This is a solid, near-median ask for a respected high-power stereo amp, not a bargain-bin score but still in the normal used band. Against your GBP comps, £925 sits above the £816 median yet comfortably below the £1,002 75th percentile, so it reads as fair-to-strong, assuming the unit is clean and fully working.
The appeal here is straightforward: Bel Canto’s REF-series gear is well regarded for control, speed, and low-noise authority, and this kind of amp can make demanding speakers sound more composed without adding glare. If the listing includes the original box, manuals, and a documented service history, that would add real value; with unknown condition, I’d want clear confirmation on channel balance, heat, and any protection faults before paying top-end money.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
