Our Thoughts RADAR AI

At €140, this looks like a strong bargain against your database of 172 comparable EUR listings: it sits well below the €236 25th percentile and far under the €398 median. For a used Marantz AV receiver, that’s the kind of pricing that usually rewards a fast, serious look rather than a long debate.

Marantz receivers are generally valued for their smooth, musical sound, solid amplification, and user-friendly home-theater features, so a clean excellent-condition unit can be a very practical buy. If it powers up cleanly and includes the remote and any calibration mic or original accessories, the upside is especially good; at this price, the main thing to confirm is that all channels work properly and there’s no HDMI or display issue.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Marantz

Marantz originated in the United States, founded in 1953 by Saul Bernard Marantz, a music enthusiast and amateur musician born in Brooklyn in 1911. Dissatisfied with the audio equipment of the era, he crafted the groundbreaking Audio Consolette preamplifier in 1952 from his New York home, selling the first 100 units rapidly and prompting the formal establishment of the company in Woodside, Queens. Though production later shifted to Japan in partnership with manufacturers like Standard Radio in 1966, and the brand evolved through ownership changes including Superscope and eventual integration into larger groups, its heritage remains rooted in American ingenuity and a relentless pursuit of musical fidelity.

The brand excels in high-end audio components, particularly amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems that defined its golden era. Iconic models like the Model 7 preamplifier (1958), Model 9 power amplifier (1960), and Model 10B tuner (1964) set benchmarks for performance, while later offerings expanded to tuners, receivers, and CD players. Marantz briefly ventured into speakers under designer Ed May in the 1970s but focused primarily on electronics rather than turntables, headphones, DACs, or cables, emphasizing separates renowned for their "Most Musical Sound."

Marantz commands a premium position in the hi-fi market, revered as a high-end pioneer that shaped the audiophile landscape through the 1970s zenith. Today, it blends vintage allure with modern elegance, appealing to discerning buyers who value durability, innovation, and warm, detailed sound signatures over mass-market accessibility.
