Q: QuestionThis unit just went up in price by @ $200.00. I still see it online for the lesser price. You are entitled to charge whatever the market will bear.. I was just curious why the increase for existing stock? The Marantz site reflects the change as well.

Asked 3 years ago by MiketheD.

• A:Answer Hi MiketheD, It is largely down to global inflation in our supply chains. We have been absorbing price increases from our suppliers for some time now, but we can no longer do so. If the AV7706 is still listed for less on a dealer website, a rapid purchasing decision may be wise as the changes may not have gone live in our dealer network yet.
