I'm not sure about the 22xx line, but I have a 2015 that doesn't have a seperate preamp out like its larger cousins do.That said, I really find something special about these smaller, stripped down Marantzes. When paired with an efficient speaker they're capable of excellent dynamics and a very musical midrange that works very well with acoustic-based music and only slightly less so with rock. They would make a great match with a horn speaker in a smaller room, say maybe a Klipsch KG4, or some of the newer high-efficiency Infinitys etc.
There's a little roll-off at the extremes but it's more than made up for in musicality.
