Offered is „Model 30“ by Marantz as second-hand device from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 353575001 ends on 29.12.2026 at 17:14 o'clock.
New, the Marantz Model 30 was priced around €2,995, making €2,050 used a strong deal rather than merely fair: it sits below the €1,977–€2,656 middle 50% only marginally, but well under the €2,285 median for recent examples. At this money, a clean unit offers particularly good value.
It remains a very capable, distinctive integrated: 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, doubling into 4, with a refined all-analogue presentation, useful tone controls, headphone output, and an unusually good adjustable MM/MC phono stage. The Hypex-based Class D power section brings grip and easy drive without excessive heat. Just remember that it has no DAC or network streaming, so it suits a system built around external digital sources, CD, or vinyl.

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.
