    Vintage Marantz speakers

    I bought a 2285 receiver and Imperial 7 speakers new in 1977. I still have them but like my JBL 4311 better. I also have a pair of Klipsch KG4s that do not sound as good as the Marantz to me.

    KG4 PROBLEM

    I started listening to my kg4's again. I'm using my Marantz 2285 for power. After listening to them for a few hours a day for a week they started sounding not clear, distorted. The horns sound ok but the drivers are off. Any ideas? Is it time for new crossovers?

    Finally started the E-Waves. Some questions.

    The biggest question is how do they sound? Can you compare them with any of your other speakers? Looks like a great side project for you.

    Speaker Advice

    I have a Marantz 2285 with a Duel CS 704. I use a pair of Imperial 7s and JBL 4311s. I like the sound of the Imperial 7s and the JBLs are very similar in sound but a few steps up in sound quality. What ever you do try to listen to the speakers before buying.

    Which Marantz Receiver do people feel is "Best?"

    speaker choices and reviews frustrating!

    In my garage I'm using a Marantz 2265b with a pair of Klipsch Kg4s and a pair of Marantz Imperial 7s. For me the Kg4s sound muddy with no depth and very underwhelming compaired to the Imperial 7s. So for me I would go with anything other then Kg4s.

    Marantz Imperial 7

    I have seen them from $40 to $300 a pair. You should be able to get a nice pair for $150 or so. Good luck

    I want to get a Pure i20 dock to play my Ipod on my vintage stereo. But the Ipod that I have is not supported by the Pure i20. So can you AudioKarma fans recommend a new Ipod for me that is supported by the Pure i20.

    Bose 301 vs Marantz Imperial 7

    I would go with the Marantz in a second. You will be amazed by the Imperial 7's. I have a pair in the garage along with some Klipsch Kg4's, no contest the Marantz sound much better. In my computer room I have a pair of JBL 4311 stacked on top of another pair of Imperial 7's. While not quite up...

    I have a 2285 and yes I can tell the difference in the settings. I'm sure that it has alot to do with the speakers that you are using.

    Jbl 4311

    I just got a pair of JBL 4311 speakers and would like to know if there are any problems using them upside down so that the tweeters are at ear level. I heve my current speakers on stands to achieve this and it made a big difference in the sound that you hear, but the way the 4311s are made makes...
