Condition is unknown, so £104 is best read as a fair-to-slightly-strong ask rather than a bargain, sitting above the £86 median but still below the £112 75th percentile for recent used listings. That puts it in normal market territory for a clean unit, especially if it’s complete and working properly.
This is a well-liked streaming amp for people who want simple Alexa control plus proper hi-fi connectivity in one box, and it can be a neat way into whole-home streaming without a rack of separates. At this price, the value improves a lot if it includes the original power supply, remote, and decent cosmetic condition; if those are missing, you’d want to negotiate a bit because there isn’t much headroom beyond fair market.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Amazon Echo is an Amazon smart-speaker brand that emerged from work inside Amazon’s Lab126 hardware group in Silicon Valley and Cambridge, Massachusetts, with development beginning around 2010–2011. The first Echo reached a limited launch in 2014 and then expanded to broader consumer availability in 2015; the line is closely tied to Amazon and its voice assistant, Alexa. Amazon itself was founded in the United States in 1994 by Jeff Bezos, but Echo is a later hardware extension of that company’s broader ecosystem.
Product-wise, Echo is known primarily for smart speakers and related smart displays, not for traditional hi-fi categories such as amplifiers, turntables, DACs, or headphones. The brand’s core appeal is voice control, streaming music playback, podcasts, audiobooks, alarms, reminders, and smart-home integration through Alexa. In other words, Echo sits at the intersection of convenience audio and connected-home hardware rather than purist stereo engineering.
In the market, Echo is best understood as a mass-market, mainstream brand with broad appeal rather than a high-end audiophile or boutique hi-fi name. Its products are typically affordable, widely available, and designed for ease of use and ecosystem reach, which makes them popular for casual listening and whole-home control. For knowledgeable hi-fi buyers, Echo is usually more about practical smart-audio functionality than serious two-channel fidelity.
