Original Marantz Model 9 // Tube Amplifier Monoblocks / Fully Restored / Holy Grail Collector Pieces

SOLD , now part of a Private Collection

Behold, a pristine set of the legendary Marantz Model 9. In the late 1960s, the Model 9 was the top of the line for Marantz and is now one of the most coveted and rare pieces of vintage HiFi gear. Considering the condition and restoration work, this pair would be remarkable even if they were common. And they are not.

It’s hard to convey on paper how much work was put into this restoration, but nothing is too good for such an immaculate pair of unicorns. We are confident that these amps sound virtually identical to the way they did when they left the Marantz factory 60 years ago. The Model 9 has a very stable and robust architecture that can drive just about anything within reasonable sensitivity ratings. Perfect for electrostatics like the Quads or Maggies, and they have a very relaxed, easygoing tonal character that manages to not sound dull or withdrawn. These beautiful amplifiers were some of the first produced, in late 1962, yet they look and sound as though they were made yesterday.
