Krisd954 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hi all, New to this forum and I have a question. I own a Marantz 2265B and a pair of KG 5.5 speakers. Had the receiver serviced this year and the sound is incredible. I would like to add a pair of KG 2.5 for the rear of my room and was wondering if the Marantz will still push the 5.5's and the 2.5's or will I need to make changes? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Glad to know you are happy with the stereo 5.5 as is now. Even though efficient the 2.5s will have some impact on the Marantz. Could always flip the rears off when music listening. Or, if preouts, could get Marantz external monoblocks amps for fronts or backs depending on your setup there. Found my 5.5s did well with the extra watts. The monoblocks come in 125 and 175 watts depending on the 2 models. They are newer than your receiver but, keep that sound to an extent that you may be after not missing. How high the volume and power required, you just may be good to go with what you have now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Yes, your receiver will push both of those pairs just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but just be cautious with the volume due to receiver seeing two pairs of 4 ohms speakers. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
