Love Marantz, I have two, a 2220B and a 2265B, your receiver's awesome!, I had a friend (R.I.P.) and he had a monster Marantz also, it was the earlier gen. with the dark screen, it was so powerful that it shook his house, then you would look at the receiver and notice the volume was only turn up a quarter of the way. Kudos on your taste of music

This is exactly the reason why I clicked the video. It sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing. With your camera, it sounds clear! Very beautiful. Enjoy it! Now, I want one.

I owned the 2385 for a decade. What a monster! At 4 ohms the speakers would stun small animals.
-
I think that is an beautiful piece of electronics. Your lucky to find vintage stereo gear in this condotion.

So glad to see a youngster playing with vintage kit listening to decent music instead of a playstation. I remember playing with the knobs on the receiver in my childhood home, took me back and put a smile on my face. Good on you little dude and enjoy! I noticed the soldering iron on the table. Knowing kids today, he is probably in the process of restoring this old jewel. Keep googling and keep going man!

Speaker sentivity makes more of a difference than power does. For example, 100 watts thru speakers with 89 dB sensitivity would sound equally as loud to an average person, as 10 watts thru speakers with 99 dB sensitivity. So simply by changing speakers, "90 watts" of effective power can be gained or lost. Pink noise for example to be "fair", but likely true/accurate for regular music too.

wow! that is very clean sounding

Beautiful piece of equipment
-
I always prefer to have units with blue lightening without the wooden case, just the metal. But other than that, pretty much the best looking Marantz receiver I have ever seen ;-)
-
Beautiful and strong machine, my 2385 is not wood finished, i mean is metal all over but anyway looks amazing too!
-
Beautiful receiver!
-
Some people have no business owning vintage stereo gear such as this receiver, your one of them...
-
Nice set up and that"s when they made stuff to last back then.
-
Big props!, like seeing nice gear videos without a cat in them all the time.
-
I still have my 2385 with Infinity speakers bought in Okinawa Marine base.
-
This magnificent piece of HiFi equipment should be in my possession so that it gets the proper treatment it deserves.
-
Pioneer's SX-1980 had a single front-panel 1/4" microphone jack, by way of contrast.
-
It reminds me of the console of the first jumbo jet I flew.
