Marantz Grand Horizon is an all-in-one speaker for those with a taste for luxury audio

If you’ve got Marantz’s latest Grand Horizon wireless speaker, it will probably steal the spotlight in your home long before you even power it up. With its bold circular design and a real marble base, this speaker is all about making a style statement while satisfying the music lover in you. It’s not a stretch to call it a piece of art—and at $5,500 (approx ₹4,62,377), it’s got the price tag to match. Word on the street is that it’s headed to India soon too. 

Marantz has packed these speakers with an array of drivers and a central subwoofer to deliver room-filling sound. The Grand Horizon features a 20cm subwoofer, three 25mm tweeters and four 7.6cm midrange units. It’s got wireless chops too, with direct access to streaming services. Wrapped in eco-friendly fabric made from recycled ocean plastics, its spherical design pushes sound in all directions for 360-degree coverage, per Marantz. A ring of 100 LEDs on the front lights up when you approach and doubles as a touch-sensitive volume control.

At the core of the Grand Horizon’s sound is Marantz’s proprietary 'Rise amplification tech,' a system designed for quick response and thermal efficiency, delivering a claimed output of 370 watts. This muscle fuels Marantz’s Gravity drive units, which use neodymium magnets to promise a mix of precision, responsiveness, and minimal distortion. 

On the connectivity front, it’s well-equipped with Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, and Spotify Connect. If you prefer wires, you’ll find RCA inputs, an optical TOSLINK port, HDMI eARC (perfect for TV audio), and even a USB-C port that can play MP3, AAC, and FLAC files directly from an external drive.
