Offered is „Electrocompaniet EC - 1“ by Electrocompaniet as second-hand device from the category „Pre-Amplifier / Processor“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 7259212592 ends on 08.11.2026 at 18:05 o'clock.
At €495, this sits well below the €557 25th percentile and looks like a strong buy. Against a median €617 and 75th percentile €657, the asking price leaves enough room for transport, a proper check, or a small service reserve while still reading as a bargain.
The EC 1 is a respected processor from a maker known for smooth, full-bodied, low-fatigue sound and solid build quality, so a clean example can be a very satisfying entry into high-end separates. If it powers up cleanly, switches inputs properly, and comes with the remote and any needed adapters, this is the kind of listing worth moving on quickly.

Electrocompaniet: Norwegian Heritage in High-End Audio
Electrocompaniet was founded in 1973 by Per "Abe" Abrahamsen, a Norwegian engineer and musician who co-created the company alongside broadcaster and producer Svein Erik Børja. The brand emerged from a vision to build transistor amplifiers based on the theoretical work of Finnish researcher Dr. Matti Otala. From its inception, Electrocompaniet has remained rooted in Norway, with design, assembly, and component sourcing centered in the Stavanger region. This commitment to local manufacturing and Norwegian engineering principles continues to define the company's identity and sonic character more than five decades later.
The brand is recognized primarily for power amplifiers and integrated amplifiers, which established its reputation beginning with the acclaimed 25-watt amplifier of the 1970s. Electrocompaniet's product portfolio has expanded to include CD players, streamers, turntables, and speakers—all classified by the company as "fine audio instruments" designed to reproduce music with natural fidelity. Each component is manufactured in Norway and exported to over fifty countries worldwide, reflecting the company's commitment to maintaining production standards and quality control at home.
Electrocompaniet occupies the high-end audio market, earning respect among discerning audiophiles, recording engineers, and major studios for nearly five decades. The brand is positioned as Norway's largest manufacturer of premium hi-fi equipment, with a legacy built on technical excellence and sonic purity rather than mass-market appeal. Despite ownership changes and industry challenges, Electrocompaniet continues to release flagship products under technical leadership trained by founder Abrahamsen, maintaining its standing as a serious contender in the luxury audio segment.
