Marantz CD12 advertisement May 1989

You don't buy Marantz hifi to hear music. You buy it to listen. To appreciate every aspect, every subtle nuance of sound in a musical piece.

Thirty years ago Saul Marantz said, "for us the realistic reproduction of music is the essential premise"

These words set the standard that continues to this day. That's why Marantz still uses its own custom components and technologies throughout the entire hifi range. Because it's still the only way to achieve pure high fidelity. After all, there is just one ultimate test of musical perfection - listening.
