Angeboten wird „Model 30“ von Marantz als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Digital Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 826366090 endet am 03.09.2026 um 06:03 Uhr.
Compared with the obvious alternative of buying another clean mid-tier integrated at this level, €2,499 is ambitious for this one: it sits above the 75th percentile of your recent EUR comps, which top out around €2,185, and well over the median €1,976. That means it’s priced at the upper edge of the used market, so I’d only lean in if the condition and provenance are notably strong.
The case for it is the usual Model 30 appeal: it’s a well-liked, muscular, modern Marantz with proper drive, a polished phono stage, and enough refinement to make a system feel more expensive than the asking price suggests. If this is a clean, low-stress example with remote, box, and a careful owner history, it has real upside as a buy-and-keep amp; if not, I’d expect more value closer to the median.
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.
