S$5,800 is fair to slightly strong for a like-new B175, not a bargain-basement score but still within the zone where a clean, desirable example makes sense. Comparable used listings I found sit around S$4,600 to S$5,000 for a basic used unit or around S$7,100 new/near-new in Europe, so this asking price lands above typical used but not wildly out of line for a pristine piece with good provenance.
What keeps it appealing is the B175’s reputation as a muscular, very capable integrated: 125 Wpc into 8 ohms, 250 Wpc into 4 ohms, substantial build, and enough current drive to handle demanding speakers with ease. It’s also one of Densen’s more serious all-in-one amps, with optional expansion and a long-standing cult following for control, pace, and grip. At this price, I’d want confirmation of complete functioning, original remote/accessories, and ideally a tidy ownership history—but if it’s genuinely like new, this is the sort of listing a Densen fan could buy with confidence.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Densen Audio Technologies emerged from Denmark's vibrant hi-fi scene in the late 1980s, founded by Thomas Sillesen in Esbjerg. Established around 1988-1993, the brand quickly carved a niche with its passion-driven approach to sound reproduction, blending musical intuition with meticulous engineering. By 2023, Sillesen passed the torch to new owners Casper Reinhold and Ditlev Leth, who acquired the stock and intellectual property to propel Densen forward while honoring its Danish roots.
The company specializes in mid-to-high-end amplification, delivering integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers, and power amps renowned for their rhythmic drive and musicality. Recent expansions include digital streamers like the Oxygen CAST, featuring Google Cast integration, TOSLINK inputs, and analog outputs—all manufactured in Denmark. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables, Densen's focused lineup emphasizes seamless integration and superior craftsmanship in electronics.
Densen holds a respected position among boutique high-end brands, often likened to Naim for its engaging, foot-tapping sound. Internationally distributed and backed by a loyal following, it appeals to discerning audiophiles seeking Danish design excellence without mainstream excess—positioned firmly in the premium niche, where performance and heritage command premium prices.
