US$850 is ambitious for a Micromega M-100, sitting well above the median of US$296 and just under the 75th percentile of US$737 from your recent USD listings. While the original retail was roughly US$4,500, the asking price exceeds the upper quartile of current used market activity, making it a tough sell unless the condition is pristine or accessories are exceptional.
The M-100 remains a compelling Class AB integrated with a built-in DAC, delivering 100Wpc into 8 ohms and known for its clean, powerful sound and sleek French design. If this unit is in original-owner condition with the remote and power cable included, it could still be a worthwhile buy for a listener seeking high-wattage performance without the cost of newer models—though at US$850, you’re paying a premium over the typical used range and should verify there are no hidden issues like DAC failure or worn inputs.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Micromega, a French hi-fi brand founded in 1987 by Daniel Schar, emerged from Paris with a bold focus on innovation during the digital audio revolution. Its early triumphs included the top-loading CD-F1 player and the pioneering separate transport-DAC CD setup, alongside collaborations like the acclaimed LEEDH speakers by Gilles Milot and the enduring Epure turntable by Pierre Riffaud. Acquired and revitalized by Didier Hamdi around 2007, the company upholds its heritage of in-house French design and manufacture, guided by the mantra of sound purity.
The brand excels in compact, technology-driven categories such as integrated amplifiers, CD players, preamps, power amps, DACs, streamers, and turntables. Standouts include the M-One series flagship M-150 amplifier with 150W Class-AB power, AK4490 DAC, and proprietary M.A.R.S. room correction; the ultra-compact MyAmp; and modern all-in-one solutions like the M100 streamer-DAC-amp with phono input. Past lines like AirDream and MO emphasized accessible high-performance digital and analog sources.
Micromega occupies a niche boutique position in the mid-to-high-end market, prized by discerning buyers for its forward-thinking engineering and value-driven pricing—from under €500 for entry-level amps to around $7,500 for flagships. Longevity since the 1980s earns it respect among vintage enthusiasts, while recent UK returns via Absolute Sounds affirm its cult following, though sparse warranty data tempers expectations for some.
