Amazing amp. 2x 250w into 8ohm .Built in digital section based on Sabre Ess 9038 PRO chip. One of 50 ever made in this spec. Nr26. Will consider reasonable offers.
Against your own comparator set, £3,800 is well above the £1,950 75th percentile and sits far past the typical used range for this Perreaux. That makes it an ambitious ask rather than a fair-market one, even allowing for the “excellent” condition tag.
The upside is that this is the sort of high-spec integrated that can age well if it’s been properly looked after: Perreaux gear is generally prized for strong drive, smooth control and a refined, unfussy presentation. If the unit is fully boxed, has the remote, and the digital section is confirmed healthy, it will appeal to buyers who want a premium all-in-one rather than a project. At this price, though, I’d want proof of servicing, flawless function and ideally standout provenance before calling it compelling.
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.
