This is a seller’s market only for clearly identified, desirable Marantz models; without a model number, €900 is hard to benchmark confidently. Against 197 comparable used listings, it sits well above the €493 median and above the €1,600 75th-percentile threshold only if interpreted narrowly? Actually, it remains below that upper quartile, so it is expensive rather than plainly excessive. The price is not a bargain and needs model-specific justification.
Marantz CD players are generally valued for musical, smooth-to-detailed presentation, solid construction, and straightforward operation. At €900, insist on the exact model, confirmed disc-reading and track-seeking performance, a quiet tray, remote control, and evidence of servicing if it is older. Laser and transport wear matter across aging players, so a clean demonstration is essential; a premium model in excellent original condition could make the price reasonable, while an unspecified mainstream unit should be negotiated down.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
