Marantz Model 104
Surviving information on the Marantz Model 104 is thin, and what exists comes almost entirely from a factory service documentation page. The record shows a two-way, bookshelf-type speaker system built around a 12-inch woofer and a 2-inch cone-type tweeter, with the crossover set at 1,500 Hz. The factory spec tag lists a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, power handling of 10 watts minimum and 60 watts maximum, and a frequency response of 45 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
Notably, the documentation distinguishes between Western Hemisphere and Export versions of the Model 104, though the Export-specific specs were not recorded. No production years, original price, weight, dimensions, or sensitivity figures have surfaced. There are no owner reports, professional reviews, or collector market data to draw on — the speaker appears to have been a straightforward Marantz bookshelf design of its era, but the archive record simply doesn't yet extend beyond the factory tag. A period issue of Studio Sound (November 1985, p.99) focused on cassette portables rather than the Model 104 itself, offering no direct commentary on this speaker.
