Offered is „PERFORMANCE 2“ by Cello as second-hand device from the category „Power Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 2440812122 ends on 01.11.2026 at 07:39 o'clock.
At €15,990, this sits well above the clearest used-market anchors I can find for the Cello Performance family, including a listed pair at about €8,990 and another mono-block-related listing at about €7,500, so the ask looks ambitious rather than fair. Even allowing for the model’s rarity and the fact that Cello pricing can be all over the map, this is not a bargain-level entry.
That said, the appeal is real: these amps are coveted for their big, controlled presentation, tonal color, and the kind of grip that made Cello a reference-name brand. If this unit is truly clean, original, and fully serviced, the upside is in owning a scarce, statement-level monoblock with serious collector cachet. At this price, I’d want strong proof of health, originality, and included power supply/cabling before calling it a buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Cello is an American high‑end audio brand founded in 1985 in New Haven, Connecticut, by the musician and audio visionary Mark Levinson. After leaving the company that bore his name, Levinson set out to create equipment that would surpass existing benchmarks in transparency, dynamics, and musical coherence, leading to the formation of Cello Ltd. The brand quickly established itself as a serious force in the emerging high‑end scene, with early products such as the Audio Palette equalizer and the modular Audio Suite preamplifier setting a new standard for performance and build quality.
Cello is best known for its amplifiers, preamplifiers, digital‑to‑analog converters, and complete system components, including speakers and associated electronics. The company’s designs emphasize low distortion, wide bandwidth, and exceptional control, often using discrete circuitry and robust power supplies to deliver a powerful yet refined presentation. Over time, Cello also became associated with high‑end system integration and bespoke audio environments, reflecting its roots in both component design and holistic system implementation.
Today, Cello occupies a rarefied position in the hi‑fi world as a boutique, ultra‑high‑end marque whose products are sought after by collectors and serious enthusiasts. Its equipment is regarded as some of the finest ever produced, combining engineering rigor with a musician’s sensitivity to tone and timing. As a result, Cello remains a reference‑level brand for those who prioritize uncompromising performance and long‑term ownership value.
