Which one should you buy?
The 2270 is the icon and the 2285B is the sleeper. The 2285B gives you more power and the late-70s refinements, and because the B styling is less celebrated than the early look, it often sells for less than its performance deserves. If the point is the classic Marantz face on a shelf, the 2270 wins and always will. If the point is listening, the 2285B is one of the best value plays in the entire 22xx line.
