Marantz 2215B Receiver (1973-1977, MSRP 250 USD)

The Marantz 2215B has a relatively modest 15 watts per channel, and certainly isn't as big and powerful as some of it's bigger, but similiar, Marantz receiver brethren, but it still has that wonderful Marantz sound.  The five main control knobs have a wonderful sense of symmetry on the classic brushed silver Marantz faceplate.  Also present is the classic Marantz blue dial.

The 2215B can be paired with a WC-116 or WC-15T wood cabinet.

Check out the rest of the pictures after the break.

Sure, some might say that tape is dead, but there's something memorizing about listening to music with those spinning reels.

What are you reasons for listening to reel to reel music?

Marantz 4430 (1972, MSRP $499.95)

This beautiful Marantz came to me by accident.  I'd responded to a Craigslist ad for a Marantz 2270 (a receiver I've been looking for), but when I arrived in San Francisco's Mission district, the seller pulled this out.  I pointed out it was a 4430, not a 2270 as she had stated in the ad.  She apologized and blamed it on her ex-boyfriend.  Of course, I couldn't leave such an nice silver faced Marantz behind, so here it is after a few hours of cleaning.
