Offered is „Preamplifier + 2 mono power amplifiers HELIKON“ by Heed as second-hand device from the category „Pre- / Poweramp Combination“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 8093704669 ends on 24.10.2026 at 16:57 o'clock.
This is a seller’s market for this listing: at €18,000, it sits far above the €2,392 75th percentile and is roughly 15× the €1,185 median, so this is not priced like a normal used piece. Even allowing for the rare “preamp plus two mono power amps” package, the number is in ultra-ambitious territory and only makes sense if there is exceptional provenance, museum-grade condition, or a collector-driven sale.
What makes it interesting is the format: separate mono blocks can give strong channel separation, grip, and a properly scale-sized presentation, which is exactly why Heed’s better pieces have a loyal following. As a buy, it only works if the set is complete, cosmetically excellent, and documented, because at this level you are paying for scarcity and originality as much as sound.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Heed Audio emerged from the passion of Hungarian hi-fi enthusiast Zsolt Huszti, who during the Iron Curtain era imported and tinkered with British audio gear like Ion Systems and Nytech designs. Founded in 1993 in Budapest, the brand debuted with the Obelisk integrated amplifier, its circuitry rooted in the concepts of the late Richard Hay, founder of those pioneering marques. Huszti, now owner and chief designer, named it "Heed"—the Hungarian word for bridge (híd), pronounced "heed"—reflecting its bridged output topology and ambition to connect listeners directly to music.
The company specializes in compact, high-performance amplification, including the enduring Obelisk series integrated amps, along with phono stages like the Questar and Quasar, which earned acclaim for synergy with Rega turntables. Heed also produces DACs, CD transports, speakers, and select accessories, all designed and manufactured in-house with global parts. Casework, once UK-sourced, now comes from top Hungarian metalworkers for precision and consistency.
Heed occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end market, prized by European cognoscenti for its "forget hi-fi—remember music" ethos: handcrafted gear delivering sonic purity, musicality, and engagement without ostentation. With a small team in Budapest, it commands respect for unpretentious excellence, bridging vintage-inspired circuits with modern refinement.
