Angeboten wird „Chord Ultima 5 / BLACK / 230V“ von Chord Electronics als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Endverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 4473570694 endet am 26.08.2026 um 23:14 Uhr.
This €8,500 asking price is ambitious but not unreasonable, sitting just above the 75th percentile of €8,451 for recent comparable EUR listings, though it remains well below the original retail of roughly €9,990–€11,490. The spread from the median €6,510 to the 75th percentile shows the market already prices in condition and rarity, so this listing trades at the top end of current used demand without being a clear bargain.
The Ultima Integrated is a serious buy because it delivers 125Wpc into 8 ohms in Chord’s sliding Class A/AB design, with exceptional accuracy, 100dB channel separation, and a frequency range of 10Hz–200kHz ±3dB. It’s Chord’s first full-width integrated in seven years, built to a high standard with a transferable 5-year warranty, and in good EUR condition it offers genuine high-end performance. If the listing includes original legs and accessories, the upside is strong for a buyer who values power, clarity, and British engineering at a price that still reflects new-world value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
