Marantz Pre-amp

[SlipTap 10+ year member]

I found my father's old pre-amps from one of his older home sound systems.

It's a Marantz Model 3200 preamp.

I know that some marantz items carry a collectors value...Is this one worth anything?

It is in average shape, but still powers up...and for what I know it still works.

An excellent condition 3200 w/ manual went for 260.00 on ebay recently. one with a broken fader went for 70.00. There was a couple other ones so if you search the completed items you might be able to get what you want for yours.

Get some decent speaker and start your own home audio system.

lol, I have some decent speakers, it's my receiver that sucks, lol.

My room set up is :

A Sherwood receiver (something like 240 watts), with a Pioneer digital tuner. I have the Marantz connected as my pre-amp. The speakers are 2 generic rears (the sherwoods which came with the reciever), a dual bookshelf for my center, and two Cerwin Vega RE25's as my front channels. The sub stage is a Sherwood 8" powered sub. It does pretty well.

Our TV surround sound system:

AIWA reciever (about 500 watts total), with an AKAI Graphic EQ. The front right,lefts are Sonab OA-14's, and the center, rearleft and rearright are BOSE. The subwoofer is a BOSE Acoustimass.

So why don't you get an amplifier?

And Cerwin Vega just make it in decent I guess. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
