Offered is „- Endstufe S 1200 (Stereo) - Made in Germany“ by SPL as new device from the category „Power Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1035790712 ends on 22.12.2026 at 06:16 o'clock.
At €6,499, this is basically at the model’s new-price level, not a used-market bargain; typical used asks I found cluster around €3,999 to €4,590, with some dealers still showing €6,499 new. That puts the listing well above fair used value, so I’d call it ambitious unless it includes exceptional provenance or a standout warranty.
What makes it desirable is the usual SPL recipe: serious power, very low-noise refinement, and the kind of grip and control that suits demanding speakers. It’s a genuinely high-end amp with a strong reputation for authority and neutrality, but at this price the upside has to come from immaculate condition, original packaging, documented ownership, and ideally recent servicing or transferable coverage.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
SPL, or Sound Performance Lab, is a German audio innovator founded in 1983 by recording engineer and music producer Hermann Gier. Beginning as a modest garage operation, the company quickly expanded its scope, evolving from experimental prototypes into a respected force in professional audio. Its heritage reflects a relentless pursuit of sonic excellence, rooted in hands-on listening and boundary-pushing engineering that has defined its trajectory for over four decades.
SPL focuses on high-end studio and hi-fi gear, excelling in categories like preamplifiers, compressors, equalizers, monitoring controllers, and headphone amplifiers such as the acclaimed Phonitor. Signature technologies like discrete operational amplifiers and the patented 120V rail system deliver unparalleled dynamic range and clarity, powering tools from the groundbreaking Transient Designer to mastering processors. While primarily pro-oriented for music production, film, and broadcasting, select products bridge into discerning hi-fi applications.
In the market, SPL occupies a premium niche as a boutique leader among audio professionals and serious enthusiasts, prized for innovative design, exceptional transparency, and reliability. Far from mass-market fare, its gear earns cult status in studios worldwide, backed by TEC Awards and endorsements from sound engineers who demand the best.
