Marantz SA-11 s2 SACD Player I bought this after trying one of Marantz's entry level SACD players (the PM series) and was wowed by the difference. In comparison, it had more bass, more body, just made SACDs stand out that little bit more. It's also a very competent CD player and has several filters you can employ in both CD & SACD mode to suit your tastes. Functionally there are no issues whatsoever, it works perfectly. Cosmetically there are some dings in the top right corner of the front face, only noticeable close up though (from the sitting position I don't notice it at all). Selling to fu
At A$2,350, this Marantz SA-11S2 is slightly ambitious but still within the fair range, sitting just above the A$2,217 75th percentile of recent AUD listings. It’s not a bargain, but it’s not unreasonable for a high-end SACD/CD player in unknown condition.
The SA-11S2 is a respected reference-class unit from Marantz’s limited S2 line, prized for its exceptional SACD playback, warm analog tone, and robust mechanical build. It handles hybrid and dual-layer SACDs flawlessly while delivering top-tier CD performance, making it a rare find for serious collectors. If this listing includes original accessories and shows no signs of wear, the A$2,350 price becomes a solid opportunity to acquire a legendary player that’s increasingly hard to find on the used market. Confirm the condition and included items before committing.

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.
