Picked it up and had it gone over at “just audio.” Sounds great with my CF3s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiFi Heaven Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Here's one in Minnesota, NO affiliation. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/ele/d/stillwater-marantz-2230-professionally/7335291217.html I sold Marantz new at Sound of Music in Minneapolis 1970-74 - 2230's & 2270's flew out the door! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatgrass Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 @HiFi Heaven Thanks. That looks really clean. Reached out, but likely he may think I am scamming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rah Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I had the Marantz 2215 (only sold it because of recurring issues), now have the 2230. I don't care for the slide balance control either. With my Chorus II's it is more than plenty for me, glad I didn't pay extra for the 2270. If you can find a nice 2215, that wouldn't be a bad second choice. Good luck.

WFP Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The unit still has the protective plastic cover over the faceplate. Replaced original bulbs with LEDs, plays and looks great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold the 2230 Had several 1060's and a 2230 as well as a 2252B. Thought" the 1060 sounded better than the 2230. However, the 2252B sounded much better than either one of those. Jeez; checked eBay and these units have more than "DOUBLED" in price over the last few years Not sure I would be willing to pay $800 for a 2230, or $1500 for a 2252B (which I sold last year on this forum for $490 incl. shipping) - see You may want to check the Yamaha CR series receiver, like the CR-620/820/1020. I have the CR-620 (on rear Cornwall's) and the sound IMO is just as good as the Marantz. 35wpc The CR-620 runs about $2-300, CR-820 about $3-500 and CR-1020 about $900. Add-on. Correction; just found out the 1060 is IDENTICAL to the 2230; except for the tuner of course. So; obviously WRONG when I stated the 1060 sounded better Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatgrass Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Emile -- yea, I sold my 2230 when I got a 1060. Still have the 1060 (fully refurbed in 2015, every board and more). But, would like to get a 2230 again. I may put an antenna in the attic. Or, on the roof. Have old satellite coax run from the roof dormant. Amazing the prices, 2x-3x what I sold mine for. Funny as you mention, my first true stereo was a CR-420 (around 1974) with the classic Advents, Pioneer PD-12 (II maybe), and an Advent 201 cassette deck. But, still would like to see if an 2230 surfaces the the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolve2525 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Good luck with your search! I just hooked up my rebuilt 2230 with the KLF 30s, and wow, what a great sound. I think there is something to the retro cap-coupled amps and Klipsch/horn speakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Yeah .... see above ... $220 ... finally a reasonable price GO get it @flatgrass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatgrass Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 That IS a nice price. He wasn't really enamored with the concept of shipping. Which is probably good, really looking for a first generation. Thanks for the eyes, Limerpine / Emile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
