Hi gang, Took my Marantz 2238B off my 4 Pi-pro clones and brought my 2215B back out. First off, the 2238B has the juice to drive my 2226J's and it seems to love the 16 ohm impeadance, and still give me 110db at the couch levels. With my 2215B however, I am lucky to put out high 90's, but the sound is better than most anything I have for low level listening. SET amps (2A3/45) that have been played here sound better, but not major difference. I can't turn my 2215B up past 9 o clock on the volume without losing that "Magic sound", but have to admit, if I don't need to crank it out, sounds best for low level listening. Who else has made comparisons with low-powered amps/receivers and what is their opinions! Cheers, Ron
