Symphony 440 Design Group is happy to be one of the authorized dealers for Marantz in India, an award-winning 60-year-old high-end audio product manufacturer from Japan.

The design principle lies on the stern belief that a true hi-fi must be capable of reproducing the magic of live performance, and hence is their philosophy: “Because Music Matters”. To Marantz, perfect specifications and technical accomplishment count for nothing unless a product can unlock the power, empathy and the emotion of music.

In the 1950s, Saul Marantz, a classical guitarist and an ardent lover of music started on a new trial road at his home in Kew Gardens, New York, to build such a power amplifier that delivers music as the musician intended them to be.

Later, on close friendship with Andres Segovia, a talented industrial designer, they infused their visions together to create legendary products.

The Company had a crucial influence in the development of high-fidelity audio systems and reached a new peak of success in the mid to late 1970s. In 1971, Superscope purchased 50% of the stock in Standard Radio Corporation (SRC) of Japan, which had been manufacturing various Marantz Amplifiers and other products for Superscope.

In 1980, Superscope sold its shares to Philips Electronics. In 1982, consumer digital audio became the most enthusiastic reality in North America.

The early 1990s witnessed a significant focus on higher-end components. Following Saul Marantz’s death in the 1990s, Marantz Japan acquired the brand from Philips and controlled all overseas sales subsidiaries.
