Its origins date back to the early 1950s in the United States, when <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Saul_Marantz\">Saul Marantz<\/a>\u2014a music lover, record collector, and self-taught designer\u2014began creating equipment designed to meet the needs of the most discerning audiophiles. And here it\u2019s worth telling a story within the story\u2014that of Saul Marantz, who was essentially self-taught. In fact, he did not earn a college degree or a bachelor\u2019s degree in electrical engineering. Due to his family\u2019s financial difficulties, he had to drop out of school after the eighth grade (the equivalent of middle school) to go to work. He later took some art and graphic design courses at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where he trained as an illustrator and commercial artist, but did not earn a degree. During World War II, while working for the Army Transportation Service, he earned his GED (General Educational Development), a U.S. diploma equivalent to a high school diploma. His knowledge of electronics was essentially self-taught. Even as a boy, he built crystal-set radios and other experimental devices, nurturing a passion that eventually led him to found Marantz.        <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz_saulb_1940_scaled.jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz_saulb_1940_scaled.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz_saulb_1940_scaled-265x163.jpeg 265w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz_saulb_1940_scaled-364x223.jpeg 364w\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"307\"><figcaption>Soul Marantz in a rare archival photo. He was entirely self-taught and never earned a degree in engineering <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although he did not hold a degree in engineering, he possessed an extraordinary talent for electronic design, which led him, in the basement of his home in Kew Gardens, Queens, New York, to design a device capable of delivering superior sound quality and greater flexibility of use. That project, called the \u201cAudio Consolette,\u201d was so successful that it convinced him to turn his passion into a business. Thus, in 1953, the Marantz Company was founded. From the very beginning, the brand distinguished itself through a rigorously quality-oriented approach, with products designed without compromise and characterized by high precision in construction. Throughout the 1950s, the company introduced devices destined to become true icons of high-fidelity audio, such as the Model 7 preamplifier, the Model 8B power amplifier, and the Model 10B tuner    <\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz-model-10-b-front_1024x.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz-model-10-b-front_1024x.webp 1024w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz-model-10-b-front_1024x-561x449.webp 561w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz-model-10-b-front_1024x-265x212.webp 265w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz-model-10-b-front_1024x-531x425.webp 531w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz-model-10-b-front_1024x-364x291.webp 364w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz-model-10-b-front_1024x-728x582.webp 728w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz-model-10-b-front_1024x-608x486.webp 608w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/marantz-model-10-b-front_1024x-758x606.webp 758w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\"\/><figcaption>The Model 10 tuner from the late 1950s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These components not only delivered exceptional performance for their time but also helped set the standards for modern hi-fi audio thanks to their innovative design and sound quality that is still considered a benchmark today. During the 1960s, Marantz solidified its international reputation, but the company\u2019s growing expansion required increasingly substantial investments. In 1964, Saul Marantz decided to sell the company, while continuing to collaborate with it. Ownership passed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superscopetechnologies.com\/about\">Superscope Inc<\/a>., an American company that initiated a phase of strong commercial growth while maintaining a focus on the brand\u2019s quality. It was precisely under Superscope\u2019s leadership that, in the late 1960s and especially in the 1970s, Marantz experienced one of the most celebrated periods in its history. Production also expanded to Japan thanks to a partnership with Standard Radio Corporation, which would later become part of Marantz Japan. Those years saw the creation of some of the most famous stereo receivers of all time, characterized by elegant blue-illuminated tuning dials, brushed aluminum front panels, and extremely robust construction. Models such as the 2230, the 2270, and the legendary 2600 are still highly sought after by collectors today and represent the brand\u2019s classic image       <\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-scaled.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-192x144.jpg 192w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-384x288.jpg 384w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-90x67.jpg 90w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-180x135.jpg 180w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-561x421.jpg 561w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-1122x842.jpg 1122w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-265x199.jpg 265w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-531x398.jpg 531w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-364x273.jpg 364w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-728x546.jpg 728w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-608x456.jpg 608w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-758x569.jpg 758w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2600-1152x864.jpg 1152w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\"\/><figcaption>Model 2600, the legendary receiver with an oscilloscope for fine tuning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the 1980s, the audio market underwent a profound transformation with the arrival of digital technology. Marantz actively participated in this evolution by investing in the development of Compact Disc players, often in close collaboration with Philips, which had since become one of the company\u2019s major shareholders. This collaboration enabled Marantz to produce CD players that were acclaimed for both their reliability and musical quality, contributing to the widespread adoption of the new digital format without compromising the sound philosophy that had always distinguished the brand. During the 1990s, Philips acquired full control of Marantz, integrating it into its own audio division. During this period, the brand continued to develop amplifiers, CD players, and home theater systems, strengthening its presence in both the traditional hi-fi sector and the multichannel home entertainment sector. Ken Ishiwata, an engineer and brand ambassador for over forty years, played a pivotal role in the company\u2019s recent history. Having joined Marantz in the late 1970s, Ishiwata helped refine numerous products through meticulous work to optimize components and circuitry.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/KI.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/KI.png 770w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/KI-561x764.png 561w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/KI-265x361.png 265w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/KI-531x723.png 531w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/KI-364x495.png 364w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/KI-728x991.png 728w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/KI-608x828.png 608w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/KI-758x1032.png 758w\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"1048\"><figcaption>The late Ken Ishiwata played a pivotal role in the company&#8217;s recent history.

He is still considered one of the most influential figures in the history of high-fidelity audio. In 2002, Marantz and Denon were brought together under the umbrella of D&#038;M Holdings, while maintaining their distinct design identities and sound philosophies. The company continued to develop products for both stereo enthusiasts and home theater users, gradually expanding its lineup to include network players, streamers, and amplifiers compatible with the latest digital technologies. In 2017, D&#038;M Holdings became part of the Sound United group, which brought together several historic high-quality audio brands. During this period, Marantz continued to develop the Premium series and introduced new products dedicated to high-resolution music streaming, integrating platforms such as HEOS without compromising its traditional focus on sound quality. Another corporate change took place in 2022, when Sound United was acquired by Masimo Corporation.      <\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Esotec.jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Esotec.jpeg 681w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Esotec-561x371.jpeg 561w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Esotec-265x175.jpeg 265w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Esotec-531x351.jpeg 531w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Esotec-364x241.jpeg 364w, https:\/\/audio-2g.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Esotec-608x402.jpeg 608w\" alt=\"\" width=\"681\" height=\"450\"\/><figcaption>The stunning Esotec series: top-of-the-line products from the 1990s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Under this new ownership, Marantz launched a major overhaul of its product line, introducing products with a completely redesigned look, featuring a central illuminated circular window and an aesthetic that pays homage to the brand\u2019s heritage in a contemporary way.
