A premium ask here, not a bargain. At £3,500, it sits well above the 75th percentile of £3,069 for your recent GBP comps, so this is ambitious versus the typical used market rather than merely strong.
That said, this model is well-liked by tube-amp buyers for its big, expansive presentation, proper drive into efficient speakers, and the sort of tone and scale people buy a 845 amp for in the first place. If the unit is genuinely excellent, with original boxes, tubes, and a clean service history, the appeal is real—but at £3,500 I’d want those extras and clear evidence it’s been cared for, because the price only works if the condition and completeness are genuinely top tier.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
