Offered is „VINTAGE Gelegenheit! Marantz 2270 revidiert (2024)“ by Marantz as second-hand device from the category „Tuner / Receiver / Network Device“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2691632435 ends on 11.11.2026 at 11:46 o'clock.
Compared with a newer AVR at this money, this is a fair-to-strong buy: €1,700 sits just under the €1,873 median and below the €2,155 75th percentile, so it’s priced a bit favorably without being a steal. That makes it a sensible ask for a clean example, especially if the cosmetics and operation are genuinely as described.
The appeal here is classic Marantz receiver charm: warm, full-bodied presentation, strong tuner pedigree, and enough vintage cachet to keep demand healthy. If it’s been serviced, switches and controls are quiet, and the dial lamps and outputs are healthy, it’s the kind of piece that rewards ownership for years. At this price, the main thing to confirm is stable function and whether any restoration has already been done; that matters more than chasing a few euros either way.

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.
