Offered is „860 A V2“ by Moon as second-hand device from the category „Transistor-Poweramp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5361075542 ends on 02.11.2026 at 06:03 o'clock.
Are you getting genuine 860A v2 value, or paying near-new money for a heavy, elite amplifier? At €12,000, this sits above the used asking prices I found—about €9,700 on Audio-Markt and roughly €7,900 on Audiogon—so it reads as ambitious rather than a bargain. Even against the original UK list price of £16,750 and later MSRP around $18,000–$19,500, it’s not crazy, but it isn’t the kind of under-market score that should disappear immediately.
That said, this is a serious piece: a dual-mono, balanced, high-current power amp with 225W/chan into 8 ohms and a reputation for control, scale, and low noise. If the listing is clean, from a careful owner, and includes the box, manual, and remote/packaging as applicable, the main upside is simply owning a top-tier Moon amp that should partner difficult speakers with ease. At this price, I’d want proof of service history and immaculate cosmetic/mechanical condition before calling it a buy.

Moon by Simaudio traces its roots to 1980, when Victor Sima, an audio engineer who emigrated from Israel to Canada, founded Sima Electronique in Quebec with a deliberate mission to craft superior-sounding audio products at accessible prices. Initially targeting professionals, the brand quickly won over audiophiles for its value and sonic excellence. Sima retired in 1994, selling to Jean Poulin, whose leadership elevated the company; by the late 1990s, the premium MOON series emerged from the successful Celeste line, embodying innovation and engineering precision while remaining privately held for unwavering control.
The brand specializes in high-performance electronics, excelling in integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, DACs, and streaming solutions that prioritize musicality and build quality. Hand-assembled in-house with custom chassis and rigorous burn-in testing, MOON products span reference-grade separates to all-in-one systems like the ACE, alongside multi-channel AV amplifiers. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables, their focus on pure analog and digital playback delivers cosmic precision and futuristic design.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Moon by Simaudio commands respect among discerning buyers for its clear, natural sound that makes music visceral rather than tweaky. Exported to 45 countries with accolades from Stereophile and The Absolute Sound, it rejects mass-market compromises, offering approachable luxury that bridges specialist hi-fi with broader appeal—vibrantly successful today as a Canadian benchmark for uncompromising performance.
