Offered is „Stellar S300 Stereo Power Amplifier ****PRICE DROP TO 1.000EUR incl. ship. to EU****“ by PS Audio as exhibit from the category „Transistor-Poweramp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 4697877372 ends on 22.10.2026 at 07:07 o'clock.
Is this €1,270 asking price a genuine bargain for the PS Audio Stellar S300, or just a fair market deal? It sits just above the 75th percentile of €1,269 from your five recent EUR comparables, making it ambitious rather than a bargain, though still within the upper bound of the current used market where the median is €969. You are paying slightly more than the typical seller, but not wildly overpriced given the 75th percentile anchor.
This amplifier remains a top-tier entry-level Class D choice for enthusiasts upgrading from receivers, delivering 140W into 8Ω and 300W into 4Ω with dual-mono construction and PS Audio’s exclusive Analog Cell input stage for musicality. Its lightweight 6kg design, gold-plated copper binding posts, and stable 2Ω operation make it a versatile, high-authority driver for demanding speakers. If this listing is original-owner condition with full accessories, it’s a solid buy for the performance-to-price ratio, even at this slightly elevated price.

PS Audio, a pioneering American hi-fi brand, traces its roots to 1973 when co-founder Paul McGowan launched the company in California alongside Stan Warren. Emerging from the analog golden age, it debuted with a standalone phono preamplifier, reflecting McGowan's early passion for vinyl playback honed through radio station connections and encounters with audio enthusiasts. The brand quickly evolved, embracing digital audio in the 1980s by releasing one of the first high-end CD players, the PS Audio CD-1, soon after Philips and Sony introduced the format.
Today, PS Audio specializes in premium electronics, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and integrated amplifiers, with a hallmark focus on power conditioning via innovative AC regenerators known as Power Plants. These devices, born from Stan Warren's mid-1980s discovery that oversized transformers enhance audio performance, remain a cornerstone. The lineup also encompasses digital lenses for refining streaming and disc playback, alongside select analog components, though it eschews speakers, headphones, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, PS Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its bold engineering and unwavering pursuit of musical purity. Celebrating 50 years in 2023, it occupies a niche as an innovator rather than a mass-market player, appealing to buyers who prioritize transformative power delivery and digital refinement in sophisticated systems.
