What Legends are made of..... We'll never forget the impact the introduction of the Marantz Model 7 and Model 9 had on the industry more than 40 years ago. These models fused original circuit design with rational thinking and aesthetic appeal. Not only did these models help establish the Marantz name and brand in the audio world, but also influenced the direction that audio evolution has taken ever since. Today, the Model 7 and Model 9 remain an industry standard and have secured a place in the analog era. They continue to be the audio components of choice by many people. Their rebirth is not for nostalgia's sake, but pride and pleasure. The Model 7 and Model 9 live again, a celebration to their essence. That the Model 7 and Model 9 are still sought-after-components is a testament to the fact that even though musical sources may have changed, thoughtful design and engineering continue to endure, defying the laws of music and audio history. Reviving these two numbers will once again enrich audio history. The distinctive voices of the Model 7 and the Model 9 have been reborn in the SC-7S1 and MA-9S1. Each draws out the musical potential of, for example, Super Audio CD and has therefore the capability to superbly reproduce musical formats of the future. Improvements while maintaining original integrity include: • Enhancement of channel separation in the high frequency range • Significant reduction of cross talk • Low impedance drive capability • High-speed signal handling capability • High instantaneous current delivery capability • Highest reproduction capability for super wide range & dynamic range audio. Even in this technological era you will understand why we've assigned the numbers 7 and 9 to the nameplate of these products. You will recognize their distinct voice when you listen to them.
