Offered is „AV 7702Mk II -schwarz-“ by Marantz as second-hand device from the category „Pre-Amplifier / Processor“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5937569625 ends on 16.11.2026 at 06:16 o'clock.
Condition is good, and at €880 this sits above the median €605 but well below the 75th percentile €2,062 for recent comparable listings. That makes it a fair-to-slightly-strong ask rather than a bargain; you’re paying a sensible premium over the middle of the market, not chasing an outlier.
That’s still a worthwhile buy if you want a solid 11.2-channel Marantz processor that’s well-liked for clean HDMI switching, robust room correction, and an easy, refined setup experience. The upside is mostly practical: if the unit is complete and has been cared for, it should slot neatly into a serious home theater without the noise and cost of newer flagship gear. At this price, just confirm firmware is current and all key accessories are present.
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.
