Offered is „Sigma 170 IQ SE“ by VAC as second-hand device from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1713755970 ends on 12.10.2026 at 20:54 o'clock.
This is a buyer’s market for this piece: at €5,500, it lands just under the €5,569 25th percentile and below the €5,874 median, so it reads as a strong buy rather than a stretch. Against the recent EUR comps, that’s a sensible entry point for a serious integrated and not one of those “hope someone bites” asks.
What makes it attractive is the usual VAC appeal: authoritative drive, scale, and a refined, saturated presentation that suits revealing systems and efficient-to-moderate speakers especially well. In good condition at this price, the upside is real if the service history is clean and the package is complete; for a high-end tube integrated, that matters more than chasing an extra few percent off the asking price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
