Angeboten wird „HP 100 - Preis reduziert von 3.650 € auf 3.250 €“ von Hovland als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vorverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3826954606 endet am 10.10.2026 um 13:27 Uhr.
At €3,650, this sits just under the €3,673 median and comfortably inside the normal used range, so it reads as a fair, buyer-friendly price rather than an edge-case bargain. It is also only a touch below the €3,773 75th percentile, which means you are not overpaying for the market on these recent comparable listings.
That makes sense for a Hovland piece: the HP 100 has a strong reputation for refined, transparent line-stage performance, with that easy musical flow Hovland gear is known for. If the unit is genuinely good and complete, this is the kind of listing worth moving on—especially if it includes the original box, remote, or documented service history.

Hovland Company emerged from the expertise of Bob Hovland, who previously engineered the legendary Marantz 500 amplifier during the company's Sun Valley manufacturing era in the 1970s. Founded in 1999 by Hovland alongside Michael Gargas, Jeffrey Tonkin, and Alex J. Crespi, the Los Angeles-based firm initially built its reputation through meticulously designed passive components and component upgrades before expanding into complete amplification products. The company operated for nine years of electronics manufacturing, establishing a distribution network across 35 countries before closing in 2009.
The brand's product portfolio reflects a specialist's approach to high-fidelity audio. Hovland is perhaps best known for MusiCap, their audio-grade film and foil capacitors sold to approximately 250 manufacturers worldwide and through retail channels. Beyond passive components, the company manufactured a focused range of tube and solid-state amplifiers, including the Radia—their sole solid-state design, which reportedly took a decade to perfect—alongside tube preamplifiers like the HP-100 and HP-200. Hovland also produced cables, mains line conditioners, and remote-controlled preamps.
Hovland occupied the high-end boutique segment, positioning itself as a purveyor of meticulously engineered components for serious audiophiles willing to invest in sonic refinement. The company's nine-year lifespan and selective product range underscore its niche positioning rather than mass-market ambitions. Today, Hovland components command respect among vintage and used-market collectors, with the brand's legacy sustained through its influential passive components and the enduring reputation of its amplification designs.
