9 and 10B, built in New York. Rare collector pieces.

First receivers (from 1968): the Model Eighteen, followed by the Nineteen at the end of 1969.

22xx receivers (from 1972): the first set was the 2215, 2230, 2245 and 2270, with the champagne-gold faceplate, blue-lit dial and "Gyro-Touch" flywheel tuning. A higher number generally means more power: the 2230 is rated at 30 watts per channel, the 2270 at 70. Later "B" versions such as the 2220B and 2285B followed.

Big late-1970s receivers: the 2325 (125 watts per channel), the 2500 flagship and four-channel "Quad" receivers.

1000-series integrated amplifiers: for example the 1060 (30 watts per channel, from 1971), the 1070 and the 1150 (75 watts per channel). The slim 1030, 1040, 1060 and 1070 share their case size with tuners such as the 104, 105 and 112.

Tuners: from the tube Model 10B to solid-state models such as the 2130, with its oscilloscope display.

Wood cases: Marantz sold its wood cases separately: the WC-22 for the 22xx receivers, the WC-10 for the slim 1000-series amplifiers and 100-series tuners, and the WC-1 for larger models such as the 1200. That is why so many turn up bare. A customer who sold Marantz in Ontario in the 1970s told us the cases his shop ordered were built here in Canada, by Westinghouse. Our own cherry WC-22 and WC-10 style cabinets are made in Canada too.

CD players: from the CD-63 of 1982 to the KI Signature versions.

Buying used Marantz: what to check

Dial and meter lamps. Burnt-out bulbs are common on 1970s receivers and are often replaced, sometimes with LEDs. Ask which, if the look of the dial matters to you.

The dial itself. The diffuser sheet behind the dial ages and can dull the glow. Check that the Gyro-Touch pointer moves smoothly and tracks the stations; dial cords are a common replacement part.

Controls and switches. Crackle when you turn a control or work a switch usually means dirt. Try every input, and walk away from a unit that drops a channel.

Capacitors and bias. Electrolytic capacitors in 1970s gear are often past their best, and full restorations replace them. Restorers also set the bias and DC offset.

Cosmetics. Pitting on the faceplate points to damp storage, and dents or water stains to rough handling.

Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
