Marantz Canada Price Increases! - Blu-ray Forum

Johnny Vinyl · 03-04-2009, 11:56 AM

Just noticed this morning that Marantz increased their pricing on their Reference Series equipment. I cannot say if this applies across their entire product line as I haven't checked those out in the past and am thereby unfamiliar with any older pricing.

I'm thinking I got lucky as I ordered the Marantz TT15S1 turntable. It went from $1,600 to $2,000 !

I have a $1,000 deposit on it, so I reckon I'm good for the old price! I better be, otherwise I'll cause a stink!

So for anyone interested in Marantz, I'd suggest you buy one soon before retailers delete their stock and have to purchase at the new price!

That's kinda strange.. I noticed their DLP projectors are rather overpriced for their features too. Likely Marantz just realizes that those products target a niche market of enthusiasts willing to spend extra for their brand and, selling relatively few of them, decided to get a better return on their manufacturing costs.

Fortunately their receiver prices seem to have stayed the same. I'd hate to see quality receivers priced out of most budding audiophiles' budgets.

Looks like you lucked out with your timing though, for sure.
