New, the Marantz HD-400 is long discontinued, so there is no meaningful current retail price; as a vintage three-way standmount from the early 1980s, comparable used examples generally sit around €40–€80 per pair. At €50, this is a fair-to-good buy, leaning attractive if the pair is complete and working.
The HD-400 is a straightforward, efficient design: 8-ohm load, roughly 90 dB sensitivity, front-ported bass reflex cabinets, and an easy match for modest vintage amplifiers. Expect an enjoyable, lively presentation rather than modern deep-bass refinement, with decent scale from the 20 cm woofers. Before paying, check that all six drivers operate, the surrounds and cones are sound, the grilles are present, and neither cabinet is swollen or badly damaged. Clean, original examples are increasingly uncommon, so a fully working pair at €50 is worth serious consideration.

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.
