Offered is „REVOX amplifier an tuner B261-B251 incl remote control“ by Revox as second-hand device from the category „Fully integrated Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5457389308 ends on 26.11.2026 at 14:16 o'clock.
In good condition, €600 feels ambitious versus the recent used pool for this amp: the anchor data puts the median at €299, with the upper quartile at €450, so this listing is sitting clearly above the usual range. It’s not absurd for a desirable vintage Revox, but it’s priced like a premium example rather than a straightforward buy.
What makes the B251 worth attention is the solid, authoritative Revox house sound and the fact that it’s a properly built integrated from a respected era, with real appeal to collectors and listeners who want something sturdier than mass-market fare. At €600, the upside depends on whether this one is genuinely clean, fully working, and ideally serviced; if not, the age-related risk starts to matter more because you’re already paying beyond the typical market.

Revox traces its origins to 1948 in Herisau, Switzerland, when Willi Studer founded his company as a workshop for electronic equipment, initially producing high-voltage oscilloscopes and early reel-to-reel tape machines under the Dynavox name. By 1951, Studer launched the first Revox-branded recorder, the T26, marking the brand's entry into premium consumer audio while reserving the Studer name for professional studio gear. This Swiss precision engineering heritage propelled Revox through decades of innovation, from the iconic A77 tape deck in 1977—paired with matching amplifiers, tuners, and turntables—to speaker development starting with the AX series in the 1970s, all designed to deliver studio-grade fidelity to discerning home listeners.
The brand's product focus centered on high-end analog playback, excelling in reel-to-reel tape recorders like the legendary A77 and B77, which became staples for audiophiles. Revox expanded into complete hi-fi systems, including integrated amplifiers, FM tuners, turntables sourced from partners like Thorens, and loudspeakers manufactured in their Black Forest facilities. While digital components like DACs and modern streaming gear emerged later, the core legacy remains in meticulously engineered tape machines and matched system components that prioritized sonic purity over mass-market appeal.
Today, Revox holds a revered position as a high-end vintage icon and collector's favorite, synonymous with uncompromising Swiss build quality and studio-derived performance. Though separated from Studer in 1994, the brand endures as a niche boutique force, recently reviving reel-to-reel production in 2016 with partners like Horch House, appealing to purists who value heritage engineering in an era of digital convenience.
