At US$500, this sits above the US$371 median and even above the US$532 75th percentile by only a small margin, so it reads as slightly ambitious rather than a bargain. It is not wildly off-market, but I’d want some value added — original box, extras, or especially clean condition — to feel fully comfortable at that ask.
The upside is that the A90 is widely respected for being transparent, powerful, and effectively invisible in the chain, so it remains a very easy amplifier to live with if you want a clean solid-state reference. If the unit is tidy and complete, it’s still a sensible buy for a buyer who specifically wants this kind of performance; just don’t expect much discount room unless the seller can justify the premium with condition or accessories.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
