The REAL Gold Standard: NEW Marantz Model 10, SACD 10 & LINK 10N at CEDIA 2024!

[@Youthman]

Typo in video. Should say 500 watts @ 4 ohm instead of 5 ohm. Marantz's new MODEL 10, SACD 10 & LINK 10N sound as gorgeous as they look!

Really glad to see a company take such care and pride inti quality products I always loved marantz audio

[@m4nc1n1]

Me too. Yeah it’s expensive but so is Storm and Trinnov and nobody complains about them like they do Marantz. Weird

[@adam631]

The most beautiful audio gear iv'e ever seen. If i win the lotto i will definitely pick up all three.

[@roccobruno8027]

Marantz needs to make a stereo amplifier and a mono amplifier version as well. Once they do that, they can easily compete against any manufacturer in the high end arena.

[@m4nc1n1]

My Cinema 30 is front and center and staying that way. I will never hide my equipment in a rack. I like it visible especially Marantz products.

[@m4nc1n1]

Yeah it’s a beast and the inside is a work of art just like the outside. Really, this inside is stunning! You have to see it with the top off.

[@Youthman]

If you ever take the top off, take a photo and email it to me I’d be happy to share it [e-mail]

[@Robobeast76]

In the world of premium hifi those unit prices aren't that much of a surprise. Thank you for the upload Michael - great products made with passion

[@Youthman]

That is true. There are products much more expensive than these.

[@edwarddesmond2975]

Wow this is not for everyone as the price says but that amplifier is a Audiophiles Dream

[@Youthman]

Right! They sound as good as they look.

[@danblack8484]

Feel like at that price I am looking at McIntosh instead. It is beautiful though.

[@Spractral]

I'm honestly not sure why the price of amps varies so widely... I only got back into audio a couple years ago @ 30yo & all I could afford is an aiyima w/ a topping d10s (& excellent speakers I found on secondary markets... Ended up making a whole 7.2.4 HT for dirt cheap) and it blows away anything I remember back when I was a teenager.. I can't imagine how amplifiers could make my music sound much better. If I had the $ I'd be looking at speakers. I want to out together one of those DIY icehouse (or whatever they're called) amps sometime soon though.

[@Spractral]

These things look wicked nice though

[@Youthman]

You’re paying for both performance and craftsmanship. These are works of art.

[@DriverDude100]

Wow. I want a model 10 integrated. Beautiful equipment!

[@cocoj3194]

Price aside, kudos to Marantz for producing beautiful, “lifestyle” devices that perform well 👏🏾

[@ptg01]

They are STUNNING for sure !

[@johnhovanec6240]

Awesome! Michael I'm jealous, stunning and beautiful 😊

[@dawn-moon]

I loved the sound of my former Marantz SR6005, SR5015, MM7025 with my Focal 826W's, but both SR's ran HOT, the SR6005 could bake an egg. Meanwhile it exploded and had a bad volume control that went crazy from only a couple of weeks old. The only Marantz component that got past 8 years, is the MM7025, still working fine. I'm using the NAD M33 now with Kanta no.3's. Maybe some day I'll give a high end Marantz a try, but they better start making less expensive series as reliable and decent feeling.

[@bentleygt3716]

they look like GORGEOUS Sculptures . my goodness. they ooze Quality.. the Fit & Finish is insane on these units. give me the Amp and the Streamer and i'll be the happiest man on earth. thank you for sharing.

[@Youthman]

It’s amazing what they can do when you don’t put a budget on the engineer that is designing them

[@paulcsaszar5824]

I am not a huge marantz fan but these are drop dead beautiful almost stunning and they do sound amazing from my previous experience..good job marantz.

[@Kukkema]

Just wow! Did you hear the 10series and what speakers did they demo on?

[@BeyondResolution]

The new model 10 looks amazing.

[@ptg01]

Stunning ! I wonder if Model 8 / Model 9 tube amps are on the immediate horizon ? That's when I will be truly interested and it will be a HUGE success !

[@rangerrecon]

Wow. The price makes these completely unobtainable for me, but I can appreciate the engineering and manufacturing that went into these flagship pieces. Simply stunning.

[@beefbottom]

Hope there isn’t any dry graininess in the delivery…if they sound as good as they look could be epic

[@michaelford8986]

I'd love to know how the SACD 10 sounds compared to the SA -10! ;)

[@medardboss3595]

I have SA-10 and I'm also curious...

[@shinvergil]

I hope that sells above target. Respect all out flagship products.

[@edwarddesmond2975]

Thanks Youthman That's awesome I wish they had the dark colored one to see

[@Youthman]

I included some Broll of the dark colored finishes.

[@techsamurai11]

This seems like Marantz's answer to the Technics R1000 and the Yamaha M-5000 both of which are audiophile candy with their gorgeous level meters. The top of the M10 looks beautiful but you have to make sure it sits on top of the cabinet - it's probably a crime if you cover it and Marantz should demand of the owner that the unit's top be exposed🙂 It looks like jewelry and the difference between the gold one and the regular black chassis is the biggest I've ever seen. I have no idea why they would ever make it in anything but gold. The same can be said of all Marantz AVRs which should be sold in silver.

[@Youthman]

Marantz has you sign an agreement before they will let you purchase it. 🤣

[@dukajoe]

I have starkrimson ganfet (consensus better than mosfet purify) and a marantz cinema 30 (preamp for stereo)... I think have this beat for a fraction of the price, unless the new hdam is that special

[@EdBenji]

Where I live, these are the same price as a family car...

[@rxonmymind8362]

@@EdBenji this is obviously for those in a different tax bracket. This would be like $15 to them.

[@antonyalumkal1526]

I'm hoping they eventually introduce a 20 series that has "trickle down" technology from the 10 series at a lower price point. There is quite a bit of room price-wise between the 10 series and the 30 series, plus a missing number just waiting to be used. 😀

[@902_Nick]

15k. Damnnn

[@ptg01]

Masimo's CEO just got booted by the board... Never understood synergies of a medical devices company in acquiring consumer brands the likes of Marantz/Denon/Classe/B&W...

[@Youthman]

Yikes. My understanding is they wanted their distribution channels.

[@ptg01]

@@Youthman I heard that too but it is a TOTALLY different distribution model and target market.. I expect Masimo Audio will be spun off / sold off..

[@Youthman]

Only time will tell how it all shakes out. I’m hoping for the best

[@stephanlazarz1921]

I'm in love.

[@moshezuhmih]

For 3k less you can buy the new merill audio elements 110 which are based on the new GaN transistors 😊

[@net_news]

A purify based class-d amplifier for $16k... c'mon Marantz.

[@techsamurai11]

It's 16 karat gold 🙂

[@net_news]

@@techsamurai11 well, that's luxury not performance

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

​@@net_newsunless you have seen the full measurements of the amp, you cannot say it is not performance based. Use a Purifi all you way, if implementation is not right, it won't be right. It might measure SOTA, or it might not. And if pure performance is what you want, you shouldnt be lookin at such products anyway. Get an all Benchmark setup and be done with. You might not like what you hear, but 'performance' is a brutally honest bitch. Owner of the AHB2, LA4 and DAC 3 HGC. I cetrtainly wished my components would look as great as these Marantz.

[@donalddluckerii3147]

Beautiful. Vastly overpriced.

[@net_news]

@@donalddluckerii3147 yeap, we are paying for a nice gold case... that's 90% of the cost or more b/c even the best Purifi modules are way below $2k.

[@Rascallucci]

The entire series looks very impressive. I haven't heard them yet so I can't comment, my immediate reaction is why Class D?

[@Youthman]

Everything is moving in that direction. Less heat, lighter, sound just as good as A/B

[@Rascallucci]

@@Youthman "Everything is moving in that direction"? If we are talking about high-end integrated, I don't think so. In fact, I can't think of one with the exceptions of the Jeff Rowland Daemon and Continuum S2, but are people still buying Jeff Rowland these days? Other than that, the standard bearers in this category are still led by amps like the Gryphon Diablo 300 (now discontinued) replaced by the new 333, the Pass Labs INT-250 and so forth, all high-powered Class AB integrateds.

[@Youthman]

@Rascallucci I’m thinking home theater applications. I’m not familiar with Uber high end 2ch components.

[@Youthman]

My channel is primarily Home Theater, but this video was discussing a 2ch setup so I digress.

[@feelgeorge]

Do you know what else is beautiful? The song playing in the background -Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper - Shallow.

[@edwarddesmond2975]

No you do not want to use 2 or 3 in a home theater setup that would just be a waste, Use it for a 2 channel experience but of course they want you to buy as many as you can at $15K but I thought it was $10K I was off

[@ivanfilatov7913]

Love the looks of them, but don't like Marantz warm, laid-back, thick sound.

[@bizmofunyuns6463]

Same, I could never get into it.

[@Carl-bd1rf]

Lifeless marantz sound.

[@rxonmymind8362]

I love a warm sound. That's why I bought a pair of Wharfdale Dentons. I can listen to them all day without year fatigue. I also have a Marantz 2500 which is very Musical and has just enough edge but is laid back.

[@ivanfilatov7913]

@rxonmymind8362 you like a warm sounding speakers and warm sounding amp combo? That's too warm?

[@rxonmymind8362]

@ivanfilatov7913 I might have misspoke a little bit . I have the Sony Str 7045 that's been fully refurbished hooked up to my Dentons. It's a bedroom system so having it warm is fine. Play Marantz 2500 & Marantz 2270 both play off the Klipsch Bells downstairs. This combination gives an engaging airy sound. I don't mind having a warm receiver in a warm speaker in the bedroom. You have to know where to place your sound system.

[@GordonPyzik]

Ill stick with SL 11 S 1 and SM 11 S 1 pre amp and amp. I just know it would be better than this class D synthenic souding stuff

[@edwarddesmond2975]

Why would they even go from that amplifier to that Model M1 😅😅 this is Hilarious and the wrong show .

[@Youthman]

The point is, if you can’t afford $27,000 for the integrated amplifier and streamer, they have a really nice $1000 option in the M1 that you should consider.
