Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Roksan’s Attessa sits in that sweet spot of modern integrateds: clean design, useful connectivity, and enough drive to make a serious system easy to live with. At £675, it lands a little above the £609 median but still inside the £524–£710 typical used range, so this reads as fair rather than ambitious.

That makes it a sensible buy if the unit is tidy and fully working, especially if you want a current-feeling amp with broad appeal and less fuss than older separates. The real upside is getting a well-regarded, no-nonsense integrated without paying top-of-market money; at this price, I’d mainly want reassurance on condition, accessories, and that the controls and inputs behave properly.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Roksan

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.
