In this video, we sit down with the Marantz design team and Marantz Sound Master, Yoshinori Ogata, to explore the philosophy behind Marantz Hi-Fi. We discuss the engineering principles, component selection, and painstaking tuning process used to create the legendary “Marantz sound.” If you’re passionate about high-end audio, amplifier design, and the art of product voicing, this is a behind-the-scenes look you won’t want to miss. 🔊🇯🇵 👉 Marantz Link 10n Review: https://www.audioholics.com/amplifier-reviews/marantz-link-10n-streaming-preamp-review 🛒 Marantz Link 10n: https://audioadvice.io/3ZDE1DU 🛒 Marantz Model 10: https://audioadvice.io/3G5QXvu 🛒 Bowers&Wilkins Px8 S2: https://audioadvice.io/4vcjX9y ► Shop Audio Advice: https://audioadvice.io/3NQEIDf ► Shop Dreamedia AV: https://dreamediaav.com/?ref=3 👉 Book your FREE custom home theater design service NOW: https://bit.ly/HTDesign 👉 Book a consultation with Gene: https://bit.ly/Gene-consultation 🛒 Kaleidescape Terra Prime HDD: https://bit.ly/KscapeTerraPrimeHD 🛒 Kaleidescape Package Deals: https://bit.ly/Kscape-bundle 🛒 NEW Kaleidescape Strato E: https://dreamediaav.com/products/kale... 🛒 Kaleidescape Strato C + Terra Prime: https://bit.ly/Kscape-bundle 🛒 Kaleidescape Strato V Movie Player: https://bit.ly/4bS6Kbf 🛒 JVC NZ800 Projector: https://rb.gy/zb6e1j 🛒 JVC NZ900 Projector: https://rb.gy/qqoov9 Recommended Subwoofers: 🛒 RBH Sound 12SW On-Wall Sub: https://dreamediaav.com/products/rbh-sound-12-sw-passive-active-12-on-wall-subwoofer?ref=3 🛒 RBH Sound 1212-SW On-Wall Sub: https://dreamediaav.com/products/rbh-1212-sw-dual-12-on-wall-subwoofer?variant=43394602270902?ref=3 🛒 RBH Sound 1212-SL On-Wall Sub: https://dreamediaav.com/products/rbh-sound-1212-sl-signature-reference-dual-12-on-wall-subwoofer?variant=43548983984310?ref=3 🛒 RBH Sound 12P-SF/R: https://bit.ly/RBH12PSFRsub 🛒 RBH Sound SI-1212/9: https://dreamediaav.com/products/rbh-si-1212-9?ref=3 🛒 RBH Sound 21N-SF/R: https://bit.ly/RBHSound21SFR Recommended AV Separates Marantz AV10: https://audioadvice.io/3Dv5ob6 Marantz Amp10: https://audioadvice.io/45qrLty Anthem AVM 70: https://audioadvice.io/40yMpFM Anthem AVM 90: https://audioadvice.io/3YySzDr Anthem MCA 323 Gen 2: https://audioadvice.io/3UQJBA2 Anthem MCA 525 Gen 2: https://audioadvice.io/4exQI7B Recommended AV Receivers: Marantz Cinema 30: https://audioadvice.io/4ar0O9S Onkyo TX-RZ70: https://audioadvice.io/4fbRoRs Denon AVR-X3800H 9.2CH AV Receiver: https://audioadvice.io/3AxgmeH Anthem MRX1140: https://audioadvice.io/3YzxZTl Anthem AVM 90 15.4CH Processor: https://audioadvice.io/3YySzDr Yamaha R-N2000A: https://tidd.ly/41jHOHN Yamaha R-N1000A: https://tidd.ly/3ZnkEhf Yamaha R-N800A: https://tidd.ly/3OF64N5 Recommended Speakers: RBH Sound SFTR/AX: https://dreamediaav.com/products/unrivaled-sftr-ax-pair/?ref=3 SVS Prime 5.1 Speaker / Sub System: https://audioadvice.io/3JZJOt5 SVS Prime Elevation Surround: https://audioadvice.io/35aZCdR Polk R700 Tower Speakers: https://audioadvice.io/3C0TK2B Arendal 1723S Tower Speakers: https://bit.ly/Arendal1723s Arendal Sound 1528 Tower 8: https://bit.ly/ArendalTower1528 Arendal Sound 1528 Center+ 8: https://arendalsound.com/product/1528-center-plus-8/?refer=gds Arendal Sound 1528 Monitor 8: https://arendalsound.com/product/1528-monitor-8/?refer=gds Audioholics Recommended Cables: 250ft CL2 12AWG Speaker Cable: https://amzn.to/2vwS9QH 50ft 10AWG Speaker Cable: https://amzn.to/3DeMTT5 Locking Banana Plugs: https://amzn.to/2ZQt15x 9ft 4K HDR HDMI Cables: https://amzn.to/2WiIXeD Klipsch RP-8000F II: https://amzn.to/3M2Mt8n THX Short Reach 48Gbps HDMI Cables: https://bit.ly/THXHDMI-short THX Long Reach 48Gbps HDMI Cables: https://bit.ly/THXHDMI-long Disclaimer: Audioholics earns commissions from qualifying purchases with the Affiliate Links used in the description of this video.
