The £188 asking price looks like a strong deal versus the local used benchmark: it sits well below the £228 25th percentile and far under the £267 median, so this is priced in bargain territory rather than merely fair. Against the small recent sample you gave, there’s real upside here unless the unit has a hidden fault or major cosmetic damage.
This is a well-regarded, no-nonsense integrated with plenty of drive and a lively, muscular presentation that suits speakers needing grip and energy. At this price, a clean, working example is the kind of buy that makes sense for someone who wants solid performance without paying for the last word in polish. I’d just verify basic functionality, selector/volume noise, and that it’s been properly serviced if it’s been sitting unused.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Roksan emerged in London in 1985, founded by Tufan Hashemi and Touraj Moghaddam, two Persian-heritage graduates of Imperial College London and Queen Mary College. Dissatisfied with prevailing turntable designs, they launched the groundbreaking Xerxes platform at that year's hi-fi show, challenging traditional construction and establishing the brand's reputation for radical innovation. Named after Roxana, daughter of Persian King Darius, Roksan infused its identity with cultural roots while rooting itself firmly in British audio engineering.
The brand specializes in high-fidelity components, starting with its iconic analog vinyl replay systems like the Xerxes turntable and Artemiz tonearm. It expanded into amplifiers (Kandy, Attessa, Caspian series), CD players, digital sources, and speakers, blending timeless design with robust engineering. Now hand-built in Rayleigh, Essex, under the Monitor Audio Group since 2016, products like the latest Caspian Series 4G cater to both vinyl enthusiasts and modern streamers.
Roksan occupies a distinctive niche in the high-end hi-fi market as a stylish British disruptor, prized for its boundary-pushing sound quality, reliability, and unconventional aesthetics. Far from mid-tier or vintage obscurity, it commands respect among discerning buyers seeking musical soul over conformity, with a legacy revitalized rather than diluted by its corporate home.
