[oldskool69]

Do you have the carry case for it?

Sweet!

 

[redbenjoe]

no case - no deck -no handle -no battery pack ................. YET

 

[stormsven]

Are the lights on the speakers blinkin?

 

[redbenjoe]

no blinkies --just solid power lamps --the speakers have the amps built in

 

[Sazeus]

Not at this stage

 

[systemaddict]

Very nice Ira

 

[Reli]

NICE
Did you get it from HiFi Tom?
Watts?

 

[redbenjoe]

no reli --tom would never sell his --he wanted a massive trade only -- like 3 gold conions and a dozen mint m90s

its only a tiny 5 watts per speaker -- thats all the watts ratings it shows

 

[JustCruisin]

where does the cassette go?

 

[redbenjoe]

read above

--but no worries --a deck is on the way

Low watts isn't a problem if the speakers are efficient.
Also, Marantz is known for using authentic power ratings.....not fake BS like most companies do.
Check out this badboy I recently acquired.....It's only 2.5 watts per channel (into 2 ohms), but sounds better & cleaner than most midsize boxes with their ALLEGED 10W /channel.

 

[redbenjoe]

agree -- i know that mid size marantz very well --has a cool midrange dial -
very pretty and sounds good --

the 5 watt speakers on my tiny job are HORN speakers -
they are so freekin loud and clean and deep bassy = unbelievable
