Condition isn’t stated, so this is a very strong-looking price if the unit is complete and working: £74 sits far below the £304 25th percentile and even further under the £600 median, which makes it a bargain by the numbers. For a working SPL power amp, that’s the sort of ask that usually leaves room for service, shipping, or a quick refurb and still keeps it a good buy.
These amps are respected for solid build, clean drive, and the kind of unflashy pro-audio reliability that suits serious hi-fi use well. The upside here is obvious: if it powers up cleanly and hasn’t been abused, you’re getting a lot of amplifier for very little money. Just verify the basics that matter on older pro gear — balanced/unbalanced connectivity, any noise at idle, and whether it’s been tested under load — because at this price the main question is condition, not value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
