Marantz 2225 Stereo Receiver with Exquisite Custom Cherry Wood Cabinet
This listing features a classic Marantz 2225 Stereo Receiver housed in a meticulously crafted custom cabinet, showcasing the pinnacle of both audio engineering and woodworking artistry.
Custom Cabinet Craftsmanship
Our master woodworker has truly outdone himself with this bespoke cherry wood cabinet, elevating the Marantz 2225 to a work of art:
Premium Material: Handpicked Ottawa Valley cherry wood, known for its rich color and fine grain pattern.
Veneer Mastery: The lumber was expertly resawed into veneer, then book-matched to create a stunning, seamless waterfall grain pattern cascading down the cabinet sides.
Meticulous Assembly: Cabinet carefully constructed to house the Marantz 2225 perfectly, ensuring both form and function.
Refined Finish:
Sanded to an ultra-smooth 320 grit for a flawless surface
Treated with boiled linseed oil to enhance the natural beauty of the cherry wood
Finished with a beeswax polish, imparting a subtle luster and protective layer
The result is a one-of-a-kind enclosure that not only complements the Marantz 2225’s classic design but also enhances its acoustic properties.
This highly sought after Marantz was “”built like a tank”” and should be good for decades’ more beautiful music.

Technics SA-600 AM/FM Stereo Receiver 70 WPC — Japan
Sherwood S-8250 CP AM/FM Stereo Receiver 25 WPC
Twenty-five watts a channel into 8 ohms from Sherwood's Certified Performance series — the range where Sherwood printed the measured figures for the individual unit rather than for the model. MM phono, noise filter, mute/mono, loudness and A/B speakers, behind a brushed aluminium face with walnut-grain side panels. Level 2 serviced here: bias and DC offset set, every control deoxidised.
JVC JR-S201 Receiver – 35 WPC, Japan, SEA EQ, Excellent
Thirty-five watts a channel at 0.01% distortion with a damping factor of 70 — numbers most larger receivers of 1978 could not reach. A five-band S.E.A. graphic equalizer sits on the front panel at 40, 250, 1k, 5k and 15kHz, alongside MM phono, two tape loops and push-button speaker terminals. Made in Japan, arrived professionally serviced; cosmetically graded Excellent.
Pioneer SX-50 Silver Face Receiver – 50 WPC, Pre-Outs, 1983
Fifty watts a channel into 8 ohms at 0.007% distortion, and — unusually for a receiver this size — pre-out and main-in jacks on the back, so it can feed a subwoofer, take an equalizer in the loop, or hand off to a larger power amp. Introduced in 1983 with switchable CD and TV audio inputs, presets held by three AA cells, and the silver face of the decade that was ending. Graded Very Good.
Kenwood KR-A4070 Stereo Receiver – 60WPC, Phono, Original Remote
Sixty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full band at 0.01% distortion, with an MM phono input at 2.5mV, a tape monitor loop, and separate bass, treble and balance. The original Kenwood remote is here, which is uncommon on a receiver of this age. Level 1 serviced; cosmetically graded Good, with honest wear for its years.
Sherwood S-7250 CP Stereo Receiver – 20WPC, Phono, Wood Cabinet
Twenty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz band, an MM phono input at 80 dB signal-to-noise, and a tape monitor loop. Sherwood built these in small runs in Chicago and sold them through the same shops that carried Marantz and McIntosh. Still in its original wood cabinet. Level 1 serviced here; condition Very Good.
