A Marantz PM360 at £100 looks like fair-to-good value if it’s complete and working properly; for a modest vintage integrated, that sits in the normal used-band rather than bargain territory. The market evidence here is a bit thin for this exact model, but comparable Marantz integrated amps commonly trade around the low hundreds in the UK, with some older PM-series units appearing a little under or around this level, so £100 is not out of line.
What makes it appealing is the usual Marantz draw: a smooth, musical presentation that works well for casual listening, small speakers, and older source gear. If the listing is genuinely unknown-condition, the main value is in a clean power-up, quiet channels, and intact knobs/switches; on a 1980s/1990s amp, scratchy controls, tired capacitors, or channel imbalance are the things that can turn a fair buy into a project.

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.
