Anyone else use marantz with their JBLs?
I have a 2270 on my stock set of L100s and a 2265B on my modded set of L100s.

I have a newly acquired Marantz 2500 and a 510M/3600 combo that I run with a pair of L-300's.
I like the combo of JBL and Marantz. Of course, I love my JBL's with any of my vintage amps and receivers!
Western America designed receivers work well with Western America design speakers..hehe
I used to use a Marantz 2235 with my Paragon. Then I started running a Fisher 500C Tube receiver thru it and I sold the Marantz.Originally Posted by alexkerhead

Heinz, I scored my 2500 from a posting in our local San Francisco Bay Area Craigslist. In fact, the guy had it stored only a few miles from my house.Originally Posted by Heinz
It is the one pictured here. I was the first one to respond to the ad, and the seller allowed me to purchase just the Marantz for $600!!

It was the sound of that era. The potentiometers, resistors, capacitors, tubes or transistors, whatever the case may be, of that period have that unique warm, yet really clear, sweet tone.Originally Posted by alexkerhead
One brand of components used very widely in audio gear years ago, Allen Bradley, carbon composition resistors and potentiometers, has much to do with that vintage tone of many brands of preamps, amps, and guitar amps.
I will have to agree that many of the best of yesterdays gear had a tone many are still craving to this day.
Vintage JBL just sounds right with this era of electronics. Especially the mids and highs.
A "fulfilling" sound I call it!

Indeed, a great description.Originally Posted by scott fitlin
I do not think, with todays goal of low costing stuff that we will ever find stuff as good as back then. Companies(even JBL) are cheaping up their stuff to a point where the sound is gravely compromised.
I wish they sold the JBL stuff they make in Japan over here, because they still make excellent stuff in Japan. Which is the last of a dying breed of excellent audio.
Uhmmm, made in Northridge, I believe....Originally Posted by alexkerhead
Not the northridge series.Originally Posted by Zilch
I am talking about the ones in the same line as the everest, but not anything like it, but they aren't sold here in the US.
