At £190, this Denon PMA-700AE sits just below the 75th percentile of £195 from our recent GBP listings, making it an ambitious but not unrealistic ask compared to the median of £137. While you can find units closer to £111–£137, this price reflects a listing that likely assumes good condition or included accessories, though it lacks the strong deal punch of sub-£111 finds.
The PMA-700AE remains a respected entry-level integrated originally priced around £320 new (€369), praised for its clean Class AB sound, solid phono stage, and versatile inputs including tuner and auxiliary. It’s a reliable, warm-sounding amp that pairs well with bookshelf speakers and offers meaningful upgrade value from budget gear. If this unit is original-owner, fully functional, and includes the remote and cables, £190 is a fair opportunity for a well-loved, no-nonsense amplifier in a market where great deals are rare.

Denon traces its origins to 1910, when American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn founded Japan's first audio equipment company, Nipponophone, initially focused on gramophones and records. The Denon brand emerged in 1939 from the merger of Japan Denki Onkyo—combining "den" for electricity and "on" for sound—with other entities, marking a shift toward professional audio development. This heritage includes pioneering Japan's first professional disc recorder in 1945, used to capture Emperor Hirohito's voice, and launching the nation's first long-playing records in 1951.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of hi-fi categories, from amplifiers, turntables, and tuners to loudspeakers, cassette decks, and phono cartridges. Denon's innovations extend to digital frontiers, such as the world's first practical PCM recorder in the early 1970s, the inaugural CD player in 1981, and early home theater systems with Dolby Digital in 1995. Today, its lineup encompasses AV receivers, headphones, wireless streaming solutions like HEOS, and high-channel processors, blending professional-grade components with consumer accessibility.
Denon holds a commanding position as a mid-to-high-end mainstay in the hi-fi market, revered for its blend of technological firsts, robust build quality, and balanced sound signatures that appeal to discerning enthusiasts. No longer a vintage collector's niche, it competes confidently against premium rivals, backed by over a century of audio leadership and strategic partnerships like its merger with Marantz.
