Marantz 2325 Gallery

The Marantz 2325 receiver (~1976). Rated at 125 Watts per channel, the 2325 (like most Marantz receivers of the era) is built rock-solid and has outstanding sound quality. You can check out more of the 2325's specs here.

The pictures above and below reveal the rugged construction and generous use of shielding.

The 2325 main power supply is filtered by two 15000 microfarad capacitors.

Each channel has four output transistors (2 NPN, 2 PNP) mounted on fairly big heatsinks.

The Marantz 2325 uses dedicated ganged tuning capacitors for AM and FM. They are linked together by a gear mechanism.

The sound quality of a healthy Marantz 2325 is terrific, rivaling the best receivers of today (if not better). It looks damn good, too!

Founded in the 1950's by Saul Marantz, Marantz products arguably peaked in the 1970's, particularly with their line of 2200 series receivers. Today, the 2200 series receivers are immensely popular with audiophiles and audio collectors. Along with their power amplifiers, preamplifiers and tuners, Marantz is practically the definition of 1970's home entertainment. They won't tell you this on their website, but, unfortunately, by the time the early 1980's came along, most Marantz products were a mere shadow of their predecessors.
