At A$1,700, this sits above the A$1,167 median but still below the A$1,989 75th percentile, so compared with the obvious alternative of buying a more ordinary used power amp around the middle of the market, it’s firm but not stretched. It is not a bargain at the 25th percentile level, but for a higher-end March Audio piece the ask is still within the normal upper-middle band rather than genuinely ambitious.
What makes it appealing is that March Audio’s solid-state amps are generally valued for clean power, good drive, and low-noise performance, which is exactly what matters if you want an amp that can handle demanding speakers without fuss. A like-new example also helps, because the upside here is getting near-new presentation and likely lower risk than a tired older unit; if it includes the original box, remote, and paperwork, that would make it a particularly tidy buy.
