The PM6007 is a notably well-equipped, musically engaging integrated amplifier rather than a merely competent budget box. At £295, it is a strong deal: below the £288–£357 interquartile range’s lower edge only narrowly? Actually, it sits just above the 25th-percentile £288 and well below the £314 median, making it attractively priced rather than a clearance-level bargain. The unknown condition is the only reason not to call it an outright steal.
Its appeal is the smooth, full-bodied but more purposeful Marantz presentation, with 45W per channel, a capable built-in DAC, MM phono stage, optical and coaxial inputs, headphone output, and subwoofer connection. It suits a conventional two-channel system particularly well, especially with a turntable and digital sources in the mix. Check that the remote, power lead, phono input, display, and both speaker outputs work, but if it is clean and fully functional, £295 looks like a very worthwhile buy.

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.
