£374 is ambitious rather than a bargain: it sits above the 75th-percentile asking price of £357 from 57 comparable listings, and well above the £314 median. With the condition marked unknown, this only makes sense if the seller can demonstrate excellent cosmetic and electrical condition, ideally with the original remote and packaging.
The PM6007 remains a very capable compact integrated: its 45W-per-channel output, useful digital inputs, built-in MM phono stage and subwoofer output make it an unusually versatile partner for a modest system. It is especially appealing for vinyl-and-streaming setups where simplicity matters. At £374, though, the buyer should expect a clean, fully tested example with accessories; otherwise, negotiating closer to the median would be sensible.
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.
