Offered is „AV 7005 Pre / Pro in Perfect condition“ by Marantz as second-hand device from the category „Surround-Preamp (Digital)“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4458155878 ends on 13.10.2026 at 15:58 o'clock.
At €350, this sits well below the €604 median and even under the €282/€2,059 quartile band in your recent EUR comps, so it looks like a solid buy rather than a stretch. Against what these AV processors cost when new, that’s a very approachable entry point for a serious Marantz pre/pro.
The appeal here is straightforward: the AV 7005 is a respected surround processor with the kind of Marantz voicing and feature set many home-theater fans still like for its clean decoding and flexible preamp outputs. If the unit is truly in perfect condition and complete, the main upside is getting a capable, full-featured processor at a price that leaves room for setup or any needed calibration gear.

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.
