Angeboten wird „V40 SE“ von Octave als Neugerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2349448318 endet am 29.09.2026 um 17:24 Uhr.
At €3,150, this sits below the €4,431 median for your recent EUR comparables and well inside the normal used band, though it is above the €1,670 25th percentile. That makes it a fair-to-good buy, not a bargain-basement score, but still solid value if the unit is clean and properly set up.
These Octave integrateds are well-liked for their quiet, refined, and powerful presentation, with enough drive to make revealing speakers sound composed rather than clinical. If it’s been cared for and includes the original box, remote, and paperwork, that adds real upside; at this price, a well-kept example is worth a close look.

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.
