The P2260 is an older but still highly capable Architect-generation installation amplifier, and the timing matters mainly because newer distribution gear may offer more modern control and integration. At US$1,250, though, this is clearly ambitious: it sits well above the US$971 75th-percentile comparable and more than twice the US$499 median, so it needs exceptional condition or unusually complete accessories to justify the premium.
The attraction is substantial for the right system: twelve channels deliver 100W into 8 ohms or 200W into 4 ohms with all channels driven, while six zones can be bridged to 400W. Input bussing, signal sensing, trigger connections, compact 2U construction, and AudioControl’s protection circuitry make it a serious, flexible whole-home amplifier rather than generic distributed power. At this money, verify every channel, digital input, trigger, and zone-control function, and expect rack ears and documentation; otherwise, patience should find better value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
