Marantz 2230B Vintage Stereo Receiver – 30 WPC, Cherry Cabinet

Gorgeous Vintage 30 WPC Marantz 2230 Stereo Receiver in brand new custom Cherry Wood cabinet, freshly serviced and in very good cosmetic condition.

Introduced in 1974 this Marantz 2230B receiver boasts all the classic Marantz attributes such as the brushed silver face plate, blue and red lights and gyro-touch tuner. The 2230B was a nice, mid-range model from Marantz and it put out 30 “old school” watts per channel at a low distortion of just .3%.

From Marantz:

“Best in its class. With impressive specifications and Marantz-exclusive features, the Model 2230B offers more value and performance than any other receiver in its class. We’ve known that for years. But just recently, one of the nation’s most respected independent consumer testing organizations verified it. In not one, but two separate categories — features and performance. It delivers 60 Watts continuous power, both channels driven, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with total harmonic and inter-modulation distortion well under 0.3%.

Stepped, three-zone tone controls for BASS, MID, TREBLE. Provisions for tape decks, phones, record changers and 4-channel adaptors. Ultra low-distortion FET, RF and IF circuitry. Massive heat sinks; automatic protection for internal circuitry and associated speakers, plus the famous Marantz gold-anodized front panel. Looking for a moderately priced receiver? The Marantz 2230 out-does them all.”

The 2230B weighs around 36 pounds and measures 17-1/4 W x 5 H x 14 D. (Custom Cabinet Excluded) The feet add another 5/8 inch. These units are very well built and the phono circuit is highly regarded in the 2230B for magnetic coil cartridges.

All the 22XX series receivers from Marantz are known to have a nice warm, smooth sound about them, and this 2230B is no exception.
