All-in-one system ₹2,75,000
Isn’t this a beauty? The emergence of all-in-one systems in the world of hi-fi has meant more lifestyle-friendly models in both size and looks, and the Marantz Model 40n is a prime example of just how much first impressions matter. It is immediately visually appealing; all you need to do is add a pair of speakers to this unit and you’ve got a tidy hi-fi system.
The Marantz Model 40n was first unveiled in early 2022 with a launch price of ₨4L+. That price has since come down a few lakhs for patient potential buyers, where it is now available for ₹2,75,000.
A premium just-add-speakers system such as this Marantz has strong competition from the likes of the Cambridge Audio Evo 75 and Evo 150 and the Naim Uniti Atom, all of which are five-star products. Marantz has previous form in this category too, with the older and more affordable Marantz PM7000N wowing us enough with its entertaining sound to win a 2021 What Hi-Fi? Award.
Gorgeous aesthetics
The Marantz Model 40n, however, is a different proposition. Marantz is keen to reposition itself as a luxury hi-fi brand and that intent is clear in the 40n’s gorgeous build and aesthetics.

YG Acoustics Carmel 3
On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
