Condition is unknown, so this sits more on the “verify carefully” side than a clean bargain call, but the asking price of A$3,651 is above the typical used range in your database and clearly above the A$3,215 75th percentile. That makes it ambitious rather than fair, unless the seller can show unusually strong provenance, recent service, or very complete accessories.
That said, the M700 is a serious, highly regarded monoblock: lots of current delivery, easy control of difficult speakers, and a sound that tends to combine grip with refinement. If the units are genuinely pristine, original, and boxed with manuals, it’s still a worthwhile amp to own—but at this price, buyers should ask for clear photos of the rear panels, cosmetic wear, and confirmation of no channel or thermal issues before treating it as a premium example.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
PS Audio, a pioneering American hi-fi brand, traces its roots to 1973 when co-founder Paul McGowan launched the company in California alongside Stan Warren. Emerging from the analog golden age, it debuted with a standalone phono preamplifier, reflecting McGowan's early passion for vinyl playback honed through radio station connections and encounters with audio enthusiasts. The brand quickly evolved, embracing digital audio in the 1980s by releasing one of the first high-end CD players, the PS Audio CD-1, soon after Philips and Sony introduced the format.
Today, PS Audio specializes in premium electronics, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and integrated amplifiers, with a hallmark focus on power conditioning via innovative AC regenerators known as Power Plants. These devices, born from Stan Warren's mid-1980s discovery that oversized transformers enhance audio performance, remain a cornerstone. The lineup also encompasses digital lenses for refining streaming and disc playback, alongside select analog components, though it eschews speakers, headphones, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, PS Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its bold engineering and unwavering pursuit of musical purity. Celebrating 50 years in 2023, it occupies a niche as an innovator rather than a mass-market player, appealing to buyers who prioritize transformative power delivery and digital refinement in sophisticated systems.
