Angeboten wird „Octave RE 290 Tube Power Amplifier (Silver) – Excellent Condition“ von Octave als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Endverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 7436723048 endet am 12.09.2026 um 18:11 Uhr.
This is well below the usual used market for this amp: at €3,200, it sits under the €3,569 25th percentile and far below the €5,791 median, so it reads as a strong buy rather than merely fair. Against a typical new-price frame of reference for a serious Octave tube power amp, the asking level is especially attractive if the unit is complete and genuinely serviced-ready.
What makes it compelling is the combination of Octave’s reputation for refined, controlled tube power and the fact that this kind of amp is bought by listeners who want drive, tone, and long-term keepability in one box. “Excellent condition” at this price is the sweet spot; if it includes the original packaging, manuals, and any service history, that adds real upside.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Octave Audio traces its roots to 1968, when Karl Heinz Hofmann established a transformer winding factory in Karlsbad, Germany. His son, Andreas Hofmann, joined in 1975, developing early semiconductor and tube amplifiers. In 2000, Andreas took the helm, rebranding it as Octave Audio to channel his decades-long passion for tube-based electronics into high-end hi-fi components.
The brand specializes in meticulously hand-built tube amplifiers, including preamplifiers, power amps, and integrated models like the V 16 Single-Ended and Jubilee series. Octave emphasizes premium features such as external power supplies, balanced connectivity, adjustable gain, and modular upgrades for phono stages and power conditioning. Their in-house transformer expertise ensures low-noise performance across full-range designs, from 8-watt single-ended units to 30-watt powerhouses.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Octave commands respect among audiophiles for its German craftsmanship, sonic purity, and innovative tube technology. Hand-assembled with top-tier components at their Karlsbad headquarters, these amplifiers deliver uncompromising musicality, appealing to discerning buyers seeking perfection over mass production.
