reference:

re-f-rn(t)s, noun:

“A product or group of products considered to

be superior; a standard-setting achievement that

others may seek to emulate.”

The audio components you’ll soon encounter in these

pages define both a pursuit and a celebration.

The pursuit, as it has always been for Marantz, is the

recreation of music in the home. The celebration is an

amalgam of science, intuition, and experience in the

service of the music we cherish.

Quite simply, these Reference Series products are the

best we know how to make. From virtually inaudible

nuance to thundering crescendo, each one conveys

more than an artist’s intellectual exploration of his

or her genre. It conveys the emotional underpinnings

as well. And lets you listen through the equipment

into the heart of the creative process.

Marantz Reference. Nothing short of revelatory.
