Which one should you buy?

These two are close enough that condition should decide, not the model number. The 2270 came first, from 1971 to 1974, and carries the stronger collector demand, so it usually costs more for the same condition. The 2275 followed with a little more power and later circuits, and plenty of techs consider it the slightly better performer on the bench. Buyers chasing the classic want the 2270. Buyers who just want a great blue-dial Marantz to listen to should take whichever example is cleaner and serviced, and that is more often the 2275 for the money.
