Angeboten wird „1161“ von Boulder Amplifiers als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Endverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 5292451429 endet am 21.09.2026 um 13:32 Uhr.
Against your recent EUR comps, €15,900 is a touch above the €15,364 median and just over the €15,630 75th percentile, so this reads as slightly ambitious rather than unfair. It is not wildly off, but it is priced at the top end of your small sample, so I’d want the condition and provenance to really earn that premium.
The upside is the usual one with this class of Boulder amp: serious control, effortless drive, and a presentation that tends to suit buyers who want a no-drama, high-current solid-state power stage that can anchor a system for years. A good condition example is the right kind of used buy if it’s complete and clean, but at this level I’d still verify service history, cosmetic honesty, and that all channels and protections behave perfectly before paying full ask.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Boulder Amplifiers traces its roots to the professional recording and broadcast world of the 1970s, when founder Jeff Nelson, a self-taught electronics expert, built mixing boards for studios. In 1984, the company formally launched in Colorado—initially in an old farmhouse near Superior, later relocating to Louisville—with the debut of its rugged 500 power amplifier, prized by engineers for its clarity and durability. Under Nelson's leadership for over four decades, Boulder transitioned from pro audio gear to the pinnacle of home high-fidelity, maintaining full vertical integration in a sprawling 23,000-square-foot facility where every chassis, circuit, and component is crafted in-house.
The brand specializes in solid-state power amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated electronics, epitomized by flagships like the 2150 monoblock and 800 Series. Absent from speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables, Boulder's focus remains laser-sharp on amplification, delivering ultra-neutral sound with vanishingly low distortion—such as the 2150's 0.00036% THD and 1000W output—and peerless signal-to-noise ratios.
Positioned at the apex of high-end audio, Boulder commands reverence among discerning audiophiles for indestructible build quality, cost-no-object engineering, and machined-aluminum casework that sets unmatched standards. As North America's last fully in-house audio manufacturer, it appeals to buyers seeking unflappable performance and heirloom longevity, with prices reflecting its elite status, like $110,000 pairs of monoblocks.
