Is A$2,250 for a like-new March Audio P451 Mono a bargain, or just fair? Given that the P501 mono lists new at A$5,000 and sold used for A$2,700, and the P452 (a closely related 450W stereo model) is a top-tier solid-state powerhouse known for ultra-low distortion and massive current, this single mono at A$2,250 sits well below the typical used price for the P501 mono. Assuming the P451 mono is the 450W single-channel version of the P452, this asking price is a strong deal, likely below the 25th percentile of the used market for this class of March Audio amplifiers.
The P-series solid-state amps are beloved for their clinical precision, sky-high damping factor, and ability to drive difficult loads without strain. Buying a like-new P451 Mono at this price means you’re getting a high-wattage, low-noise, hand-built amplifier with minimal wear—essentially original-owner condition that usually commands more. With March’s reputation for robust build quality and optional extended warranties on newer units, this listing offers genuine upside for a fellow enthusiast seeking transparent, high-current performance without the tube maintenance headache.
