Marantz Model 10 Reference Integrated Amplifier with 250W and All-New Marantz SMPS (Marantz Champagne)

MODEL 10 is the new reference in amplifier design. Featuring a newly designed dual-mono symmetrical amplifier topology, it is the most powerful, highest performing Marantz amplifier ever.

Inspired by Our Past, Engineered for Our Future

MODEL 10 is the new reference in amplifier design and the most powerful and finest sounding integrated amplifier Marantz has ever made.

The Best of the Best

From the triple-layer aluminum chassis with copper shielding to entirely original multi-layer PCBs, isolated sub-enclosures, and all new HDAM modules, MODEL 10 is the product of decades of expertise in audio engineering, setting a new benchmark with meticulous construction, state-of-the art technologies, and elegant design.

Sound Master Tuned

MODEL10 retains the sonic Marantz signatures of warmth, spaciousness, and resolution. However, advances in design and precise tuning by the Sound Master result in the purest expression of the Marantz sound ever. As a result, the listener experiences more detail, lower distortion, and higher dynamic range than ever before.

Iconic Details Reimagined for Tomorrow

Designed with a brushed aluminum front, MODEL 10 is encased in a copper-plated, triple-layered chassis with illuminated mesh cover grille. Lighting inside the amplifier showcases the circuit boards, high-quality components, and specially designed transformer case. In a nod to the Marantz design DNA, MODEL10’s porthole houses a HD TFT Color Display for volume and input selection, along with a digital level meter that behaves like vintage analog meters.

Crafted in Shirakawa

MODEL 10 was conceived and engineered in our facilities in Shirakawa, Japan to deliver the highest performance.
