Offered is „PM 12 SE“ by Marantz as new device from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4762596124 ends on 23.10.2026 at 06:11 o'clock.
This listing is ambitious. The €2,878 asking price sits just above the 75th percentile of €2,841 from our 19 recent EUR comparable listings, and it effectively matches the new-device price of €2,778 currently seen in the market. For a used unit, even in EUR condition, paying near new cost is a hard sell unless it includes rare extras or is pristine original-owner stock.
The PM-12 SE is a respected Marantz integrated known for its 100W output, ultra-low 0.005% THD, and wide 5Hz–50kHz bandwidth, delivering the smooth, musical sound Marantz fans cherish. If this is truly new condition with full accessories and warranty, it’s a solid buy for someone who wants a high-end Marantz without hunting for NOS pieces. But at this price, you’d need to be confident it’s flawless and complete—otherwise, it’s tough to justify over a clearly new unit.
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.
