atleer Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Looking to buy a pair of oiled walnut Heresy II's with slant risers, in exc condition, for around 475. From here I'd need something to run them. From the same dealer I can get a Marantz 2220B for next to nothing, then I'd just need a cd player for source material. I also have a possible opportunity to acquire a Marantz 2270 Stereo Tuner for around 180-200. Wanted to know how either one of these would sound with a pair of heresy's for 2 channel stereo. I do not have much experience with vintage gear, but am definitely intrigued. Does anyone have much experience with either of these tuners? And in particular with Heresy's? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I don't have any experience yet, my 2245 is in the shop. You can search old threads here & at Audiokarma. I did & the consensus was any of the Marantz 22xx series will sound wonderful, in my case with cornwalls. Also many here have tried & liked The Harman Kardon 430, 730, 930 from the 70's.

hammertop Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Got both HK and 2200s. Daughter has the HK and the 2230 will be driving my step daughters verts. Sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 You'll be wanting to talk with Doug 'Tuned4Life', he's the resident Marantz wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwhaples Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 That's a good price on the 2270,if it works and is nice shape. I had a 2285 back when I was running SS. Good Luck! Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheltie dave Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 The Marantz 2270 is far superior to the 2220. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnBob Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 The Marantz 2270 is far superior to the 2220. Yeah, what he said. Check the specs on the Marantz page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atleer Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thanks for the help so far. I could get the Heresy II's and the 2220B for 510 from the same vintage stereo dealer. Sounds pretty enticing for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
