Audionet Humboldt Integrated Amp with Remote and Flight Case Ex demo and in excellent condition with original packaging. A 61kg amp!! Please call or email if interested. Audionet Humboldt integrated amp with remote What then began can quite certainly be counted among the greatest moments of a hi-fi life. As a STEREO editor, one can justifiably count oneself among a rather privileged group of people when it comes to dealing with exorbitantly expensive and high-class components. However, seeing how ...
This £22,000 asking price is ambitious, sitting well above the 75th percentile of £18,708 and roughly £6,700 higher than the median of £15,321 for recent UK listings. While the original US retail hovered around £48,000–£50,000, the used market has clearly settled lower, making this specific listing a steep ask unless the condition is pristine or accessories are exceptional.
The Audionet HUMBOLDT remains a towering reference integrated, delivering 320W into 8 ohms with a frequency response up to 700kHz and distortion under –100dB, making it a powerhouse for demanding speakers. Its 61kg mass and wide-bandwidth design ensure authority and clarity across the spectrum. If this unit is original-owner, fully serviced, and includes the original rack or cables, it could justify the premium; otherwise, buyers should expect to negotiate closer to the £15,000–£16,000 range for a fair deal.

Audionet emerged in 1994 from the innovative labs of Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany, where founder Thomas Gessler and fellow electronics researchers developed cutting-edge sensor and measurement amplifiers. Born from a decade of work on low-noise, high-resolution analog circuits for scientific applications, the company—initially Idektron & Co.—launched its first sensation, the Audionet preamplifier, translating to "sound network." All products are designed and handcrafted in Germany, with roots later shifting to Berlin, embodying a rigorous scientific heritage that prioritizes precision engineering over convention.
The brand excels in high-end solid-state electronics, spanning preamplifiers, power amplifiers, monoblocks, integrated amps like the Humboldt, phono stages, CD/DVD players, network components, and external power supplies. Signature technologies include the Ultra-Linear Amplifier (ULA), originally engineered for medical use, ensuring ultra-pure signal paths via custom miniaturized components. Industrial design by Hartmut Esslinger—creator of the Apple IIc—elevates models like the Scientist Series Stern linestage and Heisenberg monoblocks, blending functionality with award-winning aesthetics.
Audionet commands reverence in the ultra-high-end market as a reference-level boutique, setting benchmarks for transparency, power, and stability that audiophiles worldwide anticipate as events. Handmade in small batches, its electronics deliver uncompromised performance for discerning systems, from stereo purists to advanced home theaters, backed by a global reputation for pushing hi-fi boundaries with scientific rigor.
