Apollon Premium 12 Channel Power Amplifier One pearl white Apollon 12 channel playground. I'd like to keep it but require the funds for 2-channel pursuits. The interesting configuration of this amplifier was recommended by Apollon as an ideal configuration for bi-amping my mains. It features 6 channels of Hypex NCX500 and 6 channels of Purifi 1ET400. The NCX500s at 380/700W into 8/4 provides a robust bottom end. The 1ET400s providing a sweeter midrange for the mid/tops. To access ludicrous mode each pair of channels is bridgeable, but I never attempted it. Power NCX500 modules: 380W/700W i
What stands out here is that this is a very current custom build rather than a tired legacy amp, and the asking price is right at the documented new price of A$12,216. That makes the used ask fair only if it’s effectively mint, with the warranty transfer intact and no surprises; otherwise, I’d expect a meaningful discount off new.
The appeal is straightforward: 12 channels, Purifi/Hypex-based output stages, high-power headroom, and a compact, serious multi-channel package that suits modern home-theatre or active setups. If it’s less than two months old, original owner, and comes complete with the transferable warranty and packaging, it’s a clean buy at the right spec; just verify the module mix, warranty paperwork, and that all outputs/power supplies are as advertised.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
