RADAR is a price search engine. We link to the original listing — we never sell direct. Transactions happen on the source site.
Recent comparable listings put this model at a £137 median, with the lower quartile at £131 and upper quartile at £170. At £130, this is just below the 25th percentile: a strong deal rather than merely a fair price, assuming it powers up properly and the listing is complete.
The PMA-720AE remains a very capable, well-built integrated amplifier, with a lively, well-timed presentation, controlled bass, five line inputs, MM phono, headphone output and useful pre-out. Its 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms is ample for most sensible speaker pairings, while Source Direct is handy for a cleaner signal path. Check that the remote is included, both speaker channels work, and the controls are quiet, but there is no need to be overly cautious at this figure: a working example is a particularly worthwhile buy.

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.
