Angeboten wird „PM 11S1“ von Marantz als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 79424030 endet am 31.07.2026 um 19:29 Uhr.
This is a buyer’s market for the PM11S1 at €990: that sits well above the roughly €600 level these Marantz integrateds are generally offered for in Europe, so it’s ambitious rather than a bargain. The amp’s original positioning as a no-compromise flagship helps explain the asking price, but in used terms this is not a cheap entry point.
What makes it worth considering is the core Marantz appeal: 100W per channel, dual-monoblock construction, a proper phono input, balanced input, and the kind of smooth, substantial presentation that still wins fans with speakers that like current and control. If the unit is clean, fully functional, and ideally includes the remote, it’s a solid high-end all-rounder; at this price, I’d want clear evidence of careful ownership and recent service, especially given its age.

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.
