Angeboten wird „Éloquence 250i 40th Anniversary Edition Verstärker“ von Perreaux als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2001635806 endet am 25.07.2026 um 06:02 Uhr.
The Perreaux Éloquence 250i 40th Anniversary Edition originally retailed new for around €6,500, making this €3,990 asking price for a good-condition unit less punishing than sticker shock might suggest. Still, it's ambitious—sitting at the upper end of recent comparable used listings, where the median hovers at €2,914 (25th percentile €1,768, 75th €3,684). You'd want to negotiate down toward that €3,000 sweet spot for fair value, unless it's pristine with full provenance.
Before biting, verify the output transistors and power supply caps, as these boutique amps can develop heat-related wear after 5-10 years; insist on service records or a bench test. Confirm the original remote, manual, and double-box packaging are included—replacements are scarce and pricey.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Perreaux traces its roots to 1974, when Peter Perreaux founded the company in the small New Zealand town of Napier. From humble beginnings with the legendary GS 2002 Class A integrated amplifier, it quickly gained traction through meticulous design and handcrafted quality, expanding exports to Australia and the Americas by the late 1970s. Relocating to Dunedin in 2005, Perreaux has upheld its Kiwi heritage, blending innovation—like early MOSFET adoption in the SA80B power amp—with a commitment to superior sound reproduction.
The brand specializes in high-end hi-fi components, renowned for amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems that prioritize refined circuitry and rock-solid build quality. Its lineup also encompasses loudspeakers and select audio electronics, all hand-assembled with custom-selected parts, including bespoke transistors. Perreaux avoids mass-market diversification into turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, focusing instead on core amplification and playback excellence.
Positioned firmly in the audiophile high-end market, Perreaux commands respect for its reliability, longevity, and uncompromised performance, distributed in over 30 countries. Collectors and discerning buyers value its vintage appeal alongside modern, future-proof designs, distinguishing it as a boutique powerhouse that outpaces competitors through precision engineering and timeless craftsmanship.
