2-Ch/3-Ch Power Amp, Proceed, Bryston, Krell etc Hi all , Looking for a 2 or 3ch solid state power amp. Something like a Proceed HPA-3 or even a Bryston SST would be ok (4B/7B). Ta Condition: Working Payment Method: Region/State: (ACT) Australian Capital Territory/Australia By sterlo 0 Comments AUD $2,000 Date: October 29, 20241 yr
A$2,000 is ambitious for a Proceed AMP 2 unless this one is exceptionally clean, recently serviced, and complete with the right accessories. Typical used asking levels in the market look more like roughly A$900 to A$1,400, with occasional higher outliers, so A$2,000 sits well above the usual range.
That said, it’s a respected Mark Levinson-era design with real muscle: about 150W per channel into 8 ohms, solid build quality, and the kind of controlled, effortless drive that still suits demanding speakers well. If the unit is original-owner, quiet, unmodified, and comes with proof of service, packaging, or a matching companion piece, the premium becomes easier to justify; otherwise, I’d treat this as a watch-and-wait listing rather than a must-move buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# Proceed
Proceed was established in 1989 by Madrigal Audio Laboratories as a companion brand to the prestigious Mark Levinson line. Founded by Sanford Berlin, who acquired Mark Levinson in 1984, Madrigal created Proceed as a vehicle for introducing cutting-edge high-end audio technologies at a relatively more accessible price point. The brand operated under the Harman International umbrella and was headquartered in Middletown, Connecticut, drawing on decades of expertise in esoteric audio design and engineering.
Proceed built its reputation across multiple product categories, including CD players, digital transports, DACs, surround-sound processors, and power amplifiers. Early Proceed products—such as the PCD CD player, PDT transport, and PDP DAC—featured distinctive upright industrial design and high-quality component selection. The brand later expanded into multichannel amplification and AV processors, including the acclaimed AVP2+6, CVP2, HPA2, and HPA3 models, which became some of the company's most successful offerings.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audio market, Proceed earned respect among serious audiophiles for build quality, sonic performance, and innovative circuit design. The brand was discontinued in 2003, with its best-performing products subsequently rebranded under the Mark Levinson name. Today, Proceed equipment remains sought after in the vintage and used high-end market, valued for its natural, non-fatiguing sound character and robust engineering that has proven durable across decades.
