Marantz AV10 AV Processor Near new AV10 preamp/processor from Marantz. Not much needs be said about this stellar processor. Plenty of positive reviews on line. Comes with full accessories, packaging and warranty. Price is firm and does not include freight (if required). Delivery to Sydney is feasible. https://www.carltonaudiovisual.com.au/marantz-av10-preamplifier.html Condition: As new, less than one week old. Payment Method: PayPal with fess, cash, Payid. Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Ray H 0 Comments AUD $8,800 Date: May 2, 20241 yr
Against your recent AUD comps, A$8,800 is well above the A$3,483 75th percentile and far beyond the A$2,488 median, so this is an ambitious ask, not a market-value listing. On the numbers alone, it would need to be unusually complete, recently serviced, and bundled with valuable extras to justify that premium.
That said, this is a genuinely respected flagship processor: the AV10 is the kind of pre-pro buyers want for top-tier surround decoding, flexible bass management, and a very strong upgrade path for serious cinema systems. The upside is best if it’s truly like new, with box, remote, mic, and proof of careful ownership; otherwise, the premium over the local used market is hard to defend.
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.
