It went into protection mode during a big electrical storm. So far I haven't checked anything internally, just checked the manual for reset process and now asking here for clues. With nothing apparently doable from the outside (no buttons or pinholes or fuses), is it time to open it up and...

Thank you. I'm not aware of it needing service, but since it's older and I don't know if its ever been serviced, just starting there in diagnosing. What I meant by 'apparently fully functioning' is that the amp seems to be working well, no obvious problems. Only thing that's 'odd' is that it...

Thank you very much for the help, though products you linked aren't the amplifier I'm looking to reset, so the buttons and guidance don't line up. On this nv-p2100 the only button is for power, and there is no pin-hole or fuse or any other obvious way to reset it.

Didn't find it in the manual or online. Tried leaving the amp unplugged for half an hour, didn't resolve the issue. Not sure what else to try? Thanks!

Would servicing an apparently fully functional Marantz SR8500 amplifier be likely to change the sound? I like the sound from a newer-but-lesser Marantz NR1501 amplifier more, wondering if this could help. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Which room EQ microphone should I buy to calibrate a Marantz SR8500? I see two options on ebay, not sure if they're both for this model. Thank you! Audyssey https://www.ebay.com/itm/296106780442 MC-10 https://www.ebay.com/itm/266564740064

Hello All! A tweeter on my Tidal Little Piano's stopped chirping, and local shops don't want to attempt a repair. Where would you look to buy a replacement? Specifically looking for a D2905/950000. Thanks for any guidance!

Yes that's right. I started with an old Pioneer Elite, then loved the sound from a Marantz NR1501 for the last year, and now ready to upgrade to something higher end from Marantz :love:

I know! I got so lucky. The previous owner had them in storage in Costa Rica for years, and when we opened them this is what we found: Looks like some sort of wood boring insect had gotten into the shipping case, and laid this essentially sawdust-glue all over. I explained that likely both...

Sure, thanks!

I've been loving these speakers for the last year since receiving them used as a gift. Best speakers I've ever heard. I can't find much info online about them, does anyone know where I could find out things like frequency response, sensitivity, impedance, maybe even wiring diagrams or similar...

One detail, do you think the wattage difference of say 100W/ch or 140W/ch really matters in my use case? For sure I wouldn't be truly using all that power with either unit, but does it matter for something like 'headroom' or buffer etc? My sub is powered, and the towers seem pretty efficient...

That's a fantastic resource, thanks for finding and sharing that! And again for the help, so much appreciated. It's pretty fun getting into these details, knowing that any choice I make will certainly be the nicest sound I've ever heard. Fun!

For purely stereo listening, compared to a baseline of the Marantz SR8500, would you expect the sound on the SR9200 or SR9300 or SR9600 to be any different? Those higher models include many more features and connections, but just in terms of simple home stereo listening? Thanks!

Thanks very much for those insights, very much appreciated. To your points, seems like all used Marantz amps in my price range are older. Though the SR8500 I found seems to be original owner and in great condition. About point #3, I'm not familiar enough with impedance to understand how that...
