Marantz M16 Vintage 4-Way Floorstanding Speaker Pair – Sealed Design – Restored
Professionally Restored, Inspected & Fully Tested by HQaudios
About This Marantz M16 Pair
Know the HD880? Take a closer look at the M16.
Offered here is a pair of Marantz M16 vintage four-way floorstanding loudspeakers,
professionally restored, inspected and fully tested by HQaudios.
The M16 uses Marantz’s distinctive Focused-Field four-way speaker design,
combining dedicated low, mid, high and very-high-frequency drivers with
front-accessible level controls and substantial furniture-style cabinetry.
Each cabinet uses a 12-inch woofer, 5-inch midrange,
1.5-inch LPF tweeter and 1-inch LPF dome super-tweeter.
An important feature of the M16 is its enclosure construction:
this model uses a sealed / closed-box enclosure.
It is not a bass-reflex design.
With the grilles installed, the tall walnut-finished cabinets have the
presence of vintage furniture. Remove the grilles and the mirrored driver
arrangement reveals the more technical side of the design.
Open the hinged front control doors and you will find the
Focused Field identification together with separate
level controls for the Midrange, High and Very High
frequency sections.
Walnut veneer, bronze-colored trim and smoked-glass top inlays complete
the distinctive presentation. The rear labels on this pair carry the wording
“Precision Crafted in U.S.A.”

Why the Marantz M16 Is Worth a Closer Look
The M16 offers a distinctive approach to vintage Marantz speaker design.
Its four dedicated driver sections, sealed cabinet construction,
mirrored driver layout and front-accessible tonal controls give it
a strong technical identity.
The hinged control doors are one of the M16’s most interesting design details.
Open them and the Midrange, High and Very High controls become part of the
technical presentation. Close them and the cabinet returns to a cleaner,
furniture-style appearance.
For enthusiasts exploring vintage Marantz beyond the company’s most familiar
speaker models, the M16 combines substantial cabinet construction with
an unusual and visually distinctive four-way design.
