Classic Marantz 1040 2x20W Amplifier 1974 Restored with Warranty
From Marantz’s “golden era” the 1040 is a simply beautiful compact (360mm wide) amplifier using their patented “inverted Darlington” topology. The result is a sweet sounding amplifier that belies it 2x20W rating. It’s a good looking thing too, featuring the classic Marantz look of a virtually symmetrical layout and slide controls for balance and bass / treble. (The tone controls have indented steps.) The front face is brushed silver and black, and the amplifier cover is finished in woodgrain.
