From humble beginnings in the 1950s, Marantz revolutionized the world of audio equipment. Dissatisfied with existing options, Saul Marantz designed the groundbreaking Audio Consolette Preamplifier, which addressed the challenges posed by inconsistent recording EQ curves. This pioneering spirit has defined Marantz ever since, earning them a reputation for warm, musical sound and uncompromising quality.
Now, Marantz is entering a bold new chapter in its storied history with the introduction of the Horizon and Grand Horizon wireless speakers. These speakers aim to bring the luxury and performance of high-end audio to everyone—seamlessly blending timeless elegance with cutting-edge technology.
Elegance for Every Space
The Horizon and Grand Horizon represent more than just wireless speakers; they are a statement of craftsmanship and design. Wrapped in Marantz Radiance™ 360° Seamless fabric—a sustainable material made from recycled ocean plastics with gold lurex elements—these speakers come in three refined color options:
- Midnight Sky: A classically dark tone for bold interiors.
- Moon Ray: A subtle, bright hue that adds a touch of sophistication.
- Marantz Champagne: A warm, iconic finish that embodies luxury.
The elegant design is further enhanced by a color-matched natural marble base, making these speakers a perfect complement to any décor. While both models can be wall-mounted or placed on a cabinet, the Horizon model also features an optional American walnut tripod stand. This retro-inspired stand adds a vintage camera aesthetic, making it a stunning centerpiece for any room.
Even the unboxing is an experience. The Horizon speaker arrives in a protective case, setting the tone for the luxury it offers.
The Magic of Intuitive Technology
Marantz is renowned for blending tradition with innovation, and the Horizon series is no exception. The AuraControl™ trim ring features 100 hidden LEDs that light up as you adjust the volume with a simple touch, creating an intuitive and tactile control experience. A built-in proximity sensor detects your presence, ensuring the speaker is always ready for action.
Superior Sound Engineering
While their looks are stunning, the Horizon and Grand Horizon deliver where it matters most: sound. Both models feature Marantz Gravity™ drive units for superior audio performance.
- Horizon: A 6.5” front-firing subwoofer, two 25mm silk-dome tweeters, and three 50mm full-range drivers.
- Grand Horizon: An 8” subwoofer, three 25mm tweeters, and four 76mm midrange drivers.
The drivers are powered by Marantz Rise™ amplification, which uses cutting-edge GaN FET technology for exceptional efficiency and fidelity. The Horizon boasts 310 watts of FTC-rated power (745W peak), while the Grand Horizon steps up to 370 watts (860W peak).
With Marantz Mirage™ DSP, these speakers deliver room-filling stereo sound from a single unit. The proprietary “Sound Master Mode,” crafted by Marantz Sound Master Yoshinori Ogata, fine-tunes the speakers to perfection.
Connectivity and Control
The Horizon speakers offer incredible versatility with multiple input options, including:
- HDMI eARC for seamless TV integration.
- Optical input for digital components.
- Stereo RCA for legacy devices like CD players.
- USB-C for music drives.
Dolby Atmos decoding enhances TV and movie experiences, making these speakers as capable for home theater as they are for music.
Stream Your Favorites with HEOS
Marantz’s HEOS app ties everything together, offering universal search across multiple streaming platforms like Amazon Music, Deezer, and TIDAL. With HEOS, you can create playlists from different services and enjoy seamless playback. Support for Spotify Connect, Airplay 2, and Bluetooth 5.4 ensures compatibility with virtually any device.
