A used PMA-720AE at £137 is right on the money versus the local market: it sits essentially on the £137 median, with the wider spread running from about £132 at the 25th percentile to £170 at the 75th. That makes this a fair, sensible ask rather than a bargain or an ambitious price.
What makes it worth a look is the Denon’s strong reputation for lively timing, solid drive and an easy-to-like, full-bodied presentation; it’s a straightforward integrated amp that can make modest systems sound confident and musical. At this price, the upside is mainly value: if it’s clean, fully working and includes the remote, it’s an easy buy for someone wanting a reliable, well-regarded amp without paying new-hardware money.

Denon traces its origins to 1910, when American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn founded Japan's first audio equipment company, Nipponophone, initially focused on gramophones and records. The Denon brand emerged in 1939 from the merger of Japan Denki Onkyo—combining "den" for electricity and "on" for sound—with other entities, marking a shift toward professional audio development. This heritage includes pioneering Japan's first professional disc recorder in 1945, used to capture Emperor Hirohito's voice, and launching the nation's first long-playing records in 1951.
The brand excels across a broad spectrum of hi-fi categories, from amplifiers, turntables, and tuners to loudspeakers, cassette decks, and phono cartridges. Denon's innovations extend to digital frontiers, such as the world's first practical PCM recorder in the early 1970s, the inaugural CD player in 1981, and early home theater systems with Dolby Digital in 1995. Today, its lineup encompasses AV receivers, headphones, wireless streaming solutions like HEOS, and high-channel processors, blending professional-grade components with consumer accessibility.
Denon holds a commanding position as a mid-to-high-end mainstay in the hi-fi market, revered for its blend of technological firsts, robust build quality, and balanced sound signatures that appeal to discerning enthusiasts. No longer a vintage collector's niche, it competes confidently against premium rivals, backed by over a century of audio leadership and strategic partnerships like its merger with Marantz.
