Marantz Model 1250 (1971–1973)
The Marantz 1250 is a stereo receiver produced from 1971 to 1973. It was reviewed in the January 1977 issue of HiFI-Stereo (p.43), which noted the conservative design approach of its main amplifiers and its effective rumble filtering below 5 Hz. The review also praised the receiver's loudness compensation, which boosted both low and high frequencies, and highlighted a protection circuit that disconnected the speakers during power-on transients — making it, in the reviewer's words, a noise-free amplifier for all practical purposes. The review also measured THD of 0.05 per cent at 75 watts and 0.1 per cent at 125 watts (HiFI-Stereo, January 1977, p.47).
Beyond the review, documentation is thin. No original price is recorded.
