Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Against recent UK asking prices, £749 sits above the £703 75th percentile and well above the £609 median, so this reads as ambitious rather than sharp value. It is not outrageous for a desirable integrated from a respected brand, but at this level the buyer should expect something unusually complete, tidy, and preferably very well documented.

That said, the amp has a strong reputation for a clean, confident, musically engaging presentation with enough drive to suit a wide range of speakers, so the appeal is real. If the unit is pristine, fully boxed, with remote and proof of careful ownership, it can still make sense; otherwise, I’d want the price nearer the mid-£600s to feel like a clear buy.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Roksan

Roksan emerged in London in 1985, founded by Tufan Hashemi and Touraj Moghaddam, two Persian-heritage graduates of Imperial College London and Queen Mary College. Dissatisfied with prevailing turntable designs, they launched the groundbreaking Xerxes platform at that year's hi-fi show, challenging traditional construction and establishing the brand's reputation for radical innovation. Named after Roxana, daughter of Persian King Darius, Roksan infused its identity with cultural roots while rooting itself firmly in British audio engineering.

The brand specializes in high-fidelity components, starting with its iconic analog vinyl replay systems like the Xerxes turntable and Artemiz tonearm. It expanded into amplifiers (Kandy, Attessa, Caspian series), CD players, digital sources, and speakers, blending timeless design with robust engineering. Now hand-built in Rayleigh, Essex, under the Monitor Audio Group since 2016, products like the latest Caspian Series 4G cater to both vinyl enthusiasts and modern streamers.

Roksan occupies a distinctive niche in the high-end hi-fi market as a stylish British disruptor, prized for its boundary-pushing sound quality, reliability, and unconventional aesthetics. Far from mid-tier or vintage obscurity, it commands respect among discerning buyers seeking musical soul over conformity, with a legacy revitalized rather than diluted by its corporate home.
