At US$45, this is a genuine bargain: it sits well below the comparable-listing 25th percentile of US$75, against a US$140 median and US$299 75th percentile. Even allowing for its specialist, single-channel format, the price leaves plenty of room for a worthwhile purchase if the amplifier is functional.
The AMP-1200-70 is a serious installation-grade power amplifier, offering substantial output for distributed audio, subwoofer duty, or a custom multi-channel rack rather than typical living-room hi-fi. Its modular design can be useful when building a system around specific channel requirements, and Crestron hardware is generally well suited to continuous-duty operation. Since the condition is unknown, confirm that it powers up cleanly, produces output without distortion, and includes the required module, connectors, and any proprietary hardware. At this price, even a minor cosmetic or accessory shortfall is acceptable; a non-working unit is the main thing to avoid.
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.
