Saul Marantz, the legend behind our audio experiences, was a true pioneer of Hi-Fi.Surrounded by music, Marantz found that a home music system that met his exacting standards in the early 1950's just did not exist. He envisioned a completely new architectural idea for sound reproduction, and employing his skill in electrical engineering, built the proof of his concept - the Audio Consolette, a Hi-Fi pre-amplifier designed for the home.In 1953, Saul's passion project became a business and the Marantz Audio Company was born from his home in New York.The spirit of Marantz has transcended geographies in the decades since.
