The condition is listed as unknown, but at EUR 75 this is still a strong bargain: it sits well below the EUR 157 25th-percentile mark and far under the EUR 333 median for recent comparable listings. Even allowing for uncertainty around the bundled speakers, the price leaves substantial room for a worthwhile system.
The PM5003 is a capable, well-regarded integrated amplifier with a clean 40 watts per channel into 8 ohms, useful A/B speaker outputs, a headphone socket, tone controls, and an MM/MC phono input. Its current-feedback design and sensible connectivity make it a particularly good starter or second-room amplifier. Confirm that both channels work, the controls are quiet, and the speakers are included and usable; if so, this is an easy buy at EUR 75.

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.
