Angeboten wird „PRE2 SE reference preamplifier TOP condition“ von EMM-Labs als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Vorverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 7271082723 endet am 07.09.2026 um 08:13 Uhr.
This €5,300 asking price for the PRE2 SE is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile of €4,064 and far under the median of €5,983 from 37 recent EUR listings. While the PRE2 originally retailed around €11,000–€14,000 (converted from $15,000–$16,000) and newer Meitner/EMM models have pushed higher, this listing is priced aggressively low for a reference-class unit in TOP condition, making timing excellent for a buyer before the market corrects.
The PRE2 SE remains a top-tier solid-state preamp renowned for its >110dB signal-to-noise ratio, sub-0.01% THD, and machined aero-aluminum chassis that delivers exceptional clarity and dynamic control. As a discontinued reference model now overshadowed by the Meitner PRE, it offers rare upside: original-owner condition at a fraction of its former value, with no material caveats needed at this price. This is a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking flagship analog performance without the flagship ask.
