Offered is „Complete Preamp, Phono and 300b Monoblock package. Unused.“ by Thöress as new device from the category „Tube-Poweramp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5289680884 ends on 10.12.2026 at 15:24 o'clock.
Age matters here: the 300B monoblocks are a mature, highly regarded design, while Thöress has since expanded the range with newer amplifier and preamplifier variants. At €22,500, however, this package is far beyond the used-market norm: recent comparable asking prices have a median of €6,412, with the 75th percentile at €7,059. Unless this is an unusually complete, current-spec factory package, the price is genuinely ambitious and needs exceptional justification.
The attraction is real. Thöress builds these units by hand, and the 300B monoblocks offer distinctive single-ended, zero-feedback Class A sound, while the matching valve preamp incorporates a capable phono stage and was designed as a coherent partner. “Unused” condition and original packaging could add meaningful value, but the listing should spell out exact model revisions, tube complement, mains configuration, accessories, and warranty. At this price, it is a collector-grade proposition rather than a straightforward bargain.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Thöress, officially Thöress Puristic Audio Apparatus, emerged from Aachen, Germany, around 2000, founded by Reinhard Thöress shortly after his graduation in mathematics (with physics as a subsidiary) from RWTH Aachen University. This historic city near the borders of Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands provided the backdrop for his laboratory, where he began crafting audio components driven by a passion for purist design. With over two decades of hands-on development, the brand embodies a solitary artisan's dedication to analog-era excellence.
The company specializes in high-end tube-based electronics, including hard-wired triode preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and integrated models like the EHT series, all featuring hand-wound transformers for exceptional purity. Thöress also produces highly efficient horn speakers and has ventured into niche analog territory with a precision mass-loaded turntable. This focused lineup eschews digital converters, headphones, or cables, prioritizing vacuum-tube warmth and mechanical simplicity over mass-market versatility.
Positioned as a niche boutique in the ultra-high-end hi-fi market, Thöress commands reverence among connoisseurs for its uncompromising, fully handcrafted craftsmanship and musical transparency. Far from mainstream or mid-tier, it appeals to discerning collectors seeking rare, emotionally engaging sound over raw power or specs, often through limited production and direct European distribution.
