An Electrocompaniet ECI-3 integrated amplifier incl original remote control.Full specs are listed in the photos.Shipping is not offered by me personally, though I can arrange to hand it to a Pack & Send or similar. Pick up in Padstow NSW is fine.Happy to answer any genuine queries.
The ECI-3 is an older-generation design—roughly a 2011-era amplifier—but it remains current enough sonically that its age matters mainly for condition, not obsolescence. At A$1,350, it is a strong deal: that sits below the A$1,629 25th-percentile comparable and well under the A$1,907 median, making this a genuine buying opportunity if it is working properly.
Its appeal is the substantial, balanced design: 70 watts per channel, unusually strong current delivery, stability with difficult speaker loads, and a clean, dynamic presentation with a rich midrange. Balanced inputs and preamp output add useful system flexibility, while Electrocompaniet’s build and relatively distinctive styling give it lasting enthusiast appeal. For an unknown-condition listing, confirm the remote, check both channels and inputs, inspect the display and controls, and verify there is no hum or protection-mode behaviour—but at this price, those checks are sensible rather than alarming.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Electrocompaniet: Norwegian Heritage in High-End Audio
Electrocompaniet was founded in 1973 by Per "Abe" Abrahamsen, a Norwegian engineer and musician who co-created the company alongside broadcaster and producer Svein Erik Børja. The brand emerged from a vision to build transistor amplifiers based on the theoretical work of Finnish researcher Dr. Matti Otala. From its inception, Electrocompaniet has remained rooted in Norway, with design, assembly, and component sourcing centered in the Stavanger region. This commitment to local manufacturing and Norwegian engineering principles continues to define the company's identity and sonic character more than five decades later.
The brand is recognized primarily for power amplifiers and integrated amplifiers, which established its reputation beginning with the acclaimed 25-watt amplifier of the 1970s. Electrocompaniet's product portfolio has expanded to include CD players, streamers, turntables, and speakers—all classified by the company as "fine audio instruments" designed to reproduce music with natural fidelity. Each component is manufactured in Norway and exported to over fifty countries worldwide, reflecting the company's commitment to maintaining production standards and quality control at home.
Electrocompaniet occupies the high-end audio market, earning respect among discerning audiophiles, recording engineers, and major studios for nearly five decades. The brand is positioned as Norway's largest manufacturer of premium hi-fi equipment, with a legacy built on technical excellence and sonic purity rather than mass-market appeal. Despite ownership changes and industry challenges, Electrocompaniet continues to release flagship products under technical leadership trained by founder Abrahamsen, maintaining its standing as a serious contender in the luxury audio segment.
