Marantz, the iconic Japanese audio brand, has been honored with the prestigious EISA High-End Integrated Amplifier Award for 2025-2026 for its groundbreaking Model 10. The Expert Imaging and Sound Association (EISA), a coalition of 54 specialist magazines and websites across 27 countries, celebrated the Model 10 for setting “a new benchmark” in amplifier design, delivering unmatched power and sonic excellence.

Sound Master Yoshinari Ogata

The Marantz Model 10, priced at $15,000, is the most powerful single-box integrated amplifier the company has ever produced, boasting 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms and doubling to 500 watts into 4 ohms. Engineered at Marantz’s Shirakawa facility, the Model 10 features a dual-mono symmetrical topology with custom-designed Purifi Class D modules, tuned by Marantz’s Sound Master, Yoshinari Ogata, to deliver exceptional clarity and room-filling scale. The amplifier’s advanced feedback control and bespoke switching power supplies ensure low distortion (0.005% THD at 125W) and immunity to loudspeaker impedance, making it capable of driving virtually any speaker with ease.

Masterpiece of luxury design

Aesthetically, the Model 10 is a masterpiece of luxury design, encased in a copper-plated, triple-layered aluminum chassis with 16mm-thick side panels for minimal resonance. Its signature porthole-style high-resolution TFT display showcases volume, input selection, or animated VU meters, while subtle LED lighting illuminates the internal circuitry through a rippled mesh grille, highlighting the massive toroidal transformer and high-spec components. The amplifier’s 33.7 kg build exudes durability and sophistication, blending Marantz’s classic design DNA with modern elegance.

Pure analog powerhouse

The Model 10 is a purely analog powerhouse, offering four line-level inputs (two balanced XLR, two RCA), a high-quality MM/MC phono stage with three impedance settings, and both balanced and single-ended preamplifier outputs. A headphone output and proprietary Floating Control Bus System (F.C.B.S.) allow seamless integration with up to four Model 10 units for bi-amping or multi-channel setups. The preamplifier section features Marantz’s latest HDAM SA3 modules, ensuring a warm, spacious, and detailed sound signature.

Marantz has always been about crafting audio that moves the soul, said a company spokesperson. The Model 10, tuned by our Sound Master, represents the pinnacle of our engineering and heritage, and we’re thrilled to receive this EISA recognition.

Pairs with SACD 10 disc player

Part of Marantz’s new 10 Series Collection, the Model 10 pairs seamlessly with the SACD 10 disc player and LINK 10n network audio player, forming a reference-grade audio ecosystem. Available in champagne or black finishes, the Model 10 began shipping in October 2024 and is sold through authorized retailers like Audio Advice and The Audio Tailor. Its global demand has already led to sell-outs, underscoring its appeal to audiophiles seeking uncompromising performance.

The EISA Award cements the Marantz Model 10 as a landmark in high-end audio, combining cutting-edge Class D technology, meticulous craftsmanship, and Marantz’s signature musicality to redefine what an integrated amplifier can achieve.
