US$700 is ambitious for this model: it sits well above the US$300 75th-percentile asking price and is five times the US$140 median from 206 comparable listings.
That premium only makes sense if the amplifier is fully tested, exceptionally clean, and the bridging cables are genuinely useful to your installation. It is a substantial Class AB design with 16 channels at 60 watts into 8 ohms, 90 watts into 4 ohms, and up to 220 watts bridged, making it attractive for serious multiroom systems or distributed amplification. The included cables add convenience, but not enough to justify this price alone. Unless condition and provenance are unusually strong, a substantially lower offer—closer to the upper end of the normal market—would be the sensible move.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Crestron was founded in 1972 in the United States by George Feldstein and built its reputation in professional AV, automation, and control systems rather than in traditional consumer hi-fi. It is a privately held company headquartered in Rockleigh, New Jersey, and its core business has long centered on integrated technology for commercial spaces and high-end residential systems.
In audio, Crestron is best known for installation-oriented products: control processors, AV distribution, streaming audio-over-IP systems, amplifiers, and architectural speakers. Its residential audio line is built around the Crestron Home platform and DM NAX distribution hardware, while its speakers are typically developed with partners such as Origin Acoustics rather than sold as standalone audiophile separates.
In the market, Crestron sits in the premium custom-install and high-end integration segment, not the conventional hi-fi retail space. Its appeal is strongest among system designers, integrators, and affluent homeowners who want whole-house audio, automation, and discreet in-wall or in-ceiling sound, rather than collectors looking for turntables, headphones, or vintage separates. It is a niche but major brand in residential and commercial integration, with audio positioned as part of a broader control ecosystem.
