Reports[edit]
- This series actually includes a total of six different models. Model 1515, 1530 and 1550, as well as the Models 1515L, 1530L and 1550L, which largely correspond to the aforementioned receivers, except for the addition of a longwave tuner. The series was manufactured from 1978 to 1980 in Taiwan and differs fundamentally from the receivers of the 22XX series, which are very popular among collectors nowadays.
- Not only the missing "Gyro-Touch" transmitter search wheel is missing here, but also the remaining quality of workmanship reveals that this series is aimed at the end user with a smaller budget.
A look under the hood as well as in the data sheet reveals that the same technology is in all six devices, which differ only in the amplifier part. Even from the outside you can see the red pencil, which had the say in their development. This can be seen most clearly on the bottom of the unit, which is made of cheap hardboard. Only the MR215/215L, 230/230L and 250/250L receivers, which are technically identical, were produced even cheaper, with parts of the front panel made of coloured acrylic, which at that time was a blatant break with the brand's long-standing philosophy of high-quality design.
- Cheap Taiwanese manufacturing, with which Marantz desperately tried to generate customers among the less solvent hi-fi enthusiasts at the end of the 1970s, could not stop the decline of the US cult brand. In 1980 Marantz was finally taken over by Philips.
More pictures of this receiver can be found on the Internet, including views of the technical inner workings at vintage-marantz.com.
