marantz 15 vs 16 - Audiokarma Home Audio Stereo Discussion …
Dec 11, 2011. #2. I can offer a rough opinion having an 18 (15 based amp) and 19 (16 based amp) receiver. I like them both. If I had a system that was a little edgy I'd choose the 15. If my system was smooth and warm, I'd choose the 16. It's another way of saying the 15 might be more "tube like", but the 16 is not hard or bright, just a little ...
Marantz 15 VS 250 - Audiokarma Home Audio Stereo Discussion …
May 19, 2006. #3. The Model 15 really is one of my favorite Marantz amps. Comparing it to my 2385 receiver, it sound cleaner, more dynamic, and punchier. And, sitting at 60WPC, it is way over built to no end. I do like some of the smaller Marantz receivers, though. The 2230 is very smooth and sweet sounding (almost like tubes), and the model 22 ...
Should I get a Marantz Model 15? - Audiokarma Home Audio …
Nov 15, 2023 · The model 15 is 60wpc. The model 16 is 80wpc. The model 16B is 100wpc. The difference between 60wpc and 120wpc is only about a 3db difference in volume. You probably wouldn't even notice the difference. So ya, 120wpc isn't that much more power compared to the model 15. I restored a couple 70wpc model 140 power amps.

Marantz 15 vs 250 vs 250M - Audiokarma Home Audio Stereo …
Aug 16, 2016 · I've been using one for the past few years and it has a very nice sound. If you're considering an integrated amplifier, my favorite is still a Model 1200. Chris. Had the 1200 and loved it. I'm very sorry I let that one go, hence the desire to have a 250/250M. I think the 15 may be a little to problematic to restore.
