Recent comparable listings put the median at US$4,345, with the lower quartile at US$3,724, so US$3,699 is a strong deal—just below the 25th-percentile mark. Even allowing for the listing’s unknown condition, that is attractive money for this model rather than merely fair pricing.
The BHK 250 remains a compelling hybrid: a tube input stage paired with a powerful MOSFET output, delivering 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 500 watts into 4 ohms. It is known for substantial control, open detail, and a lively but refined presentation, while balanced XLR inputs and dual speaker terminals add practical flexibility. Confirm that both channels are quiet and stable, inspect the Gold Lion 6922 tubes, and verify the original accessories; if it checks out, this looks like a buying opportunity.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
PS Audio, a pioneering American hi-fi brand, traces its roots to 1973 when co-founder Paul McGowan launched the company in California alongside Stan Warren. Emerging from the analog golden age, it debuted with a standalone phono preamplifier, reflecting McGowan's early passion for vinyl playback honed through radio station connections and encounters with audio enthusiasts. The brand quickly evolved, embracing digital audio in the 1980s by releasing one of the first high-end CD players, the PS Audio CD-1, soon after Philips and Sony introduced the format.
Today, PS Audio specializes in premium electronics, including power amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and integrated amplifiers, with a hallmark focus on power conditioning via innovative AC regenerators known as Power Plants. These devices, born from Stan Warren's mid-1980s discovery that oversized transformers enhance audio performance, remain a cornerstone. The lineup also encompasses digital lenses for refining streaming and disc playback, alongside select analog components, though it eschews speakers, headphones, turntables, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, PS Audio commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its bold engineering and unwavering pursuit of musical purity. Celebrating 50 years in 2023, it occupies a niche as an innovator rather than a mass-market player, appealing to buyers who prioritize transformative power delivery and digital refinement in sophisticated systems.
