This is a 2014-era amp, so the key question is condition rather than timing; the model is mature and well understood, and there isn’t a later replacement that makes it feel obsolete. At £470, it looks very solid value for a well-kept example of a 140W/channel Class AB power amp. New pricing was around £1,250 for the range, and used K3 power amps tend to sit comfortably above this level when clean.
What makes it worth a look is the K3’s combination of grip, smoothness and real drive: it has plenty of current on tap, balanced XLR and RCA inputs, and it’s a genuinely capable partner for speakers that like control and scale. For a buyer, the upside is obvious if it’s been neatly housed and comes from an owner who can confirm it’s fully working, with no hum, channel imbalance or relay issues. At this price, a clean unit is a good buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Roksan emerged in London in 1985, founded by Tufan Hashemi and Touraj Moghaddam, two Persian-heritage graduates of Imperial College London and Queen Mary College. Dissatisfied with prevailing turntable designs, they launched the groundbreaking Xerxes platform at that year's hi-fi show, challenging traditional construction and establishing the brand's reputation for radical innovation. Named after Roxana, daughter of Persian King Darius, Roksan infused its identity with cultural roots while rooting itself firmly in British audio engineering.
The brand specializes in high-fidelity components, starting with its iconic analog vinyl replay systems like the Xerxes turntable and Artemiz tonearm. It expanded into amplifiers (Kandy, Attessa, Caspian series), CD players, digital sources, and speakers, blending timeless design with robust engineering. Now hand-built in Rayleigh, Essex, under the Monitor Audio Group since 2016, products like the latest Caspian Series 4G cater to both vinyl enthusiasts and modern streamers.
Roksan occupies a distinctive niche in the high-end hi-fi market as a stylish British disruptor, prized for its boundary-pushing sound quality, reliability, and unconventional aesthetics. Far from mid-tier or vintage obscurity, it commands respect among discerning buyers seeking musical soul over conformity, with a legacy revitalized rather than diluted by its corporate home.
