Marantz 2245 AM/FM Stereo Receiver
The 2245 sits in the middle of Marantz's iconic 22xx receiver series — 45 watts per channel, which in the mid-1970s Japanese build context means real watts through a circuit designed without compromise at a time when Marantz was setting the standard for what an integrated receiver should be. The number tells you everything: 22xx series, 45 watts per channel. The silver face, the illuminated tuning dial, the power and signal meters — this is the aesthetic that defined a generation of serious audio.
Solid-state AM/FM stereo receiver with a phono stage that handles moving magnet cartridges correctly — not as an afterthought, but as a primary input for a generation of listeners who played records. Aux and tape inputs for additional sources. The tuner section is a proper FM tuner for 1975, competitive with standalone units of the same era.
These receivers are increasingly sought after for two reasons: they were built to last and most of the surviving examples still work, and they sound like music in a way that modern integrated circuits don't always replicate.
