RADAR is a price search engine. We link to the original listing — we never sell direct. Transactions happen on the source site.
This is a buyer’s market only if you can verify originality and condition; at £2,302, the asking price looks firm rather than especially cheap for a used example. Recent used asks I found cluster roughly around £2,100-£3,500 in GBP equivalent, with the higher end usually reflecting newer, cleaner, or better-accessorized examples, so this sits below the upper half but not at a clear bargain level.
What makes it worth considering is the amp itself: the SE84UFO25 is a cult single-ended triode design, prized for dimensional midrange, low-power speaker magic, and that vivid, immediate Decware sound. The upside here is potential for a well-kept, original-owner piece, but because it’s listed as condition unknown, I’d want confirmation on tube hours, service history, voltage setup, and included extras before calling it a clean buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# DECWARE
DECWARE, a trademark of High Fidelity Engineering, was founded in the mid-1990s by Steve Deckert in East Peoria, Illinois. The company emerged as a pioneering force in the low-powered vacuum tube amplifier movement in the United States, introducing the iconic Zen Triode amplifier in 1996—a remarkably simple 2.3-watt single-ended triode design that has since sold over 6,000 units across seven revisions. This foundational product established Deckert's philosophy of elegant minimalism and point-to-point hand-wired construction.
DECWARE specializes in tube amplifiers and loudspeakers manufactured entirely in the USA. The product line centers on integrated amplifiers, with the current flagship being the SE84UFO, a class-A zero-feedback design featuring an exceptionally minimal signal path. The company also produces complementary speaker systems designed to pair with their low-wattage amplifiers. All products are hand-assembled and built to exacting standards using premium components.
Positioned as a boutique, high-end manufacturer, DECWARE commands respect among discerning audiophiles and SET (single-ended triode) enthusiasts worldwide, with products distributed to over 54 countries. The brand is known for direct-to-consumer sales, lifetime warranties, and a 30-day return policy. DECWARE occupies a niche segment where affordability meets uncompromising sonic philosophy—accessible entry points into tube audio without sacrificing design integrity or build quality.
