Marantz was founded in 1953 by Saul Marantz in New York, though the brand is now owned by Sound United and manufactures its products primarily in Japan and China. Known for their distinctive porthole displays and warm sound signature, Marantz amplifiers and CD players remain highly sought after by audiophiles. Recent reviews consistently praise the brand's musical presentation, with experts noting that even their mid-range amplifiers deliver an engaging, smooth sound that makes long listening sessions a pleasure. Marantz products appear regularly on the second-hand market, particularly classic models from the 1970s and popular modern ranges like the PM and CD6000 series, making them relatively easy to find at various price points.
